Lots of forced giggling and laughter on CNN today...
Reporting on the horror of Fallujah has to be weighing on them, if they're human.

Which I doubt Barbara Starr is. At one point, after warning people about the soldier/unarmed Iraqi video's graphic nature, she actually smiled as they went to the video footage! SMILED!

And up next? the pressing story was about new evidence that the Atkins Diet works!

How do they look themselves in the mirror every morning?

2. It's very easy to look at the mirror in the mornings...
when you don't cast a reflection.

Reminds me of the documentary I saw that took a look into AL-Jazeera Television and the American media adviser there told their reporters to smile more. :mad: Of course, he got a new a-hole because of it.

3. Avoid CNN- CNN is not news, it is infotainment-
If you quit watching them, you'll quit feeding the beast.

4. I monitor the beast's movements...
It's fascinating to watch a news organization blatantly lie and cover for a government. From watch dog to lap dog...

5. They are evil and can't see their reflections in the mirror.
That is why they love to have their pictures taken and to be seen on video, it is the only way they can see how they look. imho

DIRTY LAUNDRY

Don Henley - Eagles

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something-something I can use
People love it when you lose,
They love dirty laundry

Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear
Come and whisper in my ear
Give us dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em all around

We got the bubble-headed-bleach-blonde who
Comes on at five
She can tell you ’bout the plane crash with a gleam
In her eye
It’s interesting when people die-
Give us dirty laundry

Can we film the operation?
Is the head dead yet?
You know, the boys in the newsroom got a
Running bet
Get the widow on the set!
We need dirty laundry

You don’t really need to find out what’s going on
You don’t really want to know just how far it’s gone
Just leave well enough alone
Eat your dirty laundry

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down

Kick ’em when they’re up
Kick ’em when they’re down
Kick ’em when they’re stiff
Kick ’em all around

Dirty little secrets
Dirty little lies
We got our dirty little fingers in everybody’s pie
We love to cut you down to size
We love dirty laundry

We can do the innuendo
We can dance and sing
When it’s said and done we haven’t told you a thing
We all know that crap is king
Give us dirty laundry!
