Sent to CNN Today RE: "Sensitive"

[Triana]

You have repeatedly aired a sentence from of the John Kerry speech where he mentioned the word "sensitive." But in the next sentence, which you didn't air, he talked about whom he intended for this sensitivity to be directed, but you didn't air that. You completely took his comment out of context.

Why don't you compare Dick Cheney's "go fuck yourself" attitude toward his colleagues or Bush's "with us or against us" attitude toward the entire world and John Kerry's would-be sensitive attitude to our nations allies? That would be worthy exposition.

You should spend as much attention on the innumerable and real spoken blunders of Mr. Bush. He speaks in simple terms because such are the biggest concepts that he can capacitate. You are, apparently, likewise constrained in capacity.

1. On the Daily Show,

Jon played a clip of Bush saying sensitive too. Where is that on the news? I swear TDS is the only honest cable news show and it is supposed to be fake news!

3. Jon: ....pssss...Mr. President....I think the VP just called you a pussy..

I almost fell out of the chair when I heard that.

Steward was on fire.

5. THANK GOD FOR....

JON STEWART! I think I would lose my mind if I was not able to sit down for 30 minutes every night and get some REAL news FROM THE FAKE NEWS GUYS!

4. Amazing, isn't it?

Ellie, I feel the same. Repeatedly in the last weeks, I'm flabbergasted that it's left up to The Daily Show to expose the ridiculous spinning and lies of this administration.

6. Sometimes I truly....

fear for Jon Stewart's life...seriously....he better watch out. He is bringing out the hypocracy and lies of the Bush WH....he is the only one doing this...NOT CNN, FOX, or MSNBC!

8. CBS Evening News did a good job last night

They showed Cheney going negative, and snarling on and on about Kerry's "sensitive" remark. They then showed Kerry being very positive and showed that deadly clip of Bush using the same word! My sister told me that ABC did a very good job of showing the Cheney's remark backfiring as well. I have a feeling that the GOP is going to let this one go down a memory hole, like they did with Bush's remark about, "we've turned a corner.

9. I sent CNN an e-mail about that, too.

I sent them a rather lengthy e-mail about the danger of just chopping things down into sound bites without context.

Keep after them. KEEP AFTER THEM.
