I was bothered yesterday by something which should not be any surprise
to any of us...

I was flipping past CNN and there was Miles "Plane Crash" O'Brien, covering Gore's lead-in to the conferring of the Prize, and what I heard was the anchor in Atlanta saying that they were switching to Miles in the frozen north where it was 4 degrees above zero, and the almost immediate canned response from O'Brien stating that there wasn't much evidence of global warming here...

Ha. Ha. Ha.

And then he referred to this as a "Goreination" rather than a "coronation" I suppose.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

Except that there is no pretense that this is a 'coronation', it's the conferring of the highest academic/social honor in the world to a man who was cheated out of the greatest elected prize in the world, and it was given to him not as a consolation prize, but that he went on to achieve a great distinction which separates him from his fellow politicians by a distance of light years.

This is your MSM..."THIS IS CNN".

1. They have to laugh at him, it's their only available response. He's punked them every which way from
Sunday.

Yes,CNN where one female anchor, when discussing the Myanmar uprising described police as firing into U.N. armed protesters, rather than unarmed protesters. The worst part is not truly knowing if it was her stupidity or deliberate misinformation, which is a question we often ask, these days.

2. 4 degrees ABOVE zero, isn't the average something like 40 BELOW zero
for this time of year. I have heard Alaska is experiencing much warmer than normal weather this year...

3. These are the folks that pimped for the Iraq War. They should all be in jail.

4. Most people know CNN is now just a homelander propaganda machine
no one takes their propaganda & spin or their propagandists seriously.

How low they have fallen...shame.
