CNN in FULL on Whore Mode tonight!
I have it on, with the sound off, to see how much they are going to milk the Red Lake Shooting tonight. But, instead, Larry King is doing, what looks to be, a FULL Hour with the Author of "The Purpose Driven Life," relating it to the Atlanta Shooting/Hostage release thing AGAIN.

But I guess that was WAY TO Close to actual News, I looked over, and they had slid a 3/4 screen Box next to the guy of Terri the Veg. :puke:

Would someone out there, with a few Billion Dollars, please buy the controlling share of CNN!:argh:

I heard yesterday the AOL stock lost 200 Billion Dollars of value after that terrible deal:evilgrin:

2. George Soros recently
Bought a whole shitload of AOL-Time Warner CNN stock.

I hope he's up to no good.

7. The same George Soros who was gonna unleash MILLIONS...
..against the Chimp?

Yeah, he's up to no good, I'll bet.
I think it's called "Amassing Wealth"

As a percentage of Net Worth, I'm willing to bet *I* threw more bling-bling into Kerry's campaign than Soros did.

3. CNN is nothing but propaganda for the right wing. I do not watch
Fox, but at least there they don't pretend to be anything but right wing. CNN thinks they are fooling us. It is nothing but trash now. I can't watch them at all.

4. I don't turn them on
Can't stand what has become of a once great network. I feel like I don't want to give them the click on their numbers meter. Besides it just makes me angry to watch their programing.

8. No news media outside Minnesota will cover the Red Lake shootings
even though it was almost as bad as Columbine. But those people were only Indians -- and since white, middle class people didn't get killed nobody cares. Just like there was hardly any coverage of Sun Hudson, who was removed from life support against his (poor, black) mother's wishes. They were too busy whoring themselves over white, middle class Terri Schiavo.

10. CNN did cover the Red Lake Shooting, All Day, actually...
...I was starting to think they were gonna over do it and hold an All Night Vigil or something, But I guess someone noticed that they had slipped out out RW Media Whore mode, so they put Larry King's piece of crap show on, and there ya have it.

9. Web page is no better
cnn.com used to be my favorite source of news on the web. But the past couple of months it's gotten really bad. Recent headlines have been like, "Iraq War was a Great Idea After Al!", "Bankruptcy Reform Bill Passes, Credit Card Companies Finally Get Economic Relief". And on and on! :grr:

What happened to CNN? :shrug:
