CNN: The Delicate Art of Whoring for the White House
CNN is far more insidious than FOX.
FOX’s cover was blown years ago. Even a good chunk of FOX's braindead viewers know the broadcast is beamed straight out of the White House situation room. The network is a complete joke.
But for the supremely gullible, CNN is still able to masquerade as the marginally credible news organization it once was. They don't have the right wing circus atmosphere that FOX has, so, to the casual viewer, CNN appears to be a more staid, "fair n' balanced" channel. Their White House shilling is, by comparison, more nuanced than the blustering of FOX.
But CNN's whoring has reached epic proportions. It’s really quite something to witness. Just check out that liberal Paula Zahn.
I'm convinced that, like FOX, CNN has a "memo" system.
Yesterday's theme was:
Despite the difficulties in Iraq, our beloved Wartime President carries a COMMANDING lead over the flip-flopping, multiple-personality, hapless candidate John Kerry, whose bid for the White House is all but over.Oh yes, one more thing: The polling organizations are owned by the same corporations that own the government and the media. They too are instruments of right wing propaganda. Their methodology is gamed for BushCo. Don’t buy the lie.
