I'm writing CNN and then I'm writing Anderson Cooper!

[fooj]

Who is with me? This is bullshit! It's obvious that he had the story ready to go! WTF?

This is horseshit! It's time we hold the media, as well as the politicians accountable for their actions.

Permit me to share something I posted earlier...

I am sick to death of the RW's sanctimonious bullshit...the lying rat bastards can rot in hell as far as I'm concerned. They have put every American in jeorpardy by their devisive, partisan manipulations and I've had just about enough. They (all repubs, politicians and media) must shoulder the responsiblity of sitting back, doing nothing, and silently watching as their party sells out to the imposters that run OUR HOUSE. They are not fit to call themselves Americans, IMO. This isn't just about the politicians in DC. This is about Americans who aid and abet these evil, maniacal monsters and I don't believe that their participation in all of this madness should bear no consequence. Actions have consequences. Every spineless repub in this country owns this bullshit. That's right. Ownership. They own this evil. Treasonous traitors!

The WH is OUR HOUSE! It does not belong to those imposters!
If Shrub is doing business in Crawford...he is doing the PEOPLE'S business! We, the people. No PRIVATE PROPERTY allowed! The "Western" WH is OUR HOUSE! Stupid bastard!

I don't give a rat's ass about what my dreams mean. If I end up dead, what the hell does it matter?

Peace.

[flakey_foont]

1. Please elaborate

what happened with Anderson Cooper?

[shraby]

2. He didn't cover Cindy Sheehan. I wrote to them too.

[brettdale]

38. so he didnt cover cindy?

What did he show instead?

[fooj]

43. Dream interpretations. Some escaped criminal. Who cares?

Shit. We've got criminals running free and at large all over this country. Politicians. Media. They'd steal our souls if we let them.

Peace.

[Ilsa]

91. Oh man. I hate that. I had to turn it off and leave before it was

over, but I was hoping they'd at least have the guts to show it instead of that ridiculous dream interpretation segment, which means nothing out of context anyway.

[wtmusic]

81. A rerun from 2003

[fooj]

3. Check out his website!

http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/anderson.cooper.360 /

Peace.

[cry baby]

4. EXCUSE ME FOR YELLING, BUT I'M SO DAMN MAD!

perfect example of our "librul media".

[fooj]

8. NO APOLOGIES NECESSARY! I am pissed!

These fucking media whores must be held accountable for their BULLSHIT! I've got a NEWSFLASH for those losers! The President serves at the pleasure of the American people...it's not the other way around! These SOB'S are ethicaklly and morally bankrupt! The press should be trusted as the guardians of TRUTH! They have helped to create all of this madness! They make me sick!

[lonestarnot]

72. I haven't seen the show, but did he advertise on his website and then not

cover any of what he put forth as being a story for tonight? And if so isn't that false advertising?

[jenmito]

89. Not only that...

But I saw a teaser near the beginning of the show and then another and then they just stopped mentioning it, teasing other stories. I thought I missed it since I was watching Hardball with David Gregory, but now I know they never played it! :mad:

[cry baby]

96. What do you make of that, lonestarnot?

*scratching head*

[lonestarnot]

98. I wrote them a stinging email re false advertisement!

[flakey_foont]

6. Thanks

[lonestarnot]

73. emailed! bastard!

[babylonsister]

5. Good idea, fooj, and nominated! I share your

anger! :grr:

[fooj]

10. Sister- I'm so angry I'm shaking!

I am tired of these bastards screwing the American people every chance that they get! Do not tell me that this is not a fascist govt! DO NOT TELL ME THAT! Don't tell me not to reference Nazi's, either!(I don't mean you, personally) I'll do as I please as long as I have the ability to do it! If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck...it's a fucking duck. Period

Peace.

[cbear70]

13. me too.

I emailed Cnn as well... I am really pissed at the lack of coverage.

[fooj]

20. Welcome to DU, cbear70! It's been a long, tough road.

Peace.

[AnnInLa]

7. I'll write too....kick

please keep kicked so many DUers will write in expressing their displeasure.

[shaniqua6392]

9. I knew he would chicken out

he must have gotten a fax from Karl Rove telling him to think again about showing that story!!! I am emailing him right now!!!

[fooj]

12. Thanks. Enough is enough! I'm going to send him in one of MY dreams...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA!

[Bumblebee]

22. Probably his superiors, not Anderson himself

Something IS going on. Olbermann is behaving tamed as well. They are probably afraid of losing their sources at the WH (similarly to Putin telling ABC to get lost because of their Chechen story) or worse.

[fooj]

37. I see what you are saying, however, there comes a time in ones life

when they must stand for something or they stand for nothing!

Peace.

[Suich]

11. I sent email to Cooper also!

:grr:

[fooj]

14. Thanks. Enough already!

Peace.

[Generic Other]

15. Now he's talking about dreams!! Hope he gets nightmares!!

These people are pathetic. I'm writing Little Lord Fauntleroy too.

[Synnical]

16. And the show ends with a Dream Interpreter?

As if that's credible!

GRRRRR

[fooj]

17. I am in a fit of rage!

:grr: :grr:

[Eloriel]

18. Yeah, and the hype caused me to have his show on the whole hour

I would NEVER have watched him otherwise. Never.

[shaniqua6392]

23. funny

That is what I said in the email I just sent him!!! I said I had never seen his show and thought I would give it a try because I saw on CNN.com that he was going to actually show some real news! I was very interested in the story of Cindy Sheehan and that is why I tuned in. I told him he has no integrity with my family. To falsely advertise a promo using that "poor woman's" story just to get viewers was unforgivable....etc..etc.
Goofy looking b**tard anyway!!!

[Avalux]

19. I'm with you fooj.

This is inexcusable...Cindy and Camp Casey replaced by an hour full of shit. I think we all know what happened here; corporate media got the word and yanked the story.

This is what we're fighting against...how do we EVER win???

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

21. It looks like Olbermann is blacking out Cindy, AGAIN!!!! n/t

[babylonsister]

25. The BFEE appears to be omnipotent. nt

[shaniqua6392]

28. I feel like

throwing my television sets onto the front lawn. They are about as useless as that ice cream maker I have in my basement. Dear God: Please help us now!!!! And I mean now!!!

[fooj]

30. They work for us!!! Every bastard that supports this group of thugs

should be held accountable for their willing compliance! They should ALL be labeled TRAITORS!

Peace.

[understandinglife]

24. My email, 1809 PDT:

You and your corporate media bosses made a very big mistake advertising -- "Wednesday’s show -- A dead soldier’s mother is protesting at the president’s ranch. Who was her son? How did he die? What she wants from the president. Tune in at 7 p.m. ET."

We've got the screen shots; just as we have them from the evening of Nov 2, 2004 and the early morning of Nov 3, 2004.

You did something truly cowardly while a brave American, grieving mother stands in a ditch trying to save lives and stop Bush's illegal war on Iraq.

Big screw-up. Real big.

Peace.

[fooj]

26. Thank you, UL! Thank you! I am in tears!

:cry:

[i miss america]

59. Hey fooj, hang in there.

Remember the old saying, it's darkest before the dawn. I bet Anderson isn't all that pleased his story got yanked either. Take comfort in the fact that he comes from a very powerful family.

I am confident that the shit will hit the fan in a big way for this regime in the coming weeks. Hang in there.

:patriot:

[fooj]

64. I MISS AMERICA, TOO!!!

Thanks for the positive words...I'm doing my best. This just really hit me hard. Your "good vibes" help alot!

Peace.:hug:

[i miss america]

74. Believe me, I share your sense of outrage and disgust

but I also believe Anderson will work behind the scenes in a discreet fashion and help us pull down this regime. I'm sure he doesn't like the bullying tactics or censorship either.

:hug:

[fooj]

87. I hope you're right.

Check out the response I got from him towards the end of this thread.

Peace.

[AnnInLa]

27. Well, it's crystal clear now....organized effort by MSM

not to cover Cindy. Weeks and weeks of KO covering the election fraud in Ohio, and now, nothing on Cindy?

This can't be coincidence, and believe me, I am not one of the conspiracy theorists.

I love KO, but he gets 3 emails a day from me from now on. (I have 3 different email addresses.) I will flatter him, praise him...and ask him to cover Cindy's story.

My god, it's such a big story on the internet, how can the MSM not cover it? Pretty soon, they will HAVE to...it'll get too big.

