My Email to CNN (I am Fuming Right Now!)

[Stevendsmith]

CNN:

I am disgusted with Candy Crowley and CNN. Filling in for Wolf Blitzer on Late Edition today, Ms. Crowley appeared determined to portray the 9-11 Commission as a partisan attack on the Bush administration. I heard the words "partisan" or "partisanship" no fewer that 30 times during the Late Edition broadcast. Ms. Crowley's conservative political views, her disdain for liberals, and her fawning support for the Bush administration simply ooze from her "reporting." How sad that CNN has sunk to the level of FOX "News," spinning like a top to provide cover for the Bush administration’s massive body of deceptions. Thinking Americans—apparently a shrinking constituency-- realize that CNN's corporate parent, Time Warner/AOL, has a vested interest in the survival of the most corporatized administration in U.S. history. Shame on you CNN for abandoning journalism and your inherent obligation to act as a guardian of the truth.

1. I was feeling like you. will email them, as well! thanks. n/t

[Ivote]

3. Notice that

when she had mcconnel on with BILL NESON (my SENATOR) mcconnell got the last word and she said Nelson would get the last word next time, she did the same thing with JOHN DEAN. Ive been noticing it is happening more and more lately that republicans can ramble on and on with half truths and get extended air time.

[Paradise]

7. Yes, Ivote, with Dean, and

telling Nelson he could 'filibuster' next time.
Their panic has, flat out, exposed them all!

[Kahuna]

2. Excellent email. Thanks! You have spoken for many people.

:toast:

4. CNN is becoming so hard to watch, that lately...

...I've been missing Ted Turner.

[lebkuchen]

5. Does CNN read letters on air as CNNI does?

CNNI usually reads a letter representing both sides. Of the two letters read on air today, the one opposing Bush and the Iraq war packed a powerful punch. When I find the CNNI address to mail such letters, I will post it. You might just get your view promoted internationally.

6. I agree ... ironically, from what can be seen, Times Warner

seems to donate more money to Democrats, and is listed in Kerry's top 20 top contributors-to-date list http://www.opensecrets.org

a bit of an enigma ... money to the campaign (to re-invest in ads with Times Warner?) ... but, the daily spin protecting/covering * ...

the Media want a horse-race for election night drama ... much like they did in 2000 ... boost *, demonize Gore w/lies ...

Diebold and BBV ... widespread voting problems causing impossible results ... I fear, will be the deciding factor

ODDLY enough, one of Time Warner's Beneficial Owners by virtue of stockholdings is


Liberty Media Corporation(3)
171,185,826 100.0
12300 Liberty Boulevard
Englewood, CO 80112

which has ties to Rupert Murdoch ... it may not be too far-fetch to think FAUX and CNN are closely the same

8. You are not alone. Crowley's perfomance was a disgrace.

Every question was framed in defense of Bush and against the commission.

She is a willing traitor, a whore, and a moran at that.

CNN should be shut down.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

9. CNN, MSGOP, FAUX, CNBC, and ABC should all be SHUTDOWN!

They are a threat to America. We'll keep NBC and CBS, their reporting is halfway decent!

[Shopaholic]

10. How many complaints about Candy have we sent to CNN?

And it looks like none of them have had an impact. She's still spewing the GOP party line. Why it is that the freepers get the attention from the media and we get jack? I laugh every time someone tells me that CNN is a liberal news organization!

[strategery blunder]

11. I thought NBC was also a bu$h* mediawhore entity?

They are owned by GE...

[SeveneightyWhoa]

13. Shut down, huh?

Maybe America should only have one state-run media service that only agrees with YOU?

[Moonbunny]

12. I E-mail them often

I cannot believe how Bush-sided they have become. Last time I checked you couldn't even E-mail Foxx with comments. CNN will probably do that next. I will E-mail them too about this. I also notice American Morning is very right-wing. I have E-mailed about that jerk Cafferty many times. We all need to contact the news media and let them know that they are not fooling us and what they are spouting is not news.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

14. You know CNN is horribly biased when..

..their most "liberal" pundit/anchor seems to be a conservative whose only political contribution has been to George W. Bush, Lou Dobbs.

Carville/Begala are almost never to be seen, and even when they are, they're basically DLC Dems.

Airheads like Kagan and that redhead are basically newsreaders, and they seem very sympathetic to Republican/Bush causes.

Aaron Brown and Anderson Cooper appear to be the fairest, balanced, and most human--yet they're not necessarily pro-Democrat, but simply more balanced than the other Republican sympathizers (Crowley, Zahn, Blitzer, and Woodruff can all be extremely horrific at times).

When your Senior Political Analyst is a neo-conservative who belongs to the major neo-conservative thinktank in America, and you don't feel that this is important enough to EVER tell your audience about, you are most likely biased to hell.
