CNN on full assault against the Health Care Bill!
They have all of the pics of folks who are undecided....as though they were on "10 Most Wanted".

Guess Time-Warner CNN employees have health care coverage. :shrug:
Wonder how much is taken out of their paychecks per pay period?
Must not be enough for them to have even noticed.

18. I agree completely...and as one who remembers when the media was more "fair and balanced"
I find it an appalling affront to what we once considered a "Free Press".

3. lol, but Frenchie, what are they SAYING about those 10 people?
They've done a LOT of promoting of the stimulus and health care bills lately. I'm not convinced they're trying to defeat HCR.

6. It's 37 congresspersons.....
Got Anderson Cooper on with his serious "investigative face".

He'll also talk about John Edwards' girlfriend,
and the Phedophile Priests.....

so Anderson Cooper has got his job cut out for him....

He'll Give us sex stories and makes sure we get no fucking health care.

5. My local news interviewed a woman who is against HCR - but not one that is for it!
Desperation surrounds us.

8. I don't know how anybody can watch today's tv "news"
I was sitting in a waiting room for an hour today and the TV was on CNBC. The only news content in an hours worth of viewing was live coverage of Dodd, and they had to sandwich it with commentary about what the GOP thinks, what corps think, etc. They fully admitted not having the text of the bill but speculated about it anyway. While Dodd was speaking they put up huge graphics of certain financial stocks which were down a whopping 2% during his speech. These channels are a waste of bandwidth.

10. Frenchie cat, I had some heated discussions with you
during the primary, but I'm backing Obama 1000% now. I really hope we get health care passed.

11. The more of us the better, to put one foot forward and then another....
and then at some point we'll come to a better place and that has to be the goal.

:hi:

16. MSNBC don't do much better except for maybe 2 hours per day.....
Andrea Mitchell sure spews Republican talking points really consistently
and permanently.

She's a good attack dog, only problem is that she doesn't work for the GOP,
or does she?

17. Right...john king's slavering to the ilk of dick cheney
is never enough and he probably requested erick erickson personally to double team the propaganda on America.

20. Yeah... did you see all of the "respectful" soft-ball questions lobbed at Armey yesterday?
It made me sick. He was lying his ass off in an interview, and both interviewers let pass so much of his BS.
