By all means, CNN, let's milk this NYC Air Force One Flyover Photo Op to Death.
Now they're playing the 911 calls from understandably frantic callers.

It's been two days, I guess it'll run through the weekend.

Aren't there better things to cover, CNN, hmmmm? :shrug:

2. Yep. I'm not surprised, but I still get a little angry.
Could be worse, they could still be looping Rev. Wright sermon snippets.

4. You know, this time I'm glad they're doing it

Because it did scare the crap out of a hell of a lot of people and it was stupid beyond belief and it's a damn serious thing to do and people need to be held accountable...

Dumb thing to do.

6. I just had a meeting with a freeper and they mentioned it 3 times. They were disappointed I think
that no one took the bait. They are certain that the president knew about it.
Is CNN calling for an investigation? What did the president know and when did he know it and all that?

8. They're rolling in the "fun" of airing the 911 calls of terrified citizens.
That sort of thing makes them wet. Like violence, blood, death, fear, etc.

Maybe when the torture photos are released we can get back to investigating the real criminals of Washington DC.

10. Why should this story be any different?
We still get two print newspapers every morning, and I am amazed to read how so many things happen around the country and the world that neither CNN nor MSNBC would even mention in their "all news all the time."

But hey, anyone with a camera can send his face expressing his opinion about Obama and will get an instant fame. This is when I turn CNN off. I have it on to learn about news and occasional commentary, not to have the faces of their "ireporters" shoved in my face.

13. Created in 2003, they should praise this administration for catching and removing it.
But they won't.

It will play out as Obama's fault and they'll ask for Janet Napolitano's head.

16. If This Happened Under BushCo - They'd Be Claiming They Stopped An Attack On.......
NYC.

If Cheney was in NY and saw this he must have had a orgasm (thinking we were under attack again)- so he could say I told you so.

17. It's because it's the only
true screw up the Obama administration has given them. Everything else is a matter of politics or difference of opinion.

23. Yeah, huh....
I've had a couple "discussions" with people who think what happened was awful, just awful!

I must have a thicker skin or tougher background.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, and panic just makes people easy victims of events, of enemies, and, most sadly, of themselves.

26. They really, really, are.
I had it on searching for info on the President's Town Hall event.

Even MSNBC plays by the rule, "if it bleeds, it leads".

Gotta love DU for more reliable sources, and better discourse!

27. And here's the catch
because of the furor this has understandably caused, they'll never be able to use the photo in any materials.

Thing is, it's not like Obama signed off on this. Some bonehead got carried away. Perhaps it would end if someone got fired.

28. It was a hare brained plan in any case, expensive, what was the purpose?
These photos were going to be used for what?
