I tend to watch TV news to watch the media, not the "news". The truth is, what passes for "news" on TV is typically not.

So I loved this moment that happened on CNN's American Morning today.

Miles "I'm not an anchor" O'Brien was talking to a local official from Crawford, Texas about the disruption being caused by the protests outside of President Bush's ranch. He wanted to learn more about what kind of problems all the people cause down there in Texas.

But the guy he was talking to broke topic and let Miles know he was inclined to tow away the CNN broadcast truck, which was apparently parked in the roadway.

It's a 30-second clip, and well worth checking out.

3. "How to Handle"...

..the "liberal" media. I suspect this guy privately still refers to CNN as the Clinton News Network. We know better, but to folks like him anything to the left of FOX is liberal.

7. Yes, the TRUTH is "Liberal" to his type

Not that CNN does any kind of stellar job of the truth but to these iceholes if it hasn't been stamped with approval by KKKarl himself they're not allowed to consider it.

8. I am not sure Pro-Bush people would be getting criticized as much...

or being petitioned by many to be moved out as the person being interviewed seems so confident to be able to claim.
