OMG! CNN is ACTUALLY Covering the D.C. Protests this weekend

[berni_mccoy]

Did I suddenly wake back up in the pre-Bush reality?

They are actually interviewing extremely articulate protesters!!!!

:wow:

[lonestarnot]

1. Right on!

Do it people!

[halobeam]

2. Let's see if there is equal time.

If there is, then I will give them credit. Forgive me, but I don't trust them.

[berni_mccoy]

4. I don't trust them either... but when I saw this on CNN my jaw just hit the floor...

Had to post it.

6. I know! I experienced the same. Just turned it on a while

ago.

3. Just trying desperately to cover their asses

after 6 years spent turd polishing for the failure in the White House and his neocon puppet string pullers.

5. Bet you a buck the Paris Hilton stolen storage contents coverage

will FAR exceed the protest coverage. Any takers???

[helderheid]

7. I know they are doing their job when they do this and debunk FOX slander, BUT...

I think we should still let them know it pleases us! Just listen out for anti-protest protesters being called "patriotic" - I'll try to hold back my cynicism!

9. did Chimp get a blowjob recently?

13. ROTFLOL

:rofl:

:spray: you owe me a keyboard.

[rman]

10. Six years late

Just covering their asses.
But i suppose any publicity is good publicity.

[berni_mccoy]

14. Damn straight rman

It is way too late for CNN to redeem themselves... but I'll take it.

Right now they are actually covering the WAR! The story is how the Administration isn't responding to the changes in tactics by the insurgents and saying there is suspicion of INSIDE JOBS!!!

11. Just announced live report coming up.

I think they said at 11:00 a.m. Eastern.

12. Blitzer and Cafferty brought that up yesterday...

BLITZER: You know, there's going to be a major demonstration, anti-war demonstration, here in Washington tomorrow, including some movie stars, politicians, others.

When all is said and done, though, do you think that is going to make much of a difference?

CAFFERTY: Probably not.

But I remember, during Vietnam, that it wasn't until the people began to take to the streets, as it were, and -- and do some demonstrating and protesting, that it seemed to -- to start registering with the people who were orchestrating the -- the war in Washington, D.C.

There are also some active-duty members of the military that are supposed to show up for this thing tomorrow.

Is it going to make a difference? Probably not. It will -- part of it will depend on how much coverage it gets from the media, I suppose, and whether the story gets legs through the weekend or not.

BLITZER: It will get some coverage, I'm sure.

[berni_mccoy]

15. MORE LIVE COVERAGE NOW!!!

amazing.

[berni_mccoy]

16. Saying THOUSANDS have already gathered, expected to grow

VERY TO VERY LARGE NUMBERS!!!!

[tinfoilinfor2005]

18. Huh?

He just said that there wasn't much of a crowd yet, maybe it would grow. He seemed pretty smug as he announced that last week's pro life rally was bigger.

Turn to live CSpan. Continuous coverage on now.

[bdamomma]

17. It is on C Span too

Yes, let us support those who are there.

[PDittie]

20. Much better coverage, too.

No commercials, no sly freeper commentary...

[mucifer]

19. Top story on CNN's beginning of the hour newsblurb on the radio

and it wasn't negative. VERY WEIRD.
