Did anyone catch CNN's "Special Investigation" into Cell Phone Payola?
Edited on Fri Jan-13-06 08:25 PM by KoKo01
It was billed as "coming up on CNN" but I got sick of waiting through the "Propaganda" and tuned out.

BUT...they were saying they had an "EXCLUSIVE CNN REPORT" about Cell Phone Payola...and since I know that "America Blog" already featured that a couple of days ago ...I was sorry I missed it..

For those who saw it...what did they report? Was it fair and balanced?

Here's a link to "AMERICA BLOG" and my post about how General Wesley Clark's Cell Phone was given over to those who wanted to pay $89.95 to get his records of calls:

2. Wolf reported on it.
And his internet "investigative reporter" or whatever he called her took us through the steps of ordering the history of a cell phone and how damned easy it was. The report ended with the note that a federal judge in Atlanta issued some sort of stop order against three internet business that were selling the cell phone records.

CBS News also had a short blurb- they went into more details of the potential dangers- like under cover cops and informants being discovered.
