CNN is starting to grow some balls. It's about time.
Just saw a Larry King promo for Jimmy Carter: "He got the mideast talking and brought them together" or some such....

Nice to see a few oversimplified sound bites in OUR favor for a change.....

And Aaron Brown was just commenting on the NYSE regulator working for the same people he's regulating....NICE. :)

1. I think.....
CNN might be realizing that they can't 'OutFox' Fox, so they are trying to be 'serious' again

2. I agree, I think they're
finally starting to come to their senses. And I think another factor is Shrub's poll numbers going down to some of the lowest levels yet, I think that's starting to make the chickenshit media whores feel a lot safer going after Shrub, or at least, not being cheerleaders for him.

3. No thank you
The press is slimy and two-faced and those are it's good qualities. I'll settle for getting my news from the internet.

4. Please let me know when it is safe to go back there
Right now the internet, PBS, Cspan and BBC are the only ones I use. CNN made such a bad decision trying to perk up news. Hey, news is interesting enough, I don't need mine "perked", thank you.

7. damn straight considering
some women 'could' be considered to have 'balls',
while some men could not.
maybe in should just be brains.
of course Bush has neither.

6. There was an article in the Los Angeles Times yesterday,
which I was going to post, but evidently now you have to be a member to access it, so all I can do is tell you what it is about. I guess there is some shaking up in the ranks to revamp CNN's programming. Although, according to the article, they are still trying to compete with Fox for ratings, so I don't know how that is going to work out.

I wish I could be more specific but DH threw the paper out already, so I don't remember the names.
