1. GOP is late in getting out their talking points memo

CNN filling time until the GOP gets the ball rolling.

3. Hasn't this already replayed today?

WTF is going on?
Isn't CCN supposed to be showing CNN International from 12P -1P? So are they blacking out the US citizens while the broadcast to the rest of the planet? What can't they tell us? Their website looks pretty calm.

on edit:
I know that they like to slip the nasty news out on Friday afternoon when no one is watching. Are they getting CNN's help on this today?

4. Usually it's CNN international. Wonder what they are "not" covering...

bastards

Do we need to get the "charity" of the elder Bushes shoved in our faces?

I only hope these images of wounded families will backfire on these propagandists

8. MSNBC did kind of an unusual thing the other night, too

They aired Supersize Me in it's entirety during prime time. I know they run their investigation specials later at night and on the weekends a lot, but I don't know that I recall them ever airing an actual movie or documentary that didn't originate from MSNBC.

I was happy as hell to see them showing it, but it struck me as odd. :shrug:

13. MSNBC has shown it like half a dozen times

in the past two weeks. Still I've recommended it to many of the fsat food generation. The thing is that MSNBC announced what they were going to be doing weeks in advanced. CNN just moved into Larry King today - that is strange.

14. Thanks for the info

Other than Olbermann, I don't watch much msnbc so I missed the announcements. I have no objection at all to them showing it, as I think it's important for everyone to see. Maybe we should lobby them to air An Inconvenient Truth, too. That would be awesome.

That is strange about CNN flipping over to Larry King. Hopefully, it was so they could debug their teleprompter to stop putting "s"'s where there should be "b"'s. :banghead:

9. One of my CSPAN channels today is emitting a tone over a voice and there's no picture.

It's the CSPAN covering the senate.

odd.

7. In lieu of news and information, CNN is pimping their "charity hummer"

"Look how great we are, we are auctioning military equipment for injured soldiers, worship us, worship us."

I applaud their efforts, but their "job" is to broadcast corporate news.

12. Perhaps they've deployed their 'news teams' to Reggie Walton's court in DC?

Perhaps they're short-handed by giving them an extended weekend in preparation for next week's SOTU and Libby trial? Whenever I see them trot out their canned pablum, it seems they're engaged in preparing for extended coverage of some other event.
