Is CNN competing w/ Fox for the same

[jaysunb]

audience ?

I just watched the last 45 mins of AC360 and it was nothing but an Obama/HCR bashing fest. Were it not for Paul Begala meekly adding some truths to the discussion, it could easily been a duplicate of one of Foxes phoney panel discussions.

I guess CNN isn't even trying to hide their true stripes these days. :evilfrown:

1. It is just about $$$$$$$$$$$$$ and selling ads (which is $$$$$)

[jaysunb]

2. I guess...

:shrug:

3. Murrow and Cronkite are all rolling over in their graves, I'm sure.

The actual objective news is conspicuous by its absence.

4. Yep....A bunch of pompous shit coming out of AC360's mouth.

I'd rather watch Rachel twice than watch Anderson Cooper twice.
He just seems like he doesn't give a f*ck about anything except for
what he decides is important. They are trying to gin up a drama
for the reconciliation bill procedure....

They can't ever say what the bill is actually about; mention the student loans
or anthing. Instead, his panel is into the politics of it, as though
this really is a game....meanwhile influencing at least 1 million people a day.

I fucking hate the media, and there is not one personality on CNN that I remotely
like as a person. They just seem so authoritarian and arrogant.

8. Agreed

I sort of stumbled over there (CNN) out of curiosity of how they'd present the HCR passage. I knew it wouldn't have the same POV as MSNBC but I never expected what I saw.

The media is more dangerous to America than any other force. :evilfrown:

5. I have been slowly pulling away from Cnn, and watching MSNBC, starting about 4 month ago.

6. You know what. .I thought exactly the same thing!

I was really surprised to hear so much negativity from CNN!
So much so that I decided I needed some Olbermann and Maddow therapy!

9. They were also pushing a pre-HCR passage poll...

...with Obama's numbers at 46 percent approval.

How wildly disingenuous...but it helped them pump their narrative.

Makes ya puke, doesn't it?:puke:
