:rofl:

[Kagemusha]

1. And justly so.

With the fear music and the fear font. Absolutely.

[Subdivisions]

2. Priceless. eom

[Missy M]

3. I'm still laughing

[sinkingfeeling]

4. It was beautiful. I couldn't believe that CNN spent an entire day with

that crap. So glad I don't watch the dribble on our cable news!

[Supersedeas]

29. you don't but sadly...many many do

[mrdmk]

5. And the media wonders why they are losing viewers n/t

:shrug:

[babylonsister]

6. Oh my stars! Leave it to Jon to expose their stupidity! nt

[gratuitous]

7. CNN, I am sooo ahead of you

{Clank!}

[regularguy]

8. They're attacking us with mice?

Oh man, that was funny as hell.

[LynzM]

9. Awesome....

I mean, I don't belong to the "it's all invented" group, but.... the fear-mongering is absurd.

[Cush]

10. Fear music, with the fear voice and fear font!

[Posteritatis]

14. "fear font" is where my poker face finished failing

"So what you're saying is that we're only vulnerable everywhere.."

[rocktivity]

11. Woot, I've been looking for this all day!

I now work in an office with a TV on CNN in the breakroom. I'm only in there long enough to make photocopies or tea, so I see it for only a few minutes at a time. Nonetheless, I was very put off the by Target USA coverage--wasn't the fact that a plane was diverted news enough? Either CNN was overreacting, or I was. Well, I got my answer--and vindication--when I watched The Daily Show last night. Talk about being just what the doctor ordered!

12. Jon Stewart single-handedly owned every major media outlet

in five minutes last night! How many other comedians can say that?

[LSK]

13. K&R

Target USA - :puke:

[patricia92243]

15. For those of us with dial-up, could we have a little summary? n/t

[Kolesar]

16. Clang, clang, clang

[MrCoffee]

17. What CNN is telling us is that we're only vulnerable...everywhere.

Tehehe.

[DarkTirade]

18. I want to bear his children.

I know that's not physically possible, what with me being a guy and all. But Jon Steward (*&%ing rocks.

[Nothing Without Hope]

19. The complement to this, by Larry Johnson: the REASON for all the

over the top fear-mongering from Bush enablers:

thread title (8/17/06): Larry Johnson-Bush&Blair Hyped Terror Threat-To Bury Sy Hersh's Iran Story

I'd add it's also to block awareness of the increasing chaos in Iraq. Let's hope the sheeple don't swallow it whole this time. These news networks have become positively Orwellian with their deliberate manipulation of the public with lies and fear- and hate-mongering. Horrible.

[Viva_La_Revolution]

20. KICK! cause I'm watching now

what a god-damn cluster fuck of spin!

and NO! I will not apologize for cussing this time!

[JackNewtown]

21. The video has been removed? nt

[intheflow]

22. I guess so.

I didn't see it, either. :(

[MelissaB]

25. Thank you!

:hi:

[Caretha]

26. It doesn't get any better

Jon Stewart doesn't have to look for material, they hand it to him on a silver platter.

[nashville_brook]

27. i want his job! actually, any job would be nice.

[Miss Chybil]

28. It was perfect! nt

[nosferaustin]

30. Nailed it!

Perfectly!

[rocktivity]

31. Thanks so much, Jon!
