CNN FALLS ON ITS FACE TRYING TO ACT LIKE FAUX NEWS

>

I woke up around 5 this morning and put CNN on to see if anything had happened overnight. They were hyping an upcoming interview with Lila Lipscomb, the grieving mother from FAHRENHEIT 911, who they were claiming had changed her mind and disagreed with Cindy Sheehan. "Ugghhhh, I thought, "did the right wingers drive her crazy and brain wash her?" Meanwhile CNN was acting like they were hyping up a match between Lennox Lewis vs. Donovan Ruddock. Then they finally had Lila on screen and she shocked the pathetic host by being totally supportive of Cindy. He kept digging and suggesting that they disagreed and Lila stuck to her guns and said her son was killed in Iraq because of Bush's lies. Why does CNN always try to serve the interests of the Corporate Establishment and the White House? Why can't CNN just be a news channel the way Ted Turner meant it to be and leave the fascist propaganda to Fox and the comedy to Comedy Central?

Sounds like Lisa Lipscomb successfully duped a less than deserved CNN news team!
When amateurs run an organization, as they so clearly do at CNN, this is what will happen! Hoorah for Lisa Lipscomb! Now, how do we get the REAL CNN back?

Good question, Tim. You'd think maybe not watching would help--and not watching isn't hard, considering that the channel has become simply unwatchable--but then it seems that they just go after viewers who aren't really interested in news to begin with.

AFter being shocked at the thought that Lila would be bad-mouthing Cindy, I was relieved to hear the end of the story. Somebody at CNN must have taken a hit for the screw-up, but what sort of person would Lila have to have turned into to be prepared to say the things they obviously expected from her?

A whore, a pimp and a puppet all in one!

Lila would have had to become a whore for the war brigade. In order to make war you need pimps to sell it. Of course, the pimps who sold it to America had an easy job since most American's have been dumbed down to the media's sound bite level.
Does anybody really think Colin Powell was anything but a pimp for bush? He still stands by his dreadful, public speech concnering WMD. He still has yet to apologize for misleading. He's still a whore, a pimp and a puppet in my humble opinion.
Lila, in other words, would have had to stoop to Colin Powell's level.
