CNN: "OK, let's change the subject...QUICK."
Cleland and Rasmussen (?) just kick GOP butt all over the yard there.
The CNN bitch Jill something (Who IS she?) basically has to make the repug argument for them because see...THEY won't come out of their hidey-hole and face the music and then...whiz-bang...

Let's get into a REALLY extensive detailed discussion about two airplanes that went down somewhere in Russia that nobody on this side of the pond basically gives a ratzass about and GET AWAY FROM THIS SWIFT BOAT THING.

Nice try guys.
:grr:

2. You know

It's almost like CNN has gotten worse than Faux...Reason being...everyone knows Faux is beholden to the right and is owned by extreme rightist Ruppy Mooduch so they have to "work" to be objective.

CNN? Formerly owned by Liberal Ted Turner, thought to be "the trusted source" in news...Perfect front for a real devious propaganda campaign.

6. Exactamento!
If I watch Faux at all, it's purely for entertainment value.
It's kind of like the old freak show on the circus midway.
I don't feel real clean about it, but hey, I've never seen a three-headed goat before.

CNN used to be fairly objective.
Now it's almost like they still take a crack at it once in a while, but just can't q-u-i-t-e bring it off.

3. Waiting for the talking points
They are "filling" time waiting for Repug talking points to get under way.

CNN looks as shocked as the *'ies must be

4. CNN has Army press conf. on Abu Ghraib now
This one is important, but Fox is still on the Russian plane story.
