| CNN Comes To Cheyenne Frontier Days; Attendees Slam Cheney |
| 2022-08-01 |
| [By Jimmy Orr, Cowboy State Daily] For those who believe that CNN is a credible news organization, and according to polls that number is a minority (especially with Republican voters), the network came to Cheyenne Frontier Days over the weekend to do a news story on how Wyoming citizens regard U.S. Rep. Liz Cheney. In a highly publicized memo, the new president of CNN last spring said in light of the numerous scandals that have plagued the news organization, he wanted the focus of the network to be on credibility and put "journalism first." If the news segment of the CNN broadcast from the site of the largest outdoor rodeo in the world on Sunday was any indication, the network might be shifting toward a less manipulated form of journalism again. The network reported that most of the Wyoming respondents they interviewed did not have a high opinion of Cheney. The unscientific results of their interviews would appear to somewhat follow the scientific poll done earlier in July which shows Cheney has a 66% disapproval rating in addition to being behind challenger Harriet Hageman by a 52 — 30% margin. |

| #7 Send her as an ambassador to Papua New Guinea. They still have a lot of cannibals. |

| #5 ^ I think The View producers have a rule that none of the other hosts can be more insipid than Behar or Whoopie. |

| #3 /\ Her defeat at the polls appears eminent. I would fully support an ambassadorship to Malawi. |

| #2 Wyoming has no huge blue city to act as a platform for the 3am arrival of the needed ballots. Current polling suggests the number needed would put the vote total well past 1.5x the total number of voters in the state. |