[Mr_Spock]

29. Cable "news" is avoiding this story WITH MALICE for soem reason

It's incredible - one of the biggest stories of the year and they're talking about piddley little jerk-off stories - thanks for reminding me why I dont' watch cable news any more...

[fooj]

31. Write them and tell them again, Mr. Spock! Please.

Peace.

[flyarm]

45. i am furious as well!! those sob's!!

so take it local..go local..i put a huge sign on my house..2 signs one covers one side of the house..so a local newspaper stopped yesterday and asked if they could come take pictures today..i said yes..and the reporter was here for 3 hours interviewing me today for an article to be in the paper next wednesday..go local people..i had all kinds of bumper stickers on my car in driveway..they even took pictures of the car..go for it..be our own media..i live on a vacation island..a summer island and my signs are getting honks all day..

then the reporter got an earfull from me today...

we must all become the news that wasn't!

i even had a cop friend stop by saying he loved my sign, and said he would watch out to make sure no assholes cause any trouble!

a lot of towns have sign restrictions , but thats the ones you put in the lawn..they are lawn sign restrictions..soooooooooo beat them at their own game..put the sign across your home!!

i have gotten one yeller with a FU..but the rest have been honks of support!

[fooj]

48. Thanks for always being around to lend a hand...

:pals:

[fooj]

49. I'm about 2 seconds away from going to Crawford!

:grr:

[flyarm]

67. can i hitchike with ya??...n/t

[shaniqua6392]

32. what are we supposed to watch anymore??

Televisions are almost worthless any more

[Bumblebee]

33. Jon Stewart.

[fooj]

35. If he doesn't cover this tonight I think I'll explode!

Peace.

[fooj]

34. Welcome to DU! I know that it is frustrating. Get news from the web!

Peace.

[w8liftinglady]

50. CSPAN in the mornings is pretty good.

I love the call-in show.It appears pretty balanced.

[fooj]

60. Maybe we should call and spread the word!

The media no longer feels it is their job to report REAL news!

Peace.

[merh]

36. I share your rage fooj and I have your back!

I'll send the putrid excuse for a journalist an email alright and I will tell him that he better start paying attention to the real nightmare - the state our nation is in when the corporate media whores does the bidding of the criminals that have taken over OUR HOUSE. This is our nation and the White House and the Western White House belong to us, as long as that coward does our business from it.

The corporate media whores will need dream interpreters alright, they need to hire them to tell them what the hell is really going on in this nation given the fact that they close their eyes to the true nightmare, the real nightmare. The perverse distortion and corruption of our nation and they are complicit. :argh:

[fooj]

39. What kind of message does this send the troops?

The corporate shills don't give a damn about their sacrifice or their deaths! How does that sound as a headline?

I've snapped. I'm telling you. I've lost it.

Peace.

[merh]

42. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!

Does that sound familiar?

We need to write the media whores and bombard them. The ridiculous nature of the coverage that pre-empted any coverage of Cindy Sheehan is perfect fodder, rub it in their faces that they waste the public's time reporting on dreams when the real nightmare, the destruction of our nation, the death of our soldiers, the grief of the families is ignored. 36 of our soldiers have died in one week, while the weed-n-chief vacations at the house he named "the Western White House". Our tax dollars went to refurbish that place, to make it a secure residence. Our tax dollars are paying for his vacation. He is OUR president, he works for us. He is not a king or a god. He is our civil servant, our employee and damn it, it is time he realize it and the corporate media whores realize it.

[flyarm]

51. sounds familiar to me merh!! lol...i lost it last week...and you had

my back..when people were more interested in my caps than what i was mad at..how many times do we have to loose it..how many times do these sob's get away with literally murder??
i am sick to tears of the murder in my name..in our name..i can not take it much longer..the apathy in this nation is disgusting..but the media hold the blood in their hands..its the media that is responsible for this cabal in our white house..
if i ever walked into any of these media types in the street , i would spit on the ground in front of them..without hesitation!!

so fooj, and merh..get mad, stay mad..its going to take all of us getting mad as hell that we are not going to take it anymore!

i've got your backs!
fly

[fooj]

54. I'm mad, alright. I'm afraid I'm beyond mad!

Peace.

