Fuck CNN Fuck Dana Milbank and FUCK Candy Crowley

[Puglover]

Those two shills are sitting and happily discussing how the Dick Clarke testimony hasn't affected the squatters poll numbers at all. Where are they taking these polls anyway? Goddamn I HATE these lying assholes.
Sorry to regurgitate my anger all over you fellow DUers but it just makes me crazy listening to this shit.
I know I know...so don't listen.
:mad:

[wakfs]

1. Relax

Deep healing breaths.

[Puglover]

5. I'm serious

I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I swear these "polls" are bogus. I simply doesn't make sense.

[rinsd]

7. Why are they bogus?

Don't underestimate the proclivity of the vast majortiy of American people to yawn at things that do not go boom or show boobies.

26. D5E:destruction, degradation, denial, disruption, deceit, and exploitation

Read this document before you believe another word from CNN! :evilgrin:

CONCEPT PAPER

Working Group on Preventive and Preemptive Military Intervention

William W. Keller and Gordon R. Mitchell1
Project Coordinators

<Snip>

U.S. Senator Jay Rockefeller (D-WV), the ranking Democrat on the Senate
Intelligence Committee, called for an FBI investigation into the forgery of documents cited by President Bush and Secretary Powell as proof of Iraq’s nuclear transactions with Niger. As Rockefeller explained in a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller: “There is a
possibility that the fabrication of these documents may be part of a larger deception campaign aimed at manipulating public opinion and foreign policy regarding Iraq.”26

The timeliness of Rockefeller’s proposed inquiry was underscored by the
appearance of official documents that lay out official American deception plans: "In a document last autumn, the joint chiefs of staff stressed the need for strategic deception and influence operations as tools of war. The army, navy and air force have been directed to devise plans for information warfare."27

According to defense analyst William Arkin, the Bush strategy lays out goals for information warfare that pursue D5E: "destruction, degradation, denial, disruption, deceit, and exploitation." Arkin notes that the wide array of sites and practices of information control brought into the range of this policy "blurs or even erases the boundaries between factual information and news, on the one hand, and public relations, propaganda and psychological warfare on the other."28

This fusion of military deception programs with media propaganda efforts enabled the Office of Strategic Influence to commission officers from the U.S. Army's Psychological Operations Command to work as interns in the news division of CNN.29

[Media_Lies_Daily]

45. I agree 100%...just more "data manipulation" to brainwash the public.

[Eurobabe]

2. the whole show today

made me want to barf, from start to finish -- in which Jeff Greenfield was talking about dieting (a subject Candy-ass knows nothing about) Have another cheeseburger is right.

[KissMyAsscroft]

3. Here! Here!

I'm right with ya man!

It's pure propaganda, and I feel sorry for anyone who thinks that it in any way represents anything but the government and corporate interests.

[goclark]

4. CNN is over the edge

Candy is really losing it today.
Talking about the most attractive women and men in politics. This is from some "poll" that she is given.

Where is her counter point? She is one dangerous media mess up.
She gives the name journalist a bad name.

[still_one]

6. Sorry Dana and Candy aren't my type

[displacedtexan]

8. I had to turn Candy-ass off!

I read another chapter of Clarke's book instead.

[KoKo]

9. Turn it off. The "Empire" is fighting back. You thought they would "go

down easy?" What.....??

[tom_paine]

15. Just the opposite Koko, I expect the Busueviks to only leave after

some serious dead bodies piled up, one way or another.

This is shaping up to be a terrifying 8 months.

My most ferverent hope is that LIHOP #2 will be the Busheviks cutting off Raygun's feeding tubes so that his death will be "conveniently timed" in October.

Any of their other Plan B's are too horrifying to comprehend but I would give a shout out that San Francisco should watch out because I think LIHOP is coming there next.

[KoKo]

23. I share your feeling about the next 8 months. It's overwhelming, that's

why tuning out "the pipeline" of the "hydra," our American Media is so crucial. Although, I do check it out from time to time and post here in indignation...most of the time it's OFF in my house. My sanity for the next 8 months is of prime importance. I don't have much left in the way of sanity after the previous over three years...but hey I gotta keep some away from them! :D laughing hysterically. Being tuned to the tube waiting for them to realize what's been going on is fantasy. Just have to take it in "little bytes."

