BREAKING: CNN USES EXTREMELY MISLEADING HEADLINE

[Halliburton]

:wow:

[redqueen]

1. Oh no! You mean the liberal media hs let us down AGAIN?!

HOW CAN THIS BE?

:silly:

[SeattleRob]

34. Damn that liberal media!!!!

:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

[TomInTib]

2. Gotta Get a Slogan, get some symbolism working.

[xultar]

3. BREAKING: CNN can kiss my CHOCOLATY ASS.

[MadMaddie]

14. Bwahaw....haw...haw....

That's funny!!:rofl:

[valerief]

4. You mean Cheney National News?

[skypilot]

5. What's kinda funny about this is that...

...the freepers who read further are going to be really disappointed and the one who don't will eventually look like fools when they go around repeating this.

[never cry wolf]

37. That was my 1st thought too

Who knows, maybe a few will swear off the ccorporate media.

[electropop]

42. The thing is, it's Pukes who are being indicted on a daily basis.

When they spew their lies about Dems, that's no 'indictment' it's just a compliment.

Speaking of indictments, I expect Gale Norton to be frogmarched and indicted sometime very soon now.

[blm]

6. Gee = who would've thought that House of Saud/UAE owned CNN

would dump on Democrats.....yet again?

[redqueen]

21. WHAT?

That's a joke, right?

[blm]

25. Nope. Both have large shares in AOL/TimeWarner.

Why do you think CNN was so hard on Clinton after 1996 and then Gore and Kerry while letting Bush skate for most of his term?

[redqueen]

27. I just figured it was run-of-the-mill corporate bias...

*sigh*

[blm]

30. Good to keep an eye out for Kingdom Holdings.

.

[FreedomAngel82]

40. And don't forget that includes Faux too

[Stephanie]

7. Is that real???

OMFG. I give up.

[blm]

9. And yet there are some who still think the media's pretty fair.

Geez....what's it gonna take?

[redqueen]

22. Here?!

There are people like that HERE?

:wtf:

[blm]

28. Not too many here, but enough to make you say WTF?

I can't see how ANY person can ignore the corporate machine that controls the news.

[redqueen]

31. Yeah... I can see how the kool-aid drinkers ignore it...

or even people who just don't care about politics, despite how it effects each and every one of us so significantly...

...but DEMS? :(

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

8. Just a little RNC positioning...planning ahead, don't ya know...

:evilgrin:

[SteppingRazor]

10. Link?

I can't find that anywhere on CNN's site

[JI7]

11. i really hate them

fucking whores

[leveymg]

12. We'll let the GOP work that side of the street.

Seems like wishful thinking on the part of the CNN headline writer to me. They're really showing their bias. :eyes:

[Skinner]

13. Here's a link:

CNN might not be responsible. It could have been someone over at Netscape.

[SteppingRazor]

19. I smell something fishy...

There's no byline on the piece, for starters. It says at the end that it's copyright by Associated Press, but AP wire stories in variably carry a byline.

[FreedomAngel82]

41. And all they do is

repeat the republican talking points: that the democrats don't have a plan etc. :eyes:

[CBHagman]

43. Both sites have feedback forms.

Just click on "contact us" at CNN (left-hand side) and "Help" (at the bottom of the page) at Netscape.

I just filled out the forms, cited the headline and origin of the story (Associated Press), and mentioned that the headline was both politically biased and misleading. Just the facts, ma'am/sir.

[LisaM]

15. I saw that too!

It really pissed me off.

[IsItJustMe]

16. God I wish there was a liberal cable media company. I am so tired of this

shit. I don't even watch the msm anymore. It's to damn painfull.

[Sydnie]

17. Ok, what is THEIR slogan for this year? n/t

[Ksec]

18. looks like CNN is trying to be Fox

pathetic really. A news service that puts out garbage like that lose any cred they may have had to begin with.

Its the medias fault that the country is so uninformed.

[gkhouston]

20. it's not the media's fault...

it's their goal. :grr:

[blm]

33. You said it perfectly!

It is their GOAL.

[KoKo]

23. CNN Live just put up "Democrats on the Run" in a big caption across the

screen (above the scroll) in a piece that John King was doing about possible Dem candidates for 08. It was huge....WTF is going on with them... This is really "in your face" stuff..

[redqueen]

36. They are DESPERATE.

They see things unraveling before their eyes, and they're working like mad to reverse the trend.

[NYCGirl]

24. Send that one to Media Matters:

[e-mail]

[Stephanie]

26. I alreay did

hope they use it

[NYCGirl]

29. Great! I hope so, too.

It's a pisser!

[Stephanie]

32. look - Josh Marshall picked it up >

http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/

[NYCGirl]

35. Cool! I love Josh Marshall. NT

[gristy]

46. It's up there now

[BlooInBloo]

38. I think you're post title is extremely misleading...

CNN's headline is a LIE. It's FALSE.

Not one Democrat has been indicted. Neither Kerry nor Clinton are targets.

To call it simply "misleading" is itself misleading.

[FreedomAngel82]

39. Damn liars!

[rzemanfl]

44. I've got an election year slogan for Ken "Fuck you, you smarmy

little closeted creep!"

[Lisa]

45. they identified Rumsfeld as "Secretary of State" a couple of days ago

So much for fact-checking.
