If I hear CNN play McClellan saying Clinton did the same thing as Bush
Edited on Tue Jan-17-06 10:46 PM by Quixote1818
by spying on Americans, one more time without giving the facts proving McClellan and Gonzales are full of shit, I am going to throw the stereo through the window!

I am refering to the news braodcast at the top of each hour on Air America.

:argh:

If they are going to report something someone says they should at least check the facts before they blindly report it as fact.

1. But You'll Continue Watching At Least....
CNN says Thank You for watching and feeling impacted enough to want to throw your stereo into your tv.

But mostly, thanks for watching. Why is it that you watch again??????????????????????????????????

5. Sorry....Can't Believe Air America Would Air Such An Advertisement
Sad state that they have to take an advertisement that lies that way about Clinton.

7. It's not an advertisement. It's the the news at the top of the hour.
Some radio channels have ABC some have FOX and some have CNN. Air America has CNN.

14. Air America has Air America news. HOWEVER, your local station may
opt to use another news source such as CNN. It could be they signed a contract with CNN to carry their news long before they became an AAR affiliate. It could be they make more money by running CNN. Who knows?

16. It's an Albuquerque station and it's not all Air America
They play Ed Schultz and Lionel who are not part of Air America. Ed Schultz is part of the Jones Radio Network.

3. You know, I often wonder about this sort of thing too.
People often complain about Fox and what Bill O'Reilly says.

I have no idea what Bill O'Reilly says, because I don't ever tune him in.

Edited on Tue Jan-17-06 10:33 PM by OhNoTheyDidNot

9. They are talking about them spying on a CIA agent who was a traitor
I guess they went through his stuff without a warrant. From what I understand they didn't break any laws. They were not ease drooping on the public they were searching a suspected spy. I don't know much about it other than what was reported on Randi Rhodes show and Ed Schultz.

13. Wasn't this pre FISA though, so not against the law at that time? And
it was one case and didn't represent a whole illegal program that continues to this day?

6. Most of us were taught that this was no defense
By the third grade.

Even if it were true.

8. I sent them a letter...not that it will do any good
I have written CNN so much that they probably just delete my emails as soon as they get them. I finally asked them in this letter if they get cut a check directly from the White House for being their parrots.

God, this shit just wears you down.
