CNN is orgasmic over this conservative gathering but ignoring Netroots

How's that for librul media!!

I turned it on an hour ago stupidly thinking I'd get some video of Netroots. They did do a 2 minute story and that was about Democrats at Netroots who are unhappy with President Obama. The rest of the hour has been devoted to this conservative gathering in New Orleans. They've shown Michelle Bachman's speech about 6 times in the last hour. They are now doing an extended interview with Jim DeMint.

Do they understand that the right wingers they are pandering to are all watching Faux?

Sheesh, no wonder their ratings are down.

3. I rarely watch them except for Anderson Cooper

He has a good show. But there is not any other decent programming on CNN.

6. I watch CNN when BIG news happens- other than that never

they had great Japan earthquake coverage. If only some how they treated everyday news with that kind of skill and integrity.

7. Know why?

Because often when there is a BIG story somewhere else, they flip to CNN-I..and we get a chance to see what we are all missing here..and a glimpse of what CNN used to be...long long ago..
