FYI, The Cato Institute is NOT a far right think tank; instead it's best thought of as Libertarian. You may be thinking of The Heritage Foundation, an extremely right wing institution.
For the Record Jane Fonda doesn't own CNN, and for that matter Ted Turner who has been divorced from Fonda for a number of years barely owns it anymore either.
If you believe CNN is "America's Al Jazeera", then I have some sweet Iowa oceanfront property to sell you. And, using the logic you have displayed on this BBS as a barometer, not only would you purchase it, you would also pay too much for it. Treeman, do you think Fox News is "fair and balanced"? I've got news for you...Roger Ailes wouldn't know "fair and balanced" if it bit him on his fat rubbery ass!
I was nice. The only curse word I used was in describing Roger Ailes' anatomy. And I'm not sure that reading Treeman is better than reading the funny papers. It's more like reading a right wing version of the Weekly World News. Speaking of comics, anyone else dig this comic strip as much as I do? The Greatest Comic Strip in History
They are both owners, FB. Didn't you find it odd that right up until the end of the conventional war in Iraq, you'd turn on CNN and hear "Oh, the offensive is bogging down, the sandstorms have forced the campaign to halt, it looks like we might be seeing the beginning of a quagmire, the sky is falling!...", and then you turn on FOX and see the tanks rolling into the outskirts of Baghdad... And last year when the suicide bombings were occurring daily in Israel, CNN would rush to interview a Hamas spokesman, only to get around to the Israelis an hour later... And how for weeks after 9/11, CNN refused to even call it terrorism, and aired continuous stories about how our foreign policy has wronged the Arabs... Here's a nice one: "Last Thursday, after hearing that Turner called CNN employees who observed Ash Wednesday ‘Jesus freaks,’ Varney resigned in a huff, sources said, although his resignation was kept quiet." The New York Post added: "Insiders say Varney believes the cable network has strayed from its middle-of-the road political coverage -- and has slanted heavily towards Democratic party positions." http://63.66.59.32/cyberalerts/2001/cyb20010315.asp There's a pattern here.
No, actually I would put them to the right. MSNBC appears to be fairly "fair and balanced". Although I'm sure that to a liberal Democrat, CNN would seem that way, too.
Jane Fonda is a born again Christian now and busted up with ted a long time ago. CNN has made a concerted and documented effort to be more righty and ape fox over the past year. this is documented, but I don't feel like searching for it at this point, maybe I wil later.
Right-wing... I never get tired of hearing that, Tex. I must be about the only right-wing nut on the planet who is pro-choice, wants spending increases in education, and wants to legalize drugs and start tearing down prisons. If that makes me a right-wing nut, then so be it. You must be the only left-wing nut who... wait, they're all like you. Never mind.
Oh please...you call me left wing as much as anyone despite the fact that I am anti-abortion, anti-affirmative action, etc...Cry me a river flowing right...
Would you prefer I called you a right-wing nut from now on? Somehow, it just doesn't seem appropriate, since you also want the black helicopters to come...
She's about as much an owner of CNN as I am if I held Microsoft stock. AOL Time Warner owns CNN. Even Ted doesn't have much input anymore. Anyway, she's now a born again christian last seen visiting Israeli suicide bomb victims. What a radical.
Alright now, there's no reason to be harping on about my ball fetish. That's personal, I think. MacBeth: Uh, yeah, it was directed at you. You want to take away my guns and make me bow down to Kofi Annan. Replace my red, white, and blues with a light shade of blue, right? Is there some confusion here?
"Yes, the one there in the fatigues. He is called... 'treeman,' ... and we must assimilate him into the ball-less future of UN, mamby-pamby world domination. First we will give him baby blue fatigues. Then, we will paint his hair light blue... In time, yes, even that hair."
Keep flapping that right wing and you'll continue to go in circles treeman, even your own kind are turning against you...
