CNN Hits Back At Fox News: "Fox News: Distorting, Not Reporting" (VIDEO)

I just saw this ad on CNN! http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/09/19/cnn-ad-hits-back-at-fox-n_n_292158.html

I thought it was the DNC ad until I got to the end of the commercial.

not so much.

:puke:

covering the pro-reform side of the health care debate in balance with the anti-reform side.

CNN's HLN was doing 5 minutes stories on the Tea Baggers crossing American on their way to Wash DC. They had a dedicated reporter traveling with them. They play it just about every hour for several days and would do periodic updates. At that end of the story it would show the pro-reform bus and say "the pro-reform side has a bus too". End of story.

This morning HLN had some woman on there doing a "truth meter". She called the statement that Rush Limbaugh made that paraphrased says that the U.S. government is going to be able to access your bank account to take out money for health care without you knowing it barely true. Barely true!?!?! It's downright a lie. The government will not access your bank accounts to take out money for health care without you signing up for the program. So it is a lie that they would go into your bank account or take money out of your bank account without you knowing. She called it barely true only because the government would be able to go into your bank account. How asinine can one be?

Such balance. They are just mad because Fox is trying to make them look less right leaning than they really are.

CNN should be doing more real stories about real people and cut through the BS. And if they are going to give time to anti-reformers they need to give as much or more to the pro-reformers as their numbers are larger. Then I will respect them. Their pissing war with Fox is not impressive.

Fox News and the right have been smearing the mainstream media for decades and the mainstream media just lies down and takes it. Nice to see a change for once.
