what the hell is wrong with CNN? - GoFuckYourself.com

d-null · 08-08-2008, 01:44 PM

woke up this afternoon, got a phone call that told me that there was fighting in Georgia, so I turned on CNN Headline News (first mistake) and sat there half awake watching for nearly half an hour and absolutely not a word on this story... instead they spent most of the time talking about some missing kid that has been missing for months and some guy named Edwards that had an affair and some blurb on fireworks in Beijing....

finally woke up enough to go to BBC and of course the Georgian conflict was top story

fuck CNN

Yeah, odd, especially since the US okayed the Georgian offensive on South Ossetia, after training the Georgian army, funding its US-educated President crackdown on opposition, and listening to ExxonMobil prayers over the pipelines crossing Georgia.

American media's mission is to entertain, not inform.

Watch BBC or Aljazeera tv if you get it, you actually get news and not some half hour report on Britneys new look and then a 5 minute recap of the international news.

World War III could start in full swing and CNN/FOX/NBC would care more about what Paris Hilton and Britney Spears are doing.....

Then suddenly a NUKE would drop on New York and they *might* cut into the story

CNN homepage: Edwards on affair: ' I alone am responsible'
