CNN is driving me CRAZY!
An airport somewhere is evacuated because a bomb-sniffing dog supposedly smelled bomb materials in a bottle of water.

And now they're say Joe Lieberman is out front of opponents.

I'm going to go stark raving mad before the day is over.

20. Yes, you can. I quit watching TV more than 20 years ago...
and I haven't missed a thing. Just walk away from it. You'll like yourself much better, I promise.

3. Isn't it odd how quick that was?
Lieberman was behind for so long, yet after he and his crew pretty much accused the voters of being traitors to America, his points popped back up. It's as if they're saying we enjoy the abuse!

6. Why torture yourself. Just turn it off. It lives off of ratings, and you
are merely feeding the beast. That rant aside, I must admit to flipping through the channels while getting ready in the morning, and annoying the piss out of myself occasionally.

Some lady going to Charlotte, NC intended to blow up the plane and kill herself with a fucking bottle of water.

10. Change the channel. TV Land is a good one.
There's likely a rerun of I Love Lucy or The Andy Griffith Show on. Both are soothing and calming to the nerves.

11. CNN is always on in the company break room
Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 02:05 PM by rocknation
I'm only in there long enough to make copies and tea, but all I'm seeing is the JonBenet suspect. However, they did mention the striking down of the illegal NSA wiretapping case--the news is that an appeal is being planned, not that it happened.

:headbang:

12. CNN needs to take a deep breath.
And give some thought to where they will stand politically. I really don`t even care if they lean left. If they would just report the news in an even-handed way. Just report honestly on news-worthy events. Surely, in a country this big, there has to be NEWS going on that we would all be interested in. Instead they keep harping on blond females.

Edited on Thu Aug-17-06 01:58 PM by Texas Explorer
you said "harping on blond females". Doesn't sound quite right to me.

However, I agree with the rest of your comment.

On edit: to correct quote

16. Keep Watching....
They must be doing something right if you continue to watch them All Afternoon Long.

Way to help their ratings, so they continue such fine reporting.

17. Complete this contact form. Tell them what a load of crap they
have become and that you're turning them off because they are just another yellow rag.