[flyarm]

62. you go gal!!!!!!!!!!!

but take that mad and do something...go out and hand out papers talking about cindy at the grocery store or at the book store, or just about anywhere!

lets mobilize our anger..get a sign up at your house..a friend of mine is getting together a group to stand on street corners in fla.and handing out flyers..about cindy...about our troops..about the murder being perpetrated in our name...lets mobilize..many can not get to crawford , but we have mouths , we have knowledge..we have anger..lets use it!

[merh]

63. We just need to stay on them - on the media - we pay their

salaries too, they work for us, the public.

I agree with you, we need to stay mad and determined. It is up to us to reclaim our nation! Thanks for watching my back, I've still got yours. :hug:

[merh]

79. kick

:kick:

[City Lights]

40. I just emailed him too.

It wouldn't surprise me if the networks start covering the activities around Compound W only after the pro-war crowd shows up. :mad: :grr:

[Bumblebee]

46. They are scared. You cannot expect them to go from lapdogs

to tigers in one swoop. They take a couple of baby steps and then hastily retreat. This one is huge, it gets under B's skin big time. He needs to be in low 20s in his poll numbers for much of cable to touch this one in a meaningful way. And yet there is so much interest in that story -- just look at the letters in today's NYT, and it wasn't even a front page story there! The story is not going away; AP is reporting more on it this afternoon but the cable is in disarray hunting after tabloid stories to incease their viewship (The Nancy Grace effect) and shaking in their boots that Rove will make their lives miserable. Remember all that if and when Rove is wounded, B's numbers tank even more, and, voala, we have a free press again which has a backbone. Don't believe it for a moment -- it's only when they think it's safe.

[fooj]

52. Baby steps? This crap has been going on for years now.

When the American Public is through with them they'll wish they had Rove to contend with!

Peace.

[flyarm]

56. no ..its coming from the top down...

its coming from the right blasting nasty at the media while we stay nice and polite...we have to take the gloves off..we have to get mad as hell..we have to get outraged...

because corporate media is telling these tv entertainers(!) that they will cut the mic's and go to black if they do a story not approved!
its about getting fired and being blackballed ..
but we honestly have to take the gloves off and go ballastic..we have to get as nasty as the repugs back..

[flyarm]

58. ohhh and we need to shut them down..turn your tv's off! n/t

[fooj]

61. I'm watching baseball.

I've given up on the bastards for now. I need about a 30 minute breather or I'll explode!

Peace.

[flyarm]

65. ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh well the good thing is...

* no longer gets money from baseball!!

take a breater..you deserve it!

then come back and lets light fires!

[fooj]

66. Will do!

Peace.

[Bumblebee]

68. Yes, it's not Cooper; someone is talking to his bosses

and making themselves heard. They are probably spreading lies about Cindy. It will turn out that Cindy killed her own son, just wait. They are thugs and they are good at that. Sometimes I do think it's hopeless :-( but then there is another ray of hope, and it starts all over again. That's life.

[City Lights]

69. Well if you think they'll come around, by all means, keep watching.

**'s numbers shouldn't have to sink further before they learn to walk without holding on. I'm sick of waiting around for them to do their jobs. If they had any guts, one of them would stage a walk-out and stand with Cindy until the gag order is lifted. Fuck America's media. They ignore this story at their own peril.

[Bumblebee]

70. Ray of hope is not with the media

and I actually stopped watching 99% of it a long time ago. I believe we should boycott CNN and MSNBC as a matter of fact, not watch it at all, even if that means they will go under and there is only FOX left. Wouldn't be all that different anyway.

[City Lights]

75. Agreed. I stopped watching too, but was lured back in by CNN's teaser.

:grr:

There is one show I watch faithfully - The Daily Show. I tune in to Countdown sporadically, mainly due to the fact that it comes on at 5:00 here, and I'm usually trying to put food on my family during his show. ;-) I try to catch the rerun later in the evening, but only after reading DU's reviews to determine if it's worth my time to tune in.

I'm so pissed at Rick Kaplan right now I think I'd spit nails at him if I ran into him on the streets. If CNN and MSNBC fold under the weight of their own stupidity, so be it.

[Bumblebee]

80. Had I been at home at the time, I would have turned it on too

esp. since the early reports were he was going to do it from Crawford and the whole show was going to be about that. So I don't blame you at all! And Jon Stewart is of course an absolute must! We cannot live or breath without him :)

[Dawgs]

41. I sent him this thread...

Evil SOB!!!

[fooj]

44. Let's hope that he remembers he has an obligation to the public

to report the news.

Peace.

[w8liftinglady]

47. I emailed him,too

..and if he reads this thread-I hope you realize that DU has over 72,000 members...and we all stay well informed.We remember when people sell out.

[fooj]

53. That's right, lady!

Peace.

[rainman99]

55. I emailed!

[fooj]

57. Thanks! Welcome to DU!

Peace.

[LibDemAlways]

71. I just sent him an e-mail telling him whoever

pulled the plug on the Sheehan story is as big of a chickenshit as chimp is for refusing to speak with her.

[noamnety]

76. I emailed a complaint as well

just saying that I watch the show occasionally, and I tuned in tonight specifically to see that segment, and if she had to cancel an interview or they had to reschedule it, they ought to have at least acknowledged that on air and explained the change, since they advertised it.

[w8liftinglady]

77. Exactly-and it's still on the website as such

[Pam-Moby]

78. I just sent this email. Lets see if I get a reply!!

Dear Anderson,
I am writing this evening with regards to your broadcasting this evening’s news or lack of.! Truthfully I am getting sick of watching unimportant matters in the world. Such as the run away bride mowing the lawn or my dreams examined. I do not care if the run away bride gets married or not. Know one cares. If I wanted to see a nut mowing the lawn I would go over to my neighbors house that has a vote George Bush sign still in his yard. So I already have a nut close by to watch mowing his lawn. If I wanted to have my dreams examined I would go and have them done by a professional. The only thing that gives me nightmares is you at this point. With careful thought you maybe able to help me. Stop airing meaningless programs. I pay my dish network company so I can see the NEWS. Now you could be the news if you would start airing it. What about the Cindy Sheehan story? She is a mother that is a true American. She has touched the hearts of America and abroad. Her braveness to stand up to this president is news in the own right. It is about one lady with the will to save lives of others through her own loss of her son.
So if you want to keep your viewers-start reporting man! If not, I will have you blocked off my dish network. I will miss Olberman though. Life is too short to just set and watch shit on TV that I do not care about. If you are trying to boost your ratings-it’s not working.
Sincerely
Pam

[noamnety]

93. LMAO

If I wanted to see a nut mowing the lawn I would go over to my neighbors house ...

That's hilarious.

82. If you wish, send this too:

Thanks for your email. Here’s our problem. We want you to know that we really do read every single email you viewers send us. No, honestly. But reading your email is one thing, and composing individual answers to each one is another. That would be a full-time enterprise. In which case, there’d be no AC 360. In which case, there’d be no emails. You see where we’re headed.

Anyway, the best we can do is to acknowledge that we have indeed received and will read your message, and this little note is to let you know that. It’s automatic, yes; fails to take into account whether you’ve patted us on the back or slapped us across the face; does not differentiate between praise, correction, fury, proposals of marriage, or invitations to get lost. But rest assured we’ll know that part when we read it!

advertized, he is a coward, resorting to a form email response. He doesn't even have the courage to explain his lies. :argh:

The fourth estate my ass! How about the "sold out estate", how about the "slums of truth" or the "the cabal's toys". They are complicit in the lies and the crimes of this administration. How the hell do they sleep at night? :mad: :grr: :mad:

86. I went to school with one of CNN's executive producers

but I cannot find any official contact information about David Nuckolls.....

[Princess Turandot]

88. "Dear Mr. Cooper..

Dear Mr. Cooper,

I had thought from some of your previous reporting that you might actually be on your way to being a legitimate independent news person, rather than yet another cable news talking head. As a result, I was very disappointed to tune into today's show, expecting as per your webpage to see a live report from Crawford Texas on Mrs. Sheehan, only to find you leading with a 'breaking news' story about one escaped convict & his deluded wife. This 'event' may be mesmerizing Tennessee & Kentucky, but means very little to the entire US.

I hope that you will at least address on your show tomorrow why you chose not to go to Texas and cover the story of a brave woman who is trying to get the person who serves at the pleasure of the American populace to explain to her and the rest of us, why our children are dying in what will ultimately be judged as America's first folly of the 21st Century. Perhaps if real newspeople started demanding an answer to that question while standing along side Mrs. Sheehan, more of our young people will not need to die."

[w8liftinglady]

92. great letter ...
