CNN sucks

[Matariki]

I was stuck watching CNN at the gym today and the entire 'Your $$$$' program was dedicated to bashing Obama's stimulus package and budget. There was NO balance from the hosts or the guests and it was full of lies. The dim witted host on the show ranted on about 'everyone she talked to' pointed out to her that earning $250k is the 'American Dream' (!?!?!!) and that taxing that amount is somehow un-American or something. It took every bit of willpower I had to not throw my running shoes at the tv.

Someone should point out to that bimbo that more people could achieve the 'American Dream' (which I seriously question is a particular dollar amount) if we funded college for people no matter what class they are born into, or a health problem in the family didn't mean losing everything you've ever worked for.

Actually, the idiots on that show are just saying what they're told. The offensive is obviously on.

1. You know, sometimes its a good idea to just send them an E-mail and tell them how you feel

2. Good idea. I'm still in a pissed off, rant-y mood.

You write a nasty and I'll write a nastier one. Maybe some of these other good folks will send them one too:

4. You see here is the dirty little secret...

I will wager money that not one of those people on that show today makes less than $250k...

Their taxes are going up and they are pissed about it...

For the last 30 years, everything in this country has been aimed at making their lives better at the expense of people yet born...

9. Sure, and I'm sure all those 'people she talked to' were her equally well off friends

And I'm not knocking making that kind of money, but because it's a minority they have to try and hypnotize the general public into thinking they are somehow part of 'the club'. At least in potential.

It's not the American Dream, it's the American Mass Delusion.

6. Earlier they had a segment on the Obama health care plan

Started out saying "We don't know exactly what will be in the plan." Then went on to criticize all these provisions that they claimed would be in it, even though few specifics have been announced by the Obama team.

Even as they started, I thought to myself, "You don't know what's going to be in it, so you will MAKE SHIT UP!" I hate it when I am right about stuff like this.

8. Hey, pay me $250K and I will gladly return ... what ... $300 on every 10K

above that? I think that is fair.

Class warfare begins with the guillotine. The rich should keep that in mind.
