1. cnn.netscape

it's all one big thing....

[cprise]

2. I rejoice

The essential slanted message is the same. But their new tendency to be so blunt is unmistakable. Seeing these frothing corporate aristocrats preparing to hang themselves is a thrill I won't soon forget.

Are there editors who actually approve this kind of ridiculous crap??

Losers Fall in Line Behind Party's Choice

Loser by loser, the candidates who wanted to be where John Kerry is now paraded across the stage for the last rites of defeat.

11. done.

the bastards

[cprise]

13. You're kidding, right?

The more average people complain, the more proof they have to offer shareholders that their interests are being looked-after.

There is no regulation, therefore they have nothing approximating a conscience.

Even if they try to heed your complaint, it will only remove some of the harshness; it won't address the message of the article itself.

[redqueen]

14. No, I'm not

sitting back and taking it is not an option anymore.

[cprise]

18. It is not constructive

Consider who you are complaining to: Fascists with an agenda. They love to hear you squeal because it proves they've got your attention and they're not just preaching to the choir.

Please talk to friends about the good alternatives. And there are media-reform groups that you can find on the web.

23. I'm not that paranoid

I'm complaining to many people. Administrators, executives, etc.

Some of them might even be impartial.

[cprise]

24. No silly me, I forgot...

Todays media conglomerates like to avoid political manipulation. :eyes: I suggest you read up on the recent history of the FCC.

The last time a media executive insisted on fairness and a focus on important issues, he was handily dispensed with. And his name is Ted Turner.

There is nothing you can write in a letter to convince them to be fair. Nothing! 'Fair' to them is what they can legally get away with.

10. IF JK gets in, I want them SHUT DOWN!!!!!

Silence these NAZIS!!!

:grr:

[cprise]

15. The frothing spreads...

[THUNDER HANDS]

16. how ironic

[Journeyman]

19. Yeah. Let's set some limits to freedom. . .

12. CNN International

presents a completely different picture, as usual:

Democrats look to rising young stars

Clockwise from top left: Senate candidate Barack Obama, Gov. Tom Vilsack, Rep. Artur Davis and Rep. Stephanie Herseth.

(CNN) -- Set to address his party's convention Wednesday night, vice presidential candidate John Edwards is perhaps the best-known of the Democrats' rising stars.

But the Democratic National Committee has been paying attention lately to other promising politicos. Among the party's leading lights mentioned by political observers are the son of an African, a governor born as an orphan, a former federal prosecutor and a member of a South Dakota political dynasty. (Special Report: America Votes 2004, the Democratic convention; Carlos Watson: What's at stake Wednesday)

The backgrounds of these newcomers aren't nearly as familiar as Edwards' rise from a textile worker's son to a successful trial lawyer and freshman senator from North Carolina. But these Democrats may soon be appearing on radar screens around the country.
