#1 CNN, Caliph News Network. 24-7 DNC Dhimmi approved.

I used to somewhat like Wolf Blitzer, for a minute. The video with Mrs. Cheney made me puke. Lynn sure took this putz to the wood shed.

#2 But, this series will help get out the Dem vote and will encourage the insurgents in Iraq, the Iranian mullahs, China and North Korea to do as much damage as possible right now.

#3 The only people that are gonna be seeing this are going to vote for the dems anyway.

CNN has pissed off the right and many independents.

#4 At one time CNN had the cable news to itself. Today it badly trails FOX. It demonstrates the terminal behavior of institutions trying desperately for the 'good old days' ignoring the advice of 'when you're in a hole, quit digging'. Their management has chosen a niche market over the general market. It works in radio and as pathetic MSNBC is compared to both, it seems the strategy some are willing to dump money into.

#5 Pretty much. Some of us expats are lucky enough to get CNN International, which makes American CNN look like a bunch of flag-waving rednecks. The commercials are a stitch too, 80% of which attempt to lure us decadent kaffirs to the lush, tranquil paradises of Arabia, Qatar, and Malaysia. Hah. Waterboarding, schmaterboarding. I can barely take 30-40 seconds of that shit.

#6 CNN is serving a world market with a world brand. I'd bet CNN does not perceive its competition to be FOX, but the BBC and a-Jizz.

#7 Looks like Ted Turner finally decided which side of the war to be on. Not that anybody had any doubt (at least here) - he's been on their side since GW I when they gave up their integrety for access.

#8 Agreed. Which makes Blitzer's claim that "of COURSE we want the US to win" absurd on the face of it. CNN as an entity does NOT want us to win the war on terror, not under Bush and not definitively.

#9 "There are people who are wondering why this is being run so close to election day," says the CNN employee. "The questions have been asked, but we haven't gotten a satisfactory answer."

It's baffling, isn't it? I can't come up with a single hypothesis that would explain why CNN is running left-wing propaganda right before an election. Maybe it's just a coincidence!

#11 Slightly OT but Bank of America in my hometown has recently put two TVs inside where the tellers are. Guess what, both of them were tuned in to CNN. When I asked a vice president to switch the channel she said that corporate HQ dictated what channel was on the TV. What BS!

It kind of makes me wonder what Bank of Americas political affiliations are.

#13 Dreamsmith -

You got that right - in every BoA branch I have been to here in SC, they have, without exception, had the TVs tuned to Fox.

#14 TV at the bank is an excuse to have less tellers and longer lines.
They can keep it.

My company has large TVs showing our propaganda marketing messages with CNN running in a small window. CNN is a large customer of ours, so nixing that ain't gonna fly.
