CNN Breaking: Alien abductions?
I kid you not, it's the next story up.

Wasn't CNN a news station once upon a time.

They keep getting lamer and lamer.

2. They've been running this continuously...
...since last night, as if its the biggest story ever.

I only half listened to it but I think some mainstream film director has come out as believing in abductions, so that must mean that they're real. I mean, if someone in Hollywood says something's true, then it must be.

13. Where are the Bat Boy stories?
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 02:27 PM by longship
CNN headlines: "Boy Locked in Refrigerator Eats Own Foot"

The tabloidization of a formerly good news network.

How about some Bermuda Triangle stories?
Crop Circles!! Crop Circles!!!
We need some ghost stories, too.

Oh, and one more thing: Bod Dole *IS* a space alien.

39. They already have that. Her name is Sylvia Brown.
She appears on "Larry King Live" (or as we like to call it in the Wrinkly household: "Larrikin Live" -- because he is one, albeit unintentionally).

If you would like to learn about this charlatan (Brown... King's sins are found elsewhere) please refer to The James Randi Educational Foundation.

CNN also features other charlatan, cynical, huckster frauds (e.g., John Edwards), which you will also find exposed on www.jref.com

14. Well duh! They've abducted the media.
You don't think Hannity and Colmes are humans do you? Only aliens could be so inhuman and calculated.

I mean, John Gibson human? Come on! Have you ever seen hair like that on a real person? He's from Uranus.

16. And don't forget "Whats Her Name"
I believe her to be a hybrid of Ferengi and Borg. One other addition to John Gibson, I believe Gannon/Guckert also came from Uranus. (must be a crowded planet) :shrug:

29. Well, I did not think it would be very interesting. However,
after watched the next day after saving I was pleasantly surprised.
The movie file is about UFOs not alien abduction.
You might be pleased with some of the speakers, as well.

23. Stop snickering and connect the dots yourself.
Testimony of Dr Carol Rosin

Aliens: It's the final scare, after the cold war and the terrorist scare. And it's all a fake.

I didn't know it's already that late.

24. So is this how they're going to explain it when people get hauled off
to the detention camps? That it is was an alien abduction and they don't know what the fuck happened to your mother, father, sister, brother, kid, friend, neighbor, lover? :scared:

... Just suppose it were for real. Then it would, indeed, be HUGE news.

30. WAIT, here Duers! I am disappointed
isn't anybody a little curious here?

got a link Tom?

I for one am interested and open-minded when it come
to any credible news story about aliens -

it may in fact be a stupid story, but how about
some genuine scientific curiosity?

Given the tone of CNN lately, I'm assuming it's simply rambling about Them Durned Furr'ners abducting white folk or something like that, but...

44. My theory: Its to distract from the Iraqi abductions going on right now.
Edited on Sat Jun-10-06 11:33 PM by brainshrub
Read BaghdadBurning:

http://www.riverbendblog.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_riverbendblog_archive.html#114954848489173468

According to people working and living in the area, around 15 police cars pulled up to the area and uniformed men began pulling civilians off the streets and from cars, throwing bags over their heads and herding them into the cars. Anyone who tried to object was either beaten or pulled into a car. The total number of people taken away is estimated to be around 50.

This has been happening all over Iraq- mysterious men from the Ministry of Interior rounding up civilians and taking them away. It just hasn’t happened with this many people at once. The disturbing thing is that the Iraqi Ministry of Interior has denied that it had anything to do with this latest mass detention (which is the new trend with them- why get tangled up with human rights organizations about mass detentions, torture and assassinations- just deny it happened!). That isn’t a good sign- it means these people will probably be discovered dead in a matter of days. We pray they’ll be returned alive…


In other words, if the corporate media hype up alien abduction stories then the public will think "aliens" rather than "Iraq" when the subject of abductions start hitting the news.

On the other hand, maybe my tinfoil hat is on too tight.

What do you think?
