Wanna know why CNN ran "Dead Wrong?"

[Jackpine Radical]

It's pretty clear. I think SOMEBODY UP THERE suddenly realized what a disaster we're headed for and has decided they need to pull the plug on the upcoming Iran invasion. And the surest way to do that is to pull the plug on the whole Bush administration.

1. I don't have cable -

well, not the news channels on cable. Was it a decent program? Was it truthful?

[Jackpine Radical]

4. Read this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=104&topic_id=4417699&mesg_id=4417699

Then make sure you get in front of a TV for one of the reruns.

[JanusAscending]

5. As truthful as they could get without fearing for their lives!!

I wonder what the "spinback" is going to sound like?!!!!!:bounce: :kick: It focused on all of their LIES!!

[proud patriot]

7. The rerun is on now

:hi:

[Jackpine Radical]

8. I'm watching it right now.

Right now they're exposing all the lies about the aluminum "centrifuge tubes."

[JanusAscending]

2. I TOTALLY AGREE!!

And if anyone missed it at 8PM it's on again right now, just started! Don't miss it!!!!!!!1

[spanone]

9. The airing of this program in and of itself is News!

[Jackpine Radical]

28. Yes, it is, and I'm amazed that this board isn't overwhelmed

with activity about this topic.

This may be the biggest night on TV in the past 6 years. Where is everybody?

[Canuckistanian]

3. I think this was payback from the CIA lifers

They've been manipulated, lied to, jerked around and finally blamed for 9/11 and pre-war Iraq intellignce.

Maybe "someone" had a little sit-down with CNN and explained what REALLY happened.

[Jackpine Radical]

10. No doubt the CIA lifers were very cooperative

with this production, but I think the motives are more pragmatic than just revenge.

[Canuckistanian]

14. Of course! Revenge just sweetens the pot

Many career CIA see the current and potential destruction if this lot aren't stopped.

Already, American intelligence is seen as suspect due to the intense political interference now proven.

They want to bring America back to a former position of prestige in the world, instead of a laughing stock.

[JanusAscending]

11. GLORY BE!!

Oh happy, happy day!!! The CIA is finally getting satisfaction!! I take back everything bad I ever said about CNN!! I hope someone can get this news to Cindy!!:grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :yourock: CNN!!

[Lydia Leftcoast]

19. Yes, just now someone talked about how

the Bay of Pigs, the escalation in Vietnam, and the overthrow of Allende were not originated by the CIA.

[Jackpine Radical]

21. Right, I heard that. Also Iran-Contra.

The point was made that these events were originated by the Presidents sitting at the thime, and the CIA was the "whipping boy" when things went wrong.

This program is aiming very high in its implicit fixing of blame.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

32. Yes, they made it a point that the one person ultimately responsible each

time was the US President, not the CIA. I think I went a little slack jaw when I realized they were laying this on Bush's doorstep.

[MichiganVote]

6. I think they hope to make as much money as they can. Period.

[JanusAscending]

13. PLEASE, don't deprive us of the littles victories right now.!!

Hold your cynicism for another day. Our victories are few and far between lately!!;)

[MichiganVote]

37. Its a business. Since when is it cynical to assume, rightly,

that cnn and any other media business will follow the trend away from support for the war? When or if they need to swing back into full blown support for the right they will do that too.

That's reality, not cynicism.

[oldtime dfl_er]

17. I think this shows Karl Rove's loosening grip on the media

and his waning power. His goose is cooked, stick a fork in him, and all that jazz.

[Jackpine Radical]

22. I think it's much more than that.

I think that some very powerful behind-the-scenes forces have decided to remove Dubya.

[flyarm]

35. TRENT LOTT TODAY AND HAGEL...

* is coming down..and now cnn!!..something is big going to happen..and cnn knows it!!

[Jackpine Radical]

27. You may think you're being fashionably cynical, but

you're not half, not a tenth, not a hundredth cynical enough.

First, this is not a big money-maker type of show. It is, in fact, a very risky and courageous thing to put on the air.

Second, even if there were money to be made here, that isn't the primary function of the corporate media. The CM serve primarily as the propaganda wing of the Corporate State. The airing of this show is a strong indication that there is now a high-stakes war going on among the ruling elite in this country.

All hell is about to break loose. Just remember that you heard it here first.

[Talismom]

12. I saw it earlier and am watching it again. I still can't believe what I'm

watching! Now it is clear to anyone who depends on cable TV for their news that the whole thing was a pack of lies. The administration looks like the shits we've all known they are. The CIA looks terrible.

The only thing the freepers can say is that it's the liberal media turning on the "president". It should be interesting to see who jumps ship in the coming days and who turns on CNN.

I hope you're right about it stopping an attack on Iran, but I doubt that it would if the neocons have decided to go for it. People better start writing to their representatives with some real urgency!

15. Dead Wrong is Right!

I am watching it now Oh my God! This is fabulous. Is this a slam dunk for us? Is the plug gonna get pulled? If so...."Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus!"

[chookie]

16. If only

JPR, I only hope that you are correct about this.

I fear that it was just an offering -- in an inconspicuous spot on their broadcast day, of the controversies surrounding the war. Air it, and forget it. Maybe they only supported the neocon war 23/7 this week....

I seriously doubt that the information/message this program conveyed will be repeated during their high rating programming.

I only WISH the networks were pulling the plug on their support of this insane war which has only made things worse -- in spite of destroying close to 2000 Americans and countless Iraqis. But I will hope. Slowly, mainstream America turns away from Bush. The sooner the better. God bless America.

[yodermon]

18. Well, we live in a Corporatocracy.

And, when our ruling Corporate Overlords determine that their sockpuppet shrub* is no longer profitable, he will be replaced by another sockpuppet to appease our "unrest".

Shrub* will become politcally unprofitable--a liability, even--well before 2006, ensuring defeat for any repug that still claims fealty to him. This will lead to Dem victories in 2006, possibly enough to impeach & convict, depending on the level of public outrage (i.e., how well the corporate media has managed our thinking).

If the Corporate Media Cartel could get Clinton impeached, then can easily get shrub* impeached if they have the proper incentive to do so. And you'd better believe that the incentive is not a noble one. Don't believe for a second that CNN has had a change of heart.

[wli]

20. Zero tolerance. Never forgive. Never forget.

This doesn't end when Bushler's reign does. It doesn't end until ever last neocon is on trial in the Hague along with the Julius Streicher analogues in the MSM.

[CAG]

23. This will no doubt be spun as that " ol' librul" media is out to get shrub

They even have their minions believing that the CIA is full of liberal bureaucrats just wanting to screw shrub. Yea, you know the CIA is full of all of the leftover hippies from the 60's.

I'll never understand how anyone agreed with Flush's little "clinton news network" while CNN ran Monica Lewinsky everyday all day for two years straight.

[Catherine Vincent]

24. How many days in advance did CNN advertise this I wonder?

If this is an honest hit piece on the Bush administration, the idiots on freerepubic would have discovered what was going on and would have probably threatened the executives over there at CNN for airing it.

[buzzard]

30. I sincerely doubt free republic has any clout with what airs on

CNN. I enjoyed watching but nothing that was reported was new news to people who have been following this mis-administration and their constant lies.

[sue_66]

25. Finally

It is about time the MSM started telling the truth. I am getting the feeling it is all going bad for the Bushies right now. I can not see how they can get out of this. Plamegate, Cindy, Iraq going to hell, gas at 2.75 a gallon, republicans everywhere being arrested for fraud, etc; How can CNN ignore the truth

[DanCa]

26. Is that why they suddenly decided to police Bob "vodka" Novoka?

Let's leave old Bob out to dry as an example to his neocon chicken hawk followers? I think he should have been suspended a long time ago but for so much more than for having a potty mouth.

[FreedomAngel82]

29. I think that also and that

that "someone" is getting ready to dump Bush and the gang. It's pretty obvious. We still have to take advantage and gain back the House and Senate and get justice.

[lonestarnot]

31. Didn't pull it fast enough! It's too late baby.

:cry:

[Jackpine Radical]

33. I get your point, but don't think I necessarily agree.

A public airing is just about the last step in the fang-pulling operation. At some point they need to provide the proles with some sort of explanation for why the Popular Wartime President is wearing that funny orange suit.

[lonestarnot]

34. Hope you are right!
