1. CNN will not get away with these two full of shit fuck faces tonight.
Fight them. They defended Wal-Bush(Mart) then said they were liberals.

9. It's over. gents. the democracy was a wonderful experiment...
but they've opted for thinly veiled fascist dictatorship under one party rule.

YOU BEEN PUNKED, CIVICS STUDENTS!

they found a way to game every known institution from Congress to WH to the 4th estate.

bye bye freedom and prosperity. it's on the march and has left this town.

10. Knight-Ridder too
Maybe the only print resource that is remotely fair, being pressured to sell some of its holdings by a right wing capital group. May as well get all your grieving done at one time. :(

11. It's good to be concerned...
...but personally, I turned off the TV years ago. Religion may have been the opiate of Marx's generation, but TV is far more dangerous and addictive for mine.

12. They want the old school out or something. So we have nothing to
compare the new ones too. If I was one of them, I would quit too. Life is too short to be under attack all the time.
