CNN decided not to show YOU the U.S. President's Historic Speech on a Nuclear Free World!

Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 07:41 PM by FrenchieCat

That's what we get from this 24/7 news channel,
who call themselves the best political team on television.

Please watch this 2 minute clip
promoting Obama's speech in which he talks of a Nuclear-free world...
if not for you, than do it to kick CNN in its ass,
and if not for them, then do it for the children....and their future.

4. lol, baby doll, I think you missed the comma...

Edited on Sun Apr-05-09 07:38 PM by Clio the Leo

Not, "no thank you!" as in "nope, I aint gonna do it!"

That should have read as ... "no (pause) thank YOU!" as in "thank you for posting that."

So put it right back up there young lady, it was beautiful!

Dont MAKE me go back into my browser cache and post it for you! :hug:

After today, the world became a slightly better place to live.

11. I set my DVR to record it, and Obama's press conferences throughout the week.

They might re-air the speech tonight though.

12. I have a DVR, and I set it to start recording CNN at 3:00 a.m. in the morning....

But I live on the West Coast, so that was just 6:00 a.m. eastern time....so I guess I missed by three hours.

15. For whatever reason, the speech didn't seem to be publicized like other events were...

... I had the hardest time trying to figure out when it was supposed to happen. Finally found where Politico called it a "statement." Well, that was clearly more than a statement.

I dont know WHO'S fault it was .... but there's something basically wrong with the fact that it was easier to figure out when they were going to have tea with the Queen than it was to determine when that speech was supposed to happen.

13. and I think CSPAN is reairing it at 1:20am edt Monday morning....

... or in just under five hours.

But Frenchie is right, none of the MSM has broadcast the whole thing. It's not like Sunday is a big ratings day for anything anyone airs on Sunday afternoon.

I have recorded everything else, but forgot that one! So if I miss the 1am showing, I'm coming to your house! :)

20. CNN is the worst!

they don't cover the good stuff, and they broadcast irresponsible garbage

such as: depicting Mexico as a "failed state"

their coverage of the Mexican drug problem has been horrendous, it would scare anyone into avoiding
travel to Mexico

CNN is a totally incompetent and/or evil organization
