Credo Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Lately, there have been a number of high profile 'deaths' that turned out to be false. Seems to be all the rage these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangon04 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Its great to see true democracy at work... a TV "news" channel asks every American with a pulse for their opinion, and then presents it as "news". Twitter must be the greatest leap forward in collective thinking ever...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spud67 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 This is a wonderful setup for this coming week. Last week, Jon Stewart skewered CNN (again) on The Daily Show and announced that Pele will be on his show this week. His writers are going to have the time of their lives writing this episode. The timing couldn't be more perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial HEO2 Diver Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Seems CNN has a History of getting things Wrong and it never seems to 'faze' them in the least. Anyone see that (in my opinion) 'bought and paid' for interview by that pseudo journalist (what's her name .. ?), recently ... The two participants were stroking each other like a bad porn dialogue. Welcome to CNN's 'Buy a Point', whether the content is relevant or even factual ... The problem (and at once, the saving grace) is that no one believes either of them anymore. Popular Voting will take care of one tweeky puppet, and channel searches for actual, factual news will take care of the other .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baneko Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 CNN is a poor news channel. BBC news much better. Sent from my GT-I9300T using Thaivisa Connect Thailand mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
