In Reply To: Yeah, pretty damning stuff, especially since Kerry had already been quoted about how Geeves, or was it Mr.French, provided him with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches at the snap of a finger. Let's not forget the windsurfing clips. Memories.....(cue Barbara Streisand)... Yeah, CNN is a bad product, though primetime is the trouble area, in my opinion. The network should get back to 24-hour news. Just anchors at the news desk, telling us what's going on in the world. And username, the fact Hillary Clinton allows herself to be "grilled" by Soledad should tell you all you need to know about Soledad's political leanings. Hillary's a smart lady, isn't she? You know, the "tummyache scare" as a publicity grab to snag coverage away from historic Iraq free elections. Remember that? Who treated Senator Clinton's alleged fainting spell(which turned out to be inaccurate because she admitted the next day - clever - she never lost consciousness) with all the drama of a leader's passing? Why, by golly, it was CNN, with Soledad leading the charge. Go figure. Shenanigans. Gotta love 'em. Isn't that what news is all about??
Message: I guess the Fox version of soft and easy = fair and balanced? Come on criquifan, be real here. As much as you don't care for Jon Stewart, The Daily Show has done a better job of presenting (and bashing) both sides of the political circus than any legit news organization. Which you gotta admit is pretty sad.
