John Roberts said CNN has declared a “Rev. Wright-free zone”– “our viewers want us to move on.”

Can anyone else verify this? I can find no other mentions of it online.

If true, let's drop Mr. Roberts a note of thanks for standing up for what's right. http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form4.html?97

[spanone]

1. yes, let's move on to pat robertson and john hagee

they are only moving on because they have squeezed every penny out of the wright situation....the ONLY reason

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

27. ...Parsley and Coe...

[DevonRex]

2. I will do that. And I'm going to email MSNBC about it, too. If

CNN has gotten lots of feedback from viewers saying they're sick of Wright, then MSNBC must have, too. As a matter of fact, I had emailed MSNBC last week telling them that until they cut out the All Wright All the Time BS, then the only one I would watch is KO.

Time for another round of emails everybody.

[DangerousRhythm]

7. Nice, I emailed MSNBC last week myself...

...and I don't normally mail cable news channels. I've done it maybe twice in four years. I just couldn't take the pastorbation anymore and wound up writing the MSNBC morning people a scathing email.

[curious one]

33. Can you or others post individuals email addresses to MSM programs

I am looking to find out the emails. I am fed up with BS on the air and biased reporters.

[EFerrari]

3. Maybe they really don't want us to call them the KKK channel

lol

:)

[Triana]

4. They ALL should have done that. A week ago. I'm not surprised people are sick of it. n/t

[Cosmocat]

20. Yep ... Damage done ...

They drug it out hard and long enough to get it pull him down in NC and probably ensure Hill gets Indiana ...

Mission accomplished ...

[DangerousRhythm]

5. If this is really true...

...color me shocked. Seriously, moving on from a stupid issue, WILLINGLY? Does that ever happen on cable news unless the old stupid issue is replaced with a newer, dumber issue? Is this even possible?

[Toucano]

6. Thank them?

It's already too late!

They beat the drum loud and strong and now we should compliment them?

No thanks.

[cjsmom]

8. it doesn't matter now,

all the voters it will influence have already seen it. And they won't forget the story.

[tabasco]

9. 1a.m. last night. Couldn't sleep. Crime show listed on MSNBC. Turn it on. What do I see?

Reverend Fucking Wright, one-hour special.

They preempted regular programming to play more Reverend Wright.

It's times like this that they abandon subtlety and we see the agenda of the corporate media.

[DevonRex]

14. I did the same thing! It was almost like they were trying to

hoodwink people into watching that stupid show.

[tabasco]

16. OMG! The name of the show that was supposed to be on was "Cult Crime!"

:wtf:

[graycem]

21. They've been rerunning that all weekend

since it first aired Friday night. After it was airing again on Saturday, I finally had enough and sent Dan Abrams producers an email complimenting him on becoming MSNBC's Sean Hannity. I never write these shows, but their bias has long since gone over the top, so if I got to that point, I'm sure many others did as well. I will not watch anymore of their garbage, with the exception of Keith O.

[chill_wind]

26. I can vouch. Three days. Just in case one last viewer was left in America that missed

the whole last week of it.

[Coexist]

10. I just saw it - here's the video:

he was getting ready to interview Obama and said that. However, it seemed like that may have just been for that interview.

here's a link to the video, you decide!

[SparkyMac]

11. Is Roberts this damn stupid -- or is he pandering ? n/t

[lolamio]

12. Gee, John...Ya' think?

I am so freaking tired of the lot of them.

[jefferson_dem]

13. According to NYT poll, a large majority of voters (58%) say media has spent too much time on Wright.

...

[Neshanic]

15. Alert the media. John Roberts has spoken.

[goclark]

17. thanks for the link ~ let's all email Roberts

I'm sure it was difficult for him to do considering his group think.

[killbotfactory]

18. The damage is done

The trick is that they know if they spend months at a time on some horseshit issue, constantly pounding it day in and day out, with every dumbass pundit pontificating about how it's hurting a candidate, it's going to have an effect on peoples perceptions. It doesn't matter whether anybody actually cares or not.

[bpeale]

19. personally, i say John Roberts should STFU

[TeamJordan23]

22. Where are you reading this. Can someone post the permalink for this? nm

[SoCalDem]

23. And every day they will tell us why they have stopped running stuff about Wright

and to make sure people understand why, they will run the clips, and again tell us that they are no longer going to talk about him :eyes:

[oasis]

24. Obama has been de-programmed after 20 years under the influence of Wright.

:eyes:

[mrreowwr_kittty]

32. Of course not.

He still to kill Whitey.

MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!


:eyes:

[d00mzday]

25. My friggin god

My friggin god they finally clued in. Cnn catches on quicker than Hilary, but just like Hilary I don't care what they have to say.
The good thing is maybe they will burn out the Wright story so bad, that during G.E know one will give a crap when they run attack adds against obama?

[Cha]

30. May-be, We, ll

see, d00mzday.

[Arugula Latte]

28. I called them a couple times recently to complain. I couldn't help but cuss a bit here and there.

It's so frickin' unbelievable how they'll devote hour after hour after hour after hour to this insignificant crap and totally neglect the real issues of the day.

[Cha]

31. Thanks, Oregonian!

Who's the friggin programer over there on cnn!? Should be fired for redundancy.

[Arugula Latte]

34. Hey, sure.

Usually I just think of those calls as venting. I picture them just deleting all the remarks one after another. But, who knows, maybe sometimes after enough people complain it does sway them a bit...

:hi:

[Cha]

29. cnn was into the status quo.. overstaying their welcome

but the viewers emails made it crystal clear they had to at least act like news people.
