CNN Infuriates Me......

This a.m. they did a story on Arlington Cemetery and the remains of soldiers being in wrong graves. They ended the story by saying that CNN will keep up the pressure on Arlington Cemetery to make sure that they honor the fallen hero's and will not let that happen again.

Now I agree with that - but where was CNN when we were getting into these wars. If CNN kept the pressure on our government - maybe we wouldn't have these wars or we could end these wars and we wouldn't have fallen hero's to bury in Arlington.

Nice gesture CNN - but just a little too late. You could have made the difference.

1. They don't care about the living soldiers!

There's no story in there for them.

2. I'm sure they would like

to blame it on Obama. I can't stand CNN/Fox Light.

3. Okay, I'll admit Arlington fucked up - but that was the deed of a few tired and disinterested men.

It wasn't planned, it wasn't a conspiracy. It just happened. Don't we have something more important to worry about? I don't mean that to in any way be disrespectful of the fallen, but they are in Arlington and that's an honor on its own. It would be hard to claim this was a slow news day, at least not one slow enough to merit digging up (no pun intended) a story from six months ago.

4. They Made Money With "Shock & Awe"...

Their ratings soared during the invasion. They took it to the bank. You can't televise peace.

8. Not with excellent FSTV, Schultz, Olbermann, Hartmann, Maddow, Stewart, Colbert & Maher...

It's worthy, insightful entertaining television - that needs viers support to keep others informed.
