Say what?


Smoke coming from a bulding on the White House grounds?

The Bush Administration spent over $5 million dollars on paper shredders, almost 6 times as much as the previous administration.

So my only question is this?

Were they burning shredded documents or did they run out of paper shredders?

Oy.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Amazing. Here’s what CNN calls news. Seven of thirteen stories on the home page are irrelevant. We’re living in a world gone mad. Never in history has the news media been more needed to inform the public. Never in U.S. history have they failed so miserably. Raunchy mannequins, chimps, bad kissers and fur-clad piglets. Now that’s what I call news!!!

How about global warming, peak oil, Alberto Gonzales, Andrew CArd, Larry Craig, President Bush’s signing statement designed to skirt congressional oversight, just to name a few. How about the rising cost of food and gasoline that never gets counted in inflation figures, or $4.50 for a half gallon of milk on $6.00 minimum wage? Where’s the reporting on the pending contempt of congress for Hariet Miers? How about the drought. Or how about a story about people committed to making peace in the world. Instead we get chimps. Maybe that’s what we have at CNN, chimps.

CNN.com apparently thinks running a red light is worthy of page one coverage. Oh Britney! You brat. Would you please behave so CNN can cover real news stories. Oh never mind,. they would just find some other titilating trivia to publish instead of newsworthy material.

 

Dear CNN,

Britney Spears will lose custody of children

You call that a front page headline? With all that’s happening in the world, you put this story as the headline?

Where are your souls?

Here are a few possible real headlines:

  • Harry Reid slams Limbaugh over “Phony Soldiers” remarks
  • Charges Dropped Against Rev. Yearwood
  • AT&T will cancel the account of anyone that makes anti-ATT remarks
  • Dwindling Funds Force Romney To Dig Deeper Into Personal Fortune

Tell me, CNN, why do I have to dig through blogs to get REAL NEWS?

 


The corporate media proves again and again they have lost their way as our nation’s news providers. 

It’s time to go elsewhere, permanently.

I don’t know the Way
I am the Way
