A CNN critter called Gore "A JUNKYARD DOG!" How do they dare???
I sent them ANOTHER e-mail:

WHAT IS THE REASON TO CALL GORE "a junkyard dog?" ARE YOU NUTS? Why the lack of respect for somebody who is a NATIONAL figure and for whom the majority of Americans voted in 2000?

WHO ARE YOUR USELESS republican parrots passing for "journalists" to insult a national figure? Why don't you call BUSH A MISERABLE AWOL who was selected by the Supreme Court? That would be the only thing that could come close to your description of Al Gore.

And I had sent this before, but perhaps you have not read it so here it goes again (note to DUers: the following appeared on another thread here in DU already):

EDITORIAL SLANT: CNN is obviously biased towards the Republicans (trying to outFox Fox?).
A case in point. Mrs. Teresa Heinz-Kerry brouhaha during speech to the Pennsylvania delegation: you need to report NEWS not pro-republican sound bites. Mrs. Teresa Heinz-Kerry's encounter did not happen with a "journalist" but with a right-wing "opinion" writer: Colin McNickle writes for the Tribune-Review, a republican rag owned by Mr. Scaife of Democratic-persecution fame. He was hounding Mrs. Heinz-Kerry in order to elicit “incriminating” statements. Nothing else could be expected from that type of “journalist.” If somebody had dared hound the Republicans like this, you would have focused on the hounding and not on the exchange.
Democratic convention coverage in general: you question EVERYTHING the democrats may say… question with a smirk, like you don’t believe their answers. The facial expressions are precious but they have absolutely nothing to do with “journalism” and a lot to do with bias and lack of journalistic skills and ethics. Then you go to the “Republican Truth???? Squad” and let them babble on without ONE SINGLE question about their statements. WHAT THE HECK IS THIS?
I was hoping to obtain good reporting from CNN during the convention but I was delusional. I did not have access to cable before, and obtained it to follow the campaigns. The only result of watching you is my determination to cancel my cable subscription. Your reporting, and the majority of the cable news reporting, is worse than WORTHLESS. It is biased, un-professional and, let’s say it, UNETHICAL. When you fail to report what has happened to this country during the Bush administration you are working against the country and its best interests.

2. If anyone finds out
who this is I would like to know. I have sent 2 letters this morning already so one more would be a good idea. This is just outrageous.

5. What? Nobody on DU is labelling Gore "insane" and "hysterical"??
I'm shocked. Show a little anger around here and that's what happens.

6. Great email!
I really liked how you described Teresa's brush with the Scaife hack! The media aren't going to report it as the set-up it was.

:)
