God Help us all! CNN Has a "THIS WEEK AT WAR" Show Now!
Hosted by John Roberts now on CNN. Huge Graphics Lots of Loud Yelling into the microphone. A Large Calender zooming in on each day this week and what went on in which of OUR wars around the world on each day. Damn! This like something out of the penatgon. I have to turn.

1. Just Plain Shameless and Sociopathic
Edited on Sun Aug-13-06 12:11 PM by stepnw1f
We really are living in an Orwellian World. The Media is engaged in Desensitizing War Mongering. Warming America up to accepting such a vile thing. Sick and deliberate....

5. While we shouldn't be.... we ARE at war in Iraq!
Tell the families of all the soldiers that died and have been maimed in Iraq that we are not at war!

We are also at war in Afghanistan. To say that we're not doesn't address the problem and doesn't help out our troops.

7. CNN slowly but surely is trying to become Faux
because they see how high Faux's ratings are and they think if they add more graphics or nutjobs, their ratings can be that high too.

8. Well...over at MSNBC/GE they are saying Apolcalypse on August 22
when Iran will nuke us. :eyes: It's so awful over at MSRNC that CNN looks tame compared to that. But both of them have "jumped the shark" in the last month.

It's "PRAVDA" propaganda machine at the height of the old Soviet Union during the "Cold War." It's really disgusting and their display sure doesn't reflect the polling of the American people...so what's going on here? :shrug:

17. Fox ratings are NOT high, though. They are on a continual downslide.

15. I sure do wish Ted Turner would
get the funding together and buy CeeNoNews back so he can return it to the way it used to be, the way it was meant to be, the way he created it to be. No wonder he can hardly stand to watch it anymore!

That would be a war worth fighting.

18. I can't watch cable news anymore.
Edited on Sun Aug-13-06 01:18 PM by FearofFutility
I used to like Anderson Cooper, but the lead in music for his show and the guy who does the voice over sounds like a game show host or something. It's really bizarre and inappropriate.
