They are just totally useless.

Their CNN live online feed had no sound for the Obama Speech to the Urban League.
They treated us to non stop footage and comments on McCain's speech yesterday,
but gave Obama perhaps 3 minutes of Urban League coverage on television, if that.


I will be glad when they are buried, because they are obviously dead to me at this point.

12. They are into the canned Prison/crime/pervet stories of course.
MSNBC is useless on the week-ends.

Fox (that was the level of my desperation) showed a generous footage of Obama live at the beginning of his speech, and cut it off when it got good....but at least they had an online live feed that had sound.

8. I finally found a "Fox" link.
Fox is even better than CNN, and that's really sad.

13. I hate their ugly corporate asses
along with the smug elitist presumptous pompous newsreaders that don't know shit.

I will say that their only, and I mean only saving grace is that new Fareed Zakaria show.
Otherwise, they are totally, totally useless. In fact, they do more harm than good.

18. They are corporate, FC. Did you see who is now AP Washington Bureau Chief?
I posted this response to Ron Fournier being named DC bureau chief for the Associated Press. May as well raise your blood pressure a little more:

This is what the media has come to. This guy is a friend of Karl Rove's:

Rove exchanged e-mails about Pat Tillman with Associated Press reporter Ron Fournier (recently named bureau chief), under the subject line "H-E-R-O." In response to Mr. Fournier's e-mail, Mr. Rove asked, "How does our country continue to produce men and women like this," to which Mr. Fournier replied, "The Lord creates men and women like this all over the world. But only the great and free countries allow them to flourish. Keep up the fight."
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/07/14/aps-ron-fourni...

He says he "regrets" it. Bullshit. Who the hell would say such a thing to Karl Rove in 2004, when the pure evil of the man had been known for years??

Now this clown is AP Washington bureau chief. God help us all.

By the way, I'm guessing Fournier doesn't give a flying f**k about the real story behind Tillman's death and cover-up. I predict this will be a disaster for reporting all over the country, as almost all papers use AP from DC.

22. Yep. That's scary. Ron Fournier is an unfortunate little man
who pretends to do more for a living than to whore himself.

17. Not really.
On the weekends, if one wants election coverage, it is either CNN or Fox. And the point is that Fox is much too hard for me to take....and CNN is just plain bad. Try looking at Rick Sanchez for more than one minute. He gives the word pompous deeper meaning.

21. FrenchieCat = 9 times the hate for CNN
I don't really knows what that means, I just like how you used the word hate nine times in your subject line.

I have been becoming discouraged with CNN as well.
