CNN reporters get their news from Drudge and Page6

[KelleyKramer]

This is from Janeane Garofalo when they were at the convention... Talking to a person from CNN they found out that most of the reporters at CNN check on Drudge and Page6 for their info and talking points.

This seems to have been missed by everyone, and in view of CNN's blatantly biased coverage of Kerry and the Dems in general lately.. it should be significant.

Finding proof of that from the Fox news reporters and staff would still be a little surprising, but CNN reporters checking Drudge for 'news' just confirms the whole right wing turn of that network.

So this is confirmation, its not just the owners, managers and producers.. CNN is wingnut garbage from the top to bottom.

Mark my words, CNN's ratings will go right down the toilet just like MSNBC when they went totally right wing.

1. My goodness. This is exactly the same system that the

right-wing conspirators used during the Clinton years. They got out and spread rumours until it made it into Drudge. From there it would filter into the mainstream.

So, we live in a superpower nation, in the greatest democratic society that man can construct, and our newspaper people resort to an online message board for their information?

OMIGOD!

4. RW echo chamber

Like David Brock said, they funnel news up from the bottom.

This is just confirmation that its at the heart of your cable news.

2. Fox gets it from drudge also and they admit it

a lot of times they report based on drudge and say it's drudge. they do the same with newsmax. but it's another example of fox pretty much being right wing and everyone knowing it. i don't get too worried anymore when they do biased stories since i think most blow them off as a right wing mouth piece.

but this is why cnn is worse, they are more credible with people. the moderate swing voters who will not take fox seriously would probably take cnn more seriously .
