Thank you CNN: Rest of media------> HELP THEM
To CNN,

I thank you for sueing to make sure that you can keep your cameras pointed at this devestation so the Bushies can't hide bodies or spin the number of people who DIED BECAUSE OF THEIR INCOMPETENCE AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS that are leading people to their death.

Keep up the good work and the rest of the MSM, PLEASE HELP CNN.

3. I wish I could be encouraged by this lawsuit...
but i watched CNN thursday and friday and both times it was total shilling for the administration. Kyra Phillips put on a little performance on thursday that was really shameful and she did it again yesterday. From what I saw was there was no difference between the CNN daytime shows and FAUX news.

5. Kyra Phillips Needs to be FIRED
Putting her aside. I'm very excited that the rest of CNN actually grew a spine and sued to be able to keep their cameras in the devestation.


We all know the Bushie history, they are going to do ANYTHING to keep the body count down. ANYTHING!!!

We all know that the death toll is going to go ABOVE 10K. The American people are not STUPID.

10. Have you emailed CNN to let them know what you think of her
grandstanding?

http://www.cnn.com/feedback/forms/form1.html?39

Ask them to have her shut up. She isn't smart enough to interrogate the likes on Nancy Pelosi. She's an idiot looking for her moment of fame!!

13. Here's the email I just sent to CNN from the link you provided
To Whom It May Concern:

The other day I was watching CNN and became disgusted at the hostile nature of the online interview that Kyra Phillips did with Nancy Polosi, the Democratic Minority Leader. Time and again Kyra was shilling for the Bush Administration and making uncalled comments to Nancy. Lou Dobbs, Darren Kagan, and others have also been shilling for the administration's story line. Someone should try to instill some ethical standards in the reporters and anchors. New anchors and reporters are not supposed to be biasly intersubjective in what they report. We want news, the facts, objectively reported. CNN is turning more and more into a bad imitation of FOX NEWS everyday.

A concerned citizen,

(My name here)

4. Last night on Hardball,
Chris was staying with the 10's of thousand's body count. So, the rest of the media doesn't seem to be giving in either.

6. Let's Hope They Follow Up On Other Fronts
While the injustices of New Orleans will take months to "dry out"...there are other scandals that have been let loose by this fiasco that CNN needs to stay on.

We need to know how a goon like Brown ever got in charge of such a critical operation. How he could have been given such authority based on a bogus resume, no background in the job at hand and his political connections.

Like Gannon/Gunkert or Judy Miller, Brown is a window into the corruption and cronyism that pervades this regime and the Repugnican party. It's turned the federal government into a feudal patronage system and now people are dying and millions are suffering for this selfish arrogance.

Kudos for CNN returning to reporting the news rather than the spin. Here's hoping the "radicalization" that happened to all those that were on the ground in NOLA and the Gulf can translate into at least several months of critical analysis.

I don't need to see the dead, or know the exact number who died. There have been enough death and suffering to fuel my outrage. Now it's demanding accountability and being relentless in getting true justice for those who died or suffered needlessly by the bush regime.

7. between a few and a few million(?)
the bushpigs squirm to disinfect that pestilent mob but their efforts are just serving up carrion...carrion = the bush gopig.
(please email the media; so much hinges on numbers and each email represents thousands {not in the case of the freepers thouhgh- their email represents just one dingbat} hahaha)
the illusion is that bush is legitimately the president and works froma solid basis, but the fact is bush is disliked by 90 percent of those who know the score...the explanation for why the pigmedia are whores is along the same lines of why donald trumps god...

8. My congressman said that some
Republican Reps are not at all concerned about the death and destruction in NO. Gets rid of the housing problem and gets the blacks out of NO for further development. They don't give a rats behind. Makes a blue state red if they do. The rich people don't want to share the space.
