CNN Makes Another Move Toward the Right....

I am appalled by this woman. From the Huffington Post...

...Fran is bringing her expertise to bear on issues of homeland security.

And what better source of objective, insightful analysis than a former Homeland Security Adviser to the President? Witness this gem of intelligence insight, where Townsend explains that she doesn't know whether al-Qaida was in Iraq prior to the Iraq war, because she wasn't at the briefing (it seems like a lot of officials missed that meeting)...

I suppose that we should be thankful for the MSNBC nightly line-up, at least we have Rachel Maddow as a voice. CNN is becoming FOX News.

1. House of Saud bought controlling share in AOL/TimeWarner/CNN and they will do whatever

they can to bolster the two American families THEY know they can trust to protect their interests - Bushes and Clintons.

6. Amen!

People need to wake up to the fact that the Sauds are running our country and using our military for their purposes with the help of the PNAC cabal and the Bushes.

11. My Dad and I ....

were talking this morning about the latest losses of our servicemen and we agreed, going into Afghanistan to find Bin Laden was just. However, my Dad said we should have gone after the Saudi's instead...they are the real enemy. I agree.

4. I don't understand how anyone can watch any of those channels.

For any reason. They're toxic and will make you stupid.

5. Rachel Maddow is our last hope for truth. I'm sure they will do away with her soon.

She is too logical, truthful, and dead right..

7. I don't think so. Rachel is a smart cookie who has managed to

dodge the slings thrown her way and still get her message out. No matter what cliff they try to throw her off of, she will land on her feet stronger than ever.

8. Oh I agree with that. Just saying with all the networks going to the right now

she is too good of an advocate for us LW'ers to keep on. They will see her as a threat to their new GOP owners of the networks.

10. That's true.. Hopefully they will continue to let him express

what he wants. I am just too pessimistic I guess. I just see MSM leaning to the right more every day it seems.. They own the radio, and slowly taking over TV and paper..

But in the end as long as they are getting good rating is the main thing with these network$$$. Hopefully Olberman will maintain a big audience for a long time.

13. CNN has been trash for years now.

No wonder they have been so anti-Obama this cycle. They pretty much took destroying Kerry and propping up the Iraq War personally.
