CNN scrubbing propaganda from its transcripts

[kittenpants]

A few days ago CNN anchor Krya Phillips commented on the Karl Rove investigation saying, "Obviously there is a smear campaign going on," after CNN showed clips of Kerry demanding that Rove be fired. Media Matters covered her inaccurate & inappropriate comment, but CNN has now eliminated Phillips' comment from their transcripts.

Hmm . . .

3. Please anyone who said that CNN has changed to a news organization

It is total bullshit

They obviously got a call from the RNC telling them to tow the line, and they are obeying

The prosecuter has the finally say, and people will fall when this is all over

CNN and all the other MSM whores better enjoy what they are doing now because in the next five years they will be left in the dust as we start to take the media back

4. The only reason to turn it on is if you want to know the propaganda

of the day.

5. That is what I depend on the people on DU to do for me

I can't stand it

Stephanie Miller and Al Frankin do a great job of demonstrating their distortons and lies

10. yeah

sometimes I'll have it on for a couple of minutes - but that's about it.

It can be a huge waste of time - watching the Mainstream Media just to say how stupid it is. I agree that it's nice to have people condense it down - just to have some idea.

There is lot of interesting stuff out there and it's easy to miss if you concentrate too hard on what the idiots (like the Kyra thing about the Rove "smear" campaign) are saying.
