CNN: The Pirate Story that "captivated" the American People!

[FrenchieCat]

Which actually means, CNN has captured the American People by reporting on this story 24/7.

Nothing wrong with the story, and it is true that Americans have had a love affair with pirates,
But still, it is the media driving this story, not the American People!

Same could be said as true about many stories!

1. Thank you. My father called me today and said he couldn't believe the

non-stop coverage of the pirate story. I just fast-forward over this coverage already. Jeez-not like there's nothing else going on in the world/our country. :eyes:

2. James Cristodoulo(?) just now on CNN said that there were like over 200 Hijacking in 2008!

Said this ain't new.

3. We're watching the same thing...

Funny-not one "pirate story" in 2008 (maybe one). I guess they were busy making negative stories about Obama and then covering Sarah Palin.

4. Well, the President has made us so much less safe than shrub

so it's only important now! Plus, these pirates don't look like the regular pirates...what the hell is going on?

5. "Why aren't we hearing anything from the White House?"

See? They find a way to put a negative spin in the form of a question. :eyes:

7. Funny I haven't heard much of anything on it - not much happening to be news I guess

Now that it all ended well, I doubt we hear much more beyond Monday!
