CNN is Pushing the Fire Sebelius Crap from the Republicans

CNN is once again giving serious consideration of the republicans calling for Sebelius to be fired over the problems with the ACA website.

did they ever do the same during Bush's time in office ?

it gets really frustrating when you look at how horribly they failed, especially when it came to the war in Iraq.

and how they seriously report shit like firing someone over a website .

The Republicans learned this from watching Big Brother, Jackass, and the Anna Nicole Show (back in the day), and they have taken the reality-TV path to media saturation.

Democrats are missing the boat by saying sensible things and spending time studying policy papers and economic studies. Democrats need to get out there and put on teh crazy if they want to get some TV time.

They ran it for three days at least. Hourly at times. Clips in every segment of their programming. As if this was "news".
It was just a soapbox derby.

I'll watch some of CNN's specials, Zakaria's GPS on Sunday mornings, Dr. Gupta's pieces, etc. But that's about it.

They have become the new Fox News. CNN International isn't near as bad.
