CNN whoring as usual
On CNN, they carried glowing coverage of Bush's visit to Ohio. On the other hand, when they discussed Kerry's visit to New Mexico, they just couldn't resist showing a tape of someone lying about Kerry's war record. Where do they get off on doing this? It's so blatantly biased that any moron could see it. The media is exactly where it was when the chimpanzee stole the WH in 2000--absent. CNN is the worst culprit.

1. Stop watching
The corporate media only values ONE thing:

MONEY

There IS no true American media anymore.

Thank goodness for the internet..

5. Saw that
Candy Crowley trying desperately to give credibility to those sad axe-grinders someone has paid to say bad stuff about Kerry's military record.

Pathetic.

6. quit complaining and do something
takes notes of exactly WHAT you say, find a transcript if possible

and then e-mail CNN's news chief here:

Eason.Jordan@turner.com

He might look into it, and he might write you back. He did me, yesterday, when I busted them on something.

Be as specific as possible.

If you post it here, I'll e-mail them as well, and so SHOULD a lot of other people, but you need to be specific.

What was the show, what time was it on, who was the reporter, and go here for a transcript:

9. Is one of the sad ax grinders "Merrie" someone from Texas? She was
and probably still is involved in the Chimp's campaign.
I guess Candy probably mentioned their ties to Bush's Pioneers.I detest them. Candy especially. I will never forget her near tears election night performance.

8. Okay I agree in the daytime, they bash Kerry but at night
Well last night, Lou Dobbs asked the President to personally apologize for the tortured prisoners. He looked pissed as hell. What other media type as asked Bush to do that on the air?

Then Aaron Brown read a letter from a Republican that is disgusted with BushCo's handling of Iraq. And he ended that if that is the state of Bush's support, he's going to have some problem this election.

If you watched those two shows, you would be convinced CNN was liberal.

Also, on Larry King, Joesph Wilson was on. They had one congressman defending the Chimp,and some other female congressperson and she said the words I've been longing to hear:

It's a question of competence and leadership. (Yes I was screaming at the TV, you can't have an idiot for a President America and think it's going to be okay) She mentioned it more than once.

There is too much stink to ignore, no matter how much they try to trash Kerry, everyday there is Iraq. What's happening today trumps whatever happened yesterday, and that's all the media is good for.
