1. Done


Thanks for the link. I also added my feelings about the blatant Pro Bush "reporting" given by Wolf and Novak.

I didn't add Sneider because I was shocked that he told a bit of the truth about Rice and Bush having problems with the Briefing Memo.

44. There's a lot one can find to despise in Crowley...

...but her weight is perfectly irrelevant. IMHO.

48. It is not her weight
It is just that she looks like she recently swallowed a backhoe.

Candy Crowley just cost you a CNN viewer. She is an embarasing shill for the Bush Administration. It is obvious. Painfully, painfully obvious.

It is sad, but between her and Wolf and Judy, CNN has become the same as Fox News.

More flash, more emphasis on the host, less substance, and RNC talking points disguised as analysis.

This war is the media's fault. The blood is on your hands. Everything that is known now was known a year ago. You have failed our troops and continue to sterilize your "war coverage" until it is useless.

If you want to see what your headlines could look like, please go to buzzflash.com.

It may open your eyes. The worst thing is, we depend on you members of the Fourth Estate.

We can't have democracy without you.

Replace Candy Crowley and I will watch again. Until then, goodbye.

Sincerely,
Eric Sisak

ACK, what a HACK! In one interview about the 9/11 commission this morning, if the said "Clinton administration" once, she said it 8 times! She really disguts me to no end. :puke:

or do now?

The discussion you linked never mentions what she did/said.

Thank you.

12. E-mailed them,
my thoughts on why it is they are reporting that bush has been on vacation this week and showing him in conference, but why was it they were not reporting him taping a fishing program with rolando martin, while this was one of the worse weeks of fighting in Iraq and now, 667 soldiers have died.....

I would hope that maybe MoveOn could get a lil snipet of that tape and run it in an ad and say something like. While the battles throughout Iraq were waging, George W. Bush was on a boat fishing, and then show a fish he might of caught, and then flash, he fishes and while soldiers die.

If you are wondering why your ratings are not as good as they should be, it may be because Ms Crowley is slanting her coverage to agree with viewers who are already watching FOX. Those FOX people do not watch CNN. Viewers who watch CNN turn the channel when Crowley comes on because the right wing bias is just too much.

Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 07:49 PM by newsguyatl
criticize her despicable "journalistic" practices, rather than continually talking about her weight and looks?

call me a prude, but i find the incessant nasty comments about her physically rather offensive.


on edit: this was meant to be in response to #18 and the other plethora of comments like it.

It's what she does and what she doesn't do that makes her offensive to those of us who want REAL JOURNALISM, NOT PARTISAN ELECTIONEERING FOR BUSH.

Oh, and while you're talking about appearances. Helen Thomas is no beauty, too. BUT SHE'S A JOURNALIST!!

Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 08:09 PM by newsguyatl
the nasty, immature comments about her physically... it's a tactic that freepers resort to... and i've noticed that a lot of these comments have come from low posters... ahem. :eyes:


anyway, yes, i completely agree about her bias... it's palpable on air... and it's such a shame, too, because crowley is probably one of the best writers at cnn... good writers are hard to find... she's crafty as hell... sigh, if only she were a liberal.

31. well of course, if only ALL reporters were "fair"
i was just saying that she's such a good writer (and IMO effective political journalist), that it would great if she were on OUR side...

hey, nothing wrong with wishing for some more liberal political journalists now is it?


i mean, hell, they're so hard to find as it is.

41. as i pointed out in that thread
i think talking about the way jenna dresses and conducts herself is a lot different than talking about how "fat and nasty" candy crowley is...

tho i might have missed some posts in there talking about them other than their dress and conduct.

I am not participating in this effort because of stupid comments about her weight and looks. All of you making those comments sound like freepers.

This has got to be at least the 50th complaint I've sent to CNN regarding Crowley since 2000. I'm sure I'm not alone in this.

Sadly, during the policical season, Crowley gets TONS of airtime to further the AOL/TW political agenda to keep Bush* in office. What in the hell can we do? CNN must get floods of complaints about her and not only does she guest host more and more of their political programming, but her bias gets worse and worse.

I dunno, but it's obvious that she's doing exactly what CNN wants her to do. And THAT is what pisses me off.

49. Candy is despicable
Edited on Sun Apr-11-04 11:20 PM by PA Democrat
I remember last year shortly after those decks of cards with the most wanted members of Saddam's regime came out, some repug genius put out a set of cards with the Democratic candidates for president. Candy thought they were SOOOOO FUNNY! Yeah, that's a real scream Candy, equating Democrats running for president with Saddam and his regime.


It was sickening, and I sent a letter to CNN expressing my disgust. She's still there, so that told me all I needed to know.

Edited for spelling