[Puglover]

10. And here's Mr Begala

scolding all those mean and nasty demonstrators for going to KKKarls house and protesting. Normally I like you Paul but fuck you too. As far as I'm concerned the gloves came off a long time ago with these souless bastards

[PROGRESSIVE1]

12. So Paul has joined "Fat" Candy as another Rethug Shill!!!!!!!!!!!!

:puke:

Son of a Bi***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GD Nazi CNN!!!!!!!!!!

:argh:

:argh:

:mad: :mad: :mad:



:argh:

[dennis4868]

25. In case you dont know....

Begala is a close personal friend of Rove

:-(

[Media_Lies_Daily]

46. Erk...ack...bleah...uh...uhhh...uhhhh....

:puke:

That explains quite a bit, doesn't it?

[usscole]

11. The truth is . . .

most people see everything that happened last week as pure politics. Bush was hurt by Clarke's testimony, but it didn't create positive momentum for the Democrats. Kerry needs to articulate a clear foreign policy/terrorism plan that we can promote and debate.

[thebigidea]

19. what the hell did Clarke have to do with positive momentum for Dems?

it was about Bush's fuckups. Kerry was on vacation.

Despite the GOP's efforts to paint Clarke partisan, it won't wash.

[markses]

29. Clark is credible, the administration is not

That's clear as day.

[Media_Lies_Daily]

47. So, you believe the latest CNN polls?

[Oddman]

13. Of all the people I don't like on CNN

Candy Crowley is at the top of my list, right up there with Tucker Carlson and Robert Novak!!

"Don't say anything stupid or chimpy gets it!"

[DoYouEverWonder]

18. That's why she got to go for a plane ride with W

on 9-11. She is a devout Bu$hbot.

[MissMarple]

20. She acts like she has a crush on George, hopes he returns the sentiment.

Sometimes I think she and Nora O'Donnell are going to wet their panties, they get so gushy about George and Jeb. It's positively sick.

[moondust]

14. All the polling is done in Boobville, TX.

Where a vote has never been cast for a Democrat for anything.

[cal04]

16. What I'd like to know is

why haven't the dems gotten a Kenneth Starr yet to start investigations of all the allegations starting from day one of this administration? The Repubs wasted no time going after Clinton, so when are the Dems going to start doing their own, starting with Cheney and the Energy Plan.

[Puglover]

22. EXACTLY!!

All of the damn democrats majority or not should be on the steps of the capitol showing their support for the 9-11 commission requesting KindaSleezy to testify....
Oh no....Wolf is on next and he's just simmpering to read the positive poll numbers. Now that I won't watch.

[Jane Austin]

41. Uhh . . .

We don't control either house of Congress to call hearings and the Special Prosecutor law has expired.

[lichenorleaveit]

17. Use the force Luke

For the betterment and freedom of the people.

[Neecy]

21. I turned it off...

After I saw a breathless Schneider and Crowley reassuring an anxious public that the Clarke allegations aren't hurting Bush* one itty bitty bit.

My propaganda meter is already on overload, and with Crowley sitting in for even a shill like Woodruff I know better than to watch CNN this week.

Makes me proud that the Kerry supporters did their "Crowley Mash" with anti-CNN signs on Super Tuesday. Can't we just moor this woman somewhere? Lakehurst?

[kskiska]

34. Lakehurst! Oh! The humanity!

Don't forget, sweet Candy has a nickname from His Royal Hiney – Dulce.

[Neecy]

40. hee

Isn't that where all gassy Nazi blimps moor?

[Tom_Foolery]

24. Liberal Media...Where?

Well, I've been lurking among the threads; but now I've decided to join the fun. During the 2000 campaign, I never heard "B43" mention that the economy was going down the drain; but the second the election was stolen for him, all the talking heads started running the economy down. They did such a great job of convincing all of us that we were in dire straits; so when 911 happened, the downward spiral deepened even more. And where was "B43" from 1/21/01 to 9/11/01? On his grand school tour, of course. Lest we forget, he did run as the future "education president"...just like his daddy. What the Bush-kissers don't understand is that there is so much anger bubbling just below the surface; and when election day arrives, it will all explode in their faces.

[dennis4868]

27. There is alot of anger....

and many Dems in congress dont see it either, like Pelosi laughing it up with Bush at the Radio & TV dinner when Bush was making fun of not finding WMD. Many dems are mad. It is not about politics anymore. I wish it was. It is about getting criminal thugs out of the WH!

BY THE WAY, WELCOME TO DU

:-)

[Tom_Foolery]

38. Thanks!!

I found DU quite by accident, and what a pleasant accident it was. I'm happy to be among the many who can see "B43" for what he really is.

