What's up with that?

I am completely uninterested in those crazies so I keep turning to CNN instead. Then when I turn back to Rachel she has Glenn Beck. Ugh. Back to CNN.

1. Maybe tune in sooner
She just spent the first segment talking about what was going on there in regards to the attacks on the press and Nile TV's propaganda. Honestly do you need a minute by minute account of the protests when there aren't any new developments?

3. CNN is more concerned with SPINNING the news than reporting it.
This whole "USA" idea is so OVER.
Wake up and smell the MATRIX already.

4. Actually her point was valid
after doing an amazing job on the in country. Glenny is irresponsible, and to have Gaffney accusing Napolitano of being a member of the Muslim Brotherhood is ... dangerous... like oh... McCartthy dangerous.

8. that's what MSNBC does well
they are good at reporting the disinformation of other stations. Seems odd to complain about it since it's what a lot of their late night line up is about. If I turn into MSNBC I expect mostly domestic news, and mostly corrections on the distortions of other news stations on the "news of the day". That's what they are built to do.

7. I want to know what is going on.
Can't help myself.

They just had footage of Katie Couric in the middle of the crowd. Man she looked outmatched.

9. There's wealth of information online
No need to turn on cable news tv.

11. tune in to al Jazeera.
They do straight news and serious analysis, which is lacking in any US media.
