More like the Republicans were the turncoats to him because he was decent to President Obama when he visited FL.
I used to like CNN, now I find them really like faux lite.
I like Charlie Crist and give him a lot of credit going there to speak.

Not "Fox" at all. Soledad is the antidote to Morning Joe. A very balanced show, and she is a tough interviewer.

Just not able to catch the morning shows much. When I do it's usually Bill Press and Stephanie Miller on current. I gave up on Morning Joe a long time ago. I will have to remember to try and catch Soledad more often.

...not. Did they hire someone from Fox to do their on-screen graphics?

Also, CNN, his last name is 'Crist', not 'Christ'.

WOW ... who would have thunk it ... Next you'll be telling me that they have Conservatives on their shows.

And MSNBC will have a Conservative Republican hosting his own show for 3 hours every weekday morning ...

but then, I'm just being facetious ...

Likely not.

And "turncoat" is a bit extreme for a changeover in American political parties.

They can never spell, and the headlines look like someone with no idea of being unbiased wrote them (and of course, this is not the first example).

The whole crew of them - Anderson Cooper, John King, David Gergen etc.

They all said that these are bad numbers for Obama and that he won't get much of a bounce from the Convention and that Democratic spirits are down coming out of Charlotte etc.

John King said that no President since FDR has been re-elected with unemployment numbers like this.

Where did the screenshot come from? Are we sure it's legit? I have dislike CNN recently as much as many others here. I pay for CNN as part of my cable package, so if it is legit, I'd be keen on complaining.

German, Dutch, French and sometimes the BBC. It helps that I understand German, French and Dutch!

as they did Discovery Channel and put it in a more expensive package (damn cable company). I don't know why we even have cable nothing is ever on in English very much and I just get the tv shows I want to watch for free online. Sometimes I watch Rachel Maddow or Hardball on the NBC website.

I actually watched most of the DNC speeches on Youtube, with the exception of President Obama's speech which I saw live.

or any MSM years ago and my blood pressure thanks me. My cuss word quota has gone down considerably as well, since I no longer swear at the TV.

I thoroughly enjoyed the convention via C-SPAN where there were no talking heads misrepresentng or putting their spin on what was said. Yesterday morning after the big finale, I decided I'd give TODAY a whirl. That lasted less than 3 minutes. Loathe Matt Lauer

NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN suck. No need to even mention FUX. My hat's off to you fellow DUers who can stomach the rat bastards. You keep me abreast of the latest MSM travesty and much of what is passed off as news on tv. I get my news elsewhere and watch tv for entertainment only.

he is a very strange man. Something is really off there. Of course it's only my opinion but it is unmistakeable in a one on one conversation. Even when not talking about politics or "news".

20. CNN has had a rightward bias for a long time now.
Sat Sep 8, 2012, 09:05 AM
Sep 2012

Blitzer and Bill Schneider are both Republican-biased, and Candy Crowley was practically raping Bush Lite on camera during the 2000 campaign. I can only surmise that the only reason she hasn't yet gone to Fox is because she doesn't meet their strict physical requirements.

It used to be unheard of that CNN would misspell the name of a known American politician whose name has only 5 letters. I only give that a 50% chance of being a mistake. The Foxation of CNN proceeds unabated. Soledad had better have her resumé parked at MSNBC for the day when. She seems to be quite serious about her profession. That alone puts her on the endangered species list at CNN.

O'Brien seems like she has a promising career ahead if she can get out of CNN and go somewhere else (other than Fox). CNN is really going down the drain. In terms of the large networks there really is still a oligopoly between ABC, NBC (and what was MSNBC who knows what it will be called after the name change), Fox, and CNN.
