CNN is airing a bio of Shirley Sherrod right now!
They're describing her early life right now -- describing how she and her husband received death threats from KKK -- looks like good civil rights history coming up!

Thanks to FAUX and Breitbart, a lot of the audience is going to learn a few things about the civil rights era they weren't aware of. Talk about blowback ...

2. Please, please tell us if CNN brings up that Anderson Cooper crap from the other night - where
Edited on Sat Jul-24-10 09:40 PM by peacetalksforall
he and his assistan said something like - 'of course, the Democrats have been pulling dirty tricks like Breitbart'.

I think they were bombarded with complaints about that one. I wrote and I was not kind, but I didn't cuss. Never cuss with those perfect humans. With all due sarcasm.

I wouldn't be surprised if this is all about the reaction to that lie. No one plays Rovian dirty tricks the way the Republicans do it and Breitbard probably has direct money and guidance from Rove and his funders.

Did CNN explain or relate ONE dirty trick as an example? They didn't. There are none to tell about Democrats since the assassination of JFK, MLK, RFK and many others plus the Reagan filth camapaign trick against Carter with hostages, right on down to Breitbart - a really stupid person to get set-up - upfront and who is going to end up in jail for Rovians. Andrew Blackhater is a tool of Republicans and CNN is helping the Rovians.

4. CNN Has Really Made A Big Deal Out Of This Inicident......
They have covered it pretty well - but kind of with a 'holier than thou' attitude. They really tied up Ms. Sherrod and had her on the air a lot since the start of this whole thing.

5. IMHO, CNN often reveals that its editors and reporters are not united in their views ...
They'll cover a story in a very commendable way, and then turn around and switch to the reichwing corporatist line -- very schizophrenic at times.

I'd love to see a breakdown of the factions within CNN. Sometimes they seem like slaves of FAUX, other times they can't keep the lid on quite tight enough, and real criticism makes it to the air.
