CNN is so fucked up - Natalee Holloway coverage
i don't give a shit about the coverage in general but they keep saying the following: "Aruba's laws are different than ours in the fact that someone can be arrested and held for long periods of time without a trial...."

ummmmm excuse me CNN but.....

YOUR pResident gave himself the power to do that HERE too! or have you already forgotten :eyes:

1. In our country
that only applies if you follow Islam and have brown skin.

3. And CNN can't figure out why their ratings are dropping...
Ahem...it's coverage like this, and innacurate reporting in general that are responsible. Add to that nit-wit anchors like Soledad O'Brien, Miles O'Brien, Wolf Blitzer, and viola! a recipe for failure.

CNN was much better when Ted Turner owned it.

5. I just changed the channel while thinking
about how they just won't let this pretty blonde white girl go. They continue to milk the story for every advertising cent possible.

7. The Blond Girl is BACK to distract the Sheep
So what if dozens of "troops" and hundreds of Iraqi Children are being killed weekly

this story is far more important

8. But Natalee was so-o-o-o-o cute
And she was a naughty girl, wasn't she?

A wet dream will always get more attention than a political nightmare.
