Cause that is why they are now covering the IRAN Story all day so far.

They were severely criticized, and they are trying to correct the error in their way.

We should criticize them via Tweeter more often....cause it seems like they listen to
what Twitter says about them. :shrug:

Real-Time Criticism of CNN’s Iran Coverage
The performance of the American cable news, especially CNN, spawned an online protest by thousands on Saturday and Sunday, showing that viewers can try to pressure news organizations about their coverage in real time via the Internet. Fox News Channel and MSNBC also were said to have covered the protests in limited ways.

Protesters’ comments on Twitter were quickly noticed by CNN, which defended its coverage. The social networking blog Mashable said Twitter was acting as a “media watchdog.”

CNN had reports from Tehran throughout Saturday, including some from Christiane Amanpour, its chief international correspondent. But it did not provide the kind of wall-to-wall coverage that some had expected.

It was a departure for CNN, known for its breaking news coverage, including its celebrated reporting during the Tiananmen Square crackdown 20 years ago. But the Tehran protests were not covered with rolling live coverage for hours at a time.

1. Wow! Just the
name freaks me right now because ..I first heard of it when the repukes were twittering at Prez Obama's Speech that was the SOTU..

But, if that's what it takes then I guess I'll have to get connected.

2. I'm not into counting Character allotment,
but I guess I could give it a try, if it helps the media straighten its ugly biased ass out.
