As you watch and listen to CNN attempts to smear Cindy, remember this:
From 2001

CNN's new CEO, Walter Isaacson, was recently in Washington conferring with Republicans in Congress and the White House, looking for ways to improve CNN's image among conservatives. CNN has been losing viewers to newcomers like Fox News and MSNBC, which together are attracting about half a million viewers a day compared to a little over three hundred thousand for CNN. Fox, with conservative stars like Bill O'Reilly, Brit Hume and Tony Snow, appeals to conservatives, and its viewership has skyrocketed.

Reaching out to Republicans

It seems Isaacson set the foundation for reporting lies* in order to support the GOP and protect the Bush Family.

_______
Remember the CNN's "Yawning Boy Lie" in its attempt to discredit David Letterman?

1. Yes, isaacson is a propogandist

I just want the message out to all Americans that cnn is a fauxsux wannabe..nothing more.

Way to go isaacson you greedy son of a bitch..way to sell your Country down the river because you have some misconception that blitzer, crawley, zahn, and all the other mediawhores are your answer to everlasting ratings..Fuck The Real News!

4. That's why I said "It seems Isaacson set the foundation..."
He groveled before the Almighty GOP, asking how he and CNN could sway conservatives to watch CNN. I doubt if that intention changed after he left as evidenced in the biased coverage and outright lies CNN provides, particularly of late.

5. When are these guys going to wise up?????
Dear CNN:

If it's all about the ratings...if it's all about capturing and holding a market share...then do a mirror of Faux Views you stupid fucks!!!

There is NO market for Liberals! Ratings would go through the roof and heads would be exploding on MSNBC and Faux you lousy ideots (mis-spelling intentional). Focus on the Liberals! Dominate this market segment!

I DARE YOU!!!

I heard that Hannity's been losing listeners to newcomers like Ed Schultz . . . maybe Clear Channel has been conferring, trying to improve its image with intelligent people . . .

7. Don't worry about Cindy. Buddha predicts that CNN's words will
be like spitting in the wind. The "spit" will come back in their face. (Sorry Buddha for not quoting you more eloquently.)

8. CNN did a highly sympathetic piece on Cindy Tuesday evening
The last thing it could ever be interpreted as is a smear. It was on the Lou Dobbs show and they also concentrated on the crosses being mowed down by that jerkoff driving the truck. They showed an Iraq vet putting the crosses back up and talked to him. The whole piece was very moving in support of Cindy and the cause
