Has anyone else noticed that CNN

[Call me Deacon Blues]

has been running the Space Shuttle's launch as its lead story for the last two days? You can run, but you can't hide, folks. We're on to your game. Hell, even Fox is running a picture of KKKarl on their front page. Typical of CNN -- too little, too late. They can't even be Fox Lite right.

1. When you're on Fox News, all I can say is ...

... "You're hot Karl, baby, you're hot!"

2. I stopped watching Faux and CNN

Only time I visit their sites is when fellow DUers that can stomach these sites post a link

7. Ditto. All lies all the time.

I don't have the stomach or nerves for it, as it makes me violently angry and sick to death watching the destruction of law and order and the death of our nation being aided and abetted by network news (all channels) 24/7.

Every single person who participates in network news is complicit: in 9/11, in all the horrible death and destruction in Iraq, and in the countless suffering of people all over the world that has resulted from their proactive participation in the agenda of the fascist right wing criminals who are now in power in our government.

It wasn't enough to shock them out of their self-serving, greedy, heartlessness to see people jumping out of the World Trade Center windows and falling to their deaths?

How they can live their lives, eat, sleep, play with their kids, make love, laugh, do anything without feeling the weight of all the death and destruction that they have actively helped create, I just can't imagine. But I won't watch, I won't participate in their crimes by watching them. All who have remained associated with those "news" networks have to be sociopaths, psychopaths, or otherwise seriously psychologically and morally deformed.

3. A New 24 Hr News Channel:

CBS Revamps News Web Siteas a 24-hour news platform, including streaming
A WALL STREET JOURNAL ONLINE NEWS ROUNDUP


Viacom Inc.'s CBS plans to reposition its CBSNews.com site as a 24-hour news platform, including streaming video of CBS news programming and other submissions from correspondents. As part of the effort, CBS News will move from a mainly television and radio news-based operation to a 24-hour, on-demand news service, available across many platforms, the network announced Tuesday. CBS executives said they are deliberately bypassing cable television to focus on high-speed Internet users.

"It's increasingly clear that the future of CBS News is not just as a practitioner of broadcast journalism but of broadband journalism,'' CBS News President Andrew Heyward said. The advertiser-supported Web site will give consumers free access to more than 25,000 video clips. CBS journalists will be encouraged to frequently contribute video reports to the site instead of simply waiting for the next television broadcast. CBS Evening News anchor Bob Schieffer will host a daily online version of his TV broadcast.

CBSNews.com will also introduce a blog called "Public Eye," where CBS News executives and journalists respond to questions and complaints from the public. The blog will be edited by media writer Vaughn Ververs, most recently editor of The Hotline, a daily Web briefing on politics published by the National Journal. CBS also said its redesigned site will feature an on-page video player, dubbed "The EyeBox," which allows viewers to build their own newscast from exclusive Web video, material already broadcast on the network and archival material.

CBS hopes the redesign can also help attract more young people to its news product. Television news viewers tend to skew old, and CBS generally has the oldest audience. CBS News is also still seeking a new format and replacement for Dan Rather on its struggling flagship broadcast, the ``CBS Evening News.''

"This major expansion of CBSNews.com is designed to capture an audience that is increasingly looking for news and information at all times of the day, not just during scheduled periods, and using the Internet for that purpose," said Larry Kramer, president of CBS Digital Media, in a statement. As part of the change, CBS said that Betsy Morgan, vice president of business development for CBS News, will become senior vice president and general manager of the new CBSNews.com.

5. Turn it off, its nothing but garbage

Complete waste of time.

6. The launch of the Discovery space shuttle

is a big story in Florida (and I would presume the whole country.) CNN has a large news & camera crew in Cape Canaveral and I thank them for their extensive coverage. CNN has also given a lot of coverage to Plamegate thanks to John King. But no thanks to Kira (smear) Phillips! And my blood pressure goes up when I hear Wolf Blitzer spit out RNC talking points!

8. Wolff gave Melman a pretty hard time tonight.

I admit I was a bit surprised, but he didn't let Kenny get away with continuously trying to change the subject to Dem slams. Wolff kept pushing, but Kenny wouldn't go beyond "I can't and won't talk about an ongoing investigation."

CNN seens to be changing a bit, at least in the last few days. They're jumping into the Rove story with both feet.

10. Have you read this? CNN has already changed the transcripts of

Kyra Phillips stating that Rove was being smeared by the democrats...I can't believe they did this. Isn't it illegal?