[Jane Austin]

42. Welcome, Tom Foolery!

[tkmorris]

28. Welcome Tom_Foolery

Don't lurk mate, jump right in. We don't bite (Well, they do in the Israel/Palestinian forum) :)

Welcome to DU! :hi:

[dennis4868]

31. I have been...

bitten once or twice there...ouch!

[WarNoMore]

32. Welcome to DU,

good points.

[tom_paine]

44. Welcome to DU, Tom_Foolery!

:toast: :toast:

[hang a left]

30. I can't believe you have got away with all those F-words

in your subject line. You must be Skinner's pet :->

[Puglover]

49. Actually I think Skinner thinks Im a pain in the ass

and whoops...I thought in general discussion things were more free wheeling....I really should read the whole rulebook one of these days.
:eyes:

[leftchick]

33. she is "I Love Candy" Crowely!!!...

VolcanoeJen taught me that today! Thanks Jen... :)

[PCIntern]

35. Listening to these orgasmic women on the 'Newschannels'

is beginning to get on my nerves as well. Gloria Borger has begun to be absolutely breathless in her elocution of the word...President.
It is sickmaking.



My mother, who's in her upper 80's and sharp beyond belief was called by CNN for a poll about 4 months ago. When the gal asked the first question, my mother asked her who put her up to asking 'have you stopped beating your wife yet' political questions, becuase it was one of those 'do you support your President in these troubled times', and then proceeded to tell her during a series of interrogatories, that she wasn't going to vote for Bush. No matter what. Then the woman kept pressing: if he did this or that, would you consider voting for Bush, and true to her word she kept saying that no matter what he did or didn't do, whe wasn't going to vote for him. Exasperated, the pollster said that my mother was being non-compliant and terminated the call. So when they don't get the answer they want, they press until they do - push polling, or they just hang up. TO paraphrase Franken: if you knew that while John McCain was doing 4 1/2 years in a prison camp and during that time Bush was doing 4 1/2 pounds of cocaine, whom would you be more likely to vote for?


Also, anybody read the NYT lead Op-Ed piece today? All these election commissioners, secretaries of state in several states are doing what that fugly creep K. Harris did and are co-chairs for Bush-Cheated 2004. Of course they mention a couple of Dems, but you
KNOW in your heart of hearts that if a Dem had a 'problem' like Harris did, the poor asshole would be lynched and every FBI agent in the country would descend upon the state and Candy Crowley would be trucked in with a double-wide to cover the story, with Wolfie riding shotgun.

[oasis]

36. Give 'em a few weeks to buy and read Clarke before it begins to set in.

Clarke has put Bush under a microscope and Condi has put herself in a box.

[ewagner]

37. Disconnect

Actually the poll trumpeted so loudly by CNN shows something rather promising.

True, Bush is shown ahead of Kerry but it is also true that support of Bushco's war on terra is down significantly. Further, Kerry has been on vacation and not pounding Buchco daily while Bush has been spending his campaign loot hammering Kerry everyday. BUT:

It shows that there is a disconnect between Kerry and Clarke.



This is a good thing because it takes away the RW talking points that Clarke is an operative of Kerry's. It also helps Kerry in the sense that he is not seen as politicizing the 9-11 investigations.

Kerry must campaign to fight the images Bushco is painting of him and stay as far away from Clarke as possible.

[Junkdrawer]

39. Having failed to discredit Clarke, they fall back to: "Joe Sixpack...

doesn't care, so you shouldn't either". It's their last line of defense.

[Lex]

43. It's just TOO early to tell the long-term effects

of Clarke's 9/11 commission testimony.

What most people have seen is stuff like Clarke's allegations on the ABC/CBS/NBC evening news shows, and on the Sun. morning shows.

Most people didn't watch the 9/11 hearing or the cable news stories.

I say it's still far too early for those stupid assholes to be talking about what the lasting effect on Smirky is.

[Iceburg]

50. Is it time to pull the plug on mainstream media (TV in particular)?

I quit buying newspapers 3 years ago. Oh, occassionally I pick up a rag when I run out of paper to start the fireplace.

I am now at that point with TV cable/satellite subscriptions ... Lately now a day passes where I question why I paying them (Rupert Murdock et al) $100 a month to bring this bullshit and propaganda into my home. Not to mentional the economic colateral damage done to my pocket book via the advertisements every 10 minutes.

Are we not fuelling the Bush machine with our subscriptions?
Do I really want Candy Crowley in my home every evening?
Is it time to pull the plug on this one-way media?
