did anyone else catch miles o'brien mocking john kerry?
on american morning, they were discussing john kerry doing jury duty. in a really bad kerry impersonation, o'brien said kerry voted guilty before he voted not-guilty.

of course, no jokes were made about dubya's jury duty, who was the original object of the conversation.

it never ceases to amaze me how these so-called objective "journalists"
feel they can insult over half of the u.s. electorate. not to mention all the kerry voters watching their shows.

2. he also refers to Clinton supporters as "Clintonistas"
i don't remember the specific report. but he referred to those who sided or defended Clinton as "Clintonistas".

it has become so bad that even they consider it acceptable to do these things on air. just imagine how bad things are behind the scenes when they decide what and how to report.

3. Yep, too bad, Miles is really a nice guy
Carole is okay too, but Soledad must be a bad influence.

11. Kyra Phillips is the worst
gusher. LOL I do not remember Carole Costello doing that, but I was boycotting CNN for awhile, until Hurricane Katrina.

8. Yesterday Jack Cafferty was putting it to Kerry because he
said the soldiers are Americans or something like that. Judging from their turnaround this week, word must have come down from on high to get back to the party line. Maybe CNN is on the administration payroll with all those Iraqi news outlets.

9. I'm not sure if I can picture Jack being a "Puppet" for these guys.
I just cant imagine a suit telling him he is drifting off the party talking points...and him not blowing a gasket. But, none of these people suprise me

15. I would have thought people here would have applauded Miles...
After all Kerry is DLC, voted for the war, and could not beat the most inept President in history...

Oh wait...only Hillary gets that treatment...sorry ! :sarcasm:
