I don't watch CNN most the time, so I would not have seen it to comment on :) Heck I don't even watch Fox, I get my news online and from the voices in my head.

This is the second story on FR about CNN doing a story that went against it's reputation as having a liberal bias. What's going on down there in Atlanta?

"I was surprised to see it discussed on CNN"

What took them so long?

[Blood of Tyrants]

Zahn's market share has dropped to less than 1% lately. But I guess I should be thankful that it gets ANY airtime by the lamestram.

They probably found out that Mr. North and some of the Iraqi gentlemen are due to appear on FNC tomorrow.

The numbers may be influencing CNN.

For example, CNN (1.5 million apprx) and MSNBC (1 million apprx) combined coverage of President Bush's speech was approximately 1 million less than FoxNews (3.5 million apprx).

I walked into a Merchants Tire store yesterday with my ten year old. CNN happened to be on the TV while I was at the counter. My son watched all of five minutes of it and (without any prior comment from me) when we were done he told me "Those people are idiots. They're trying to claim that George Bush lied". If a ten year old can "get it", I still have hope.

I could not care one bit of what CNN puts on. I don't watch is any more.

[woofie]

If CNN did something right my congratulations to them

[jazzlite]

I did not see it but I applaude CNN for airing it. Our people have a right to this information.

[Rhetorical pi2]

CNN has not changed. On impulse, I watched Paula Zahn following President Bush's address Tuesday evening.

My wife and I were infuriated, and I dashed off an Email message to her, pointing out that - with one exception - her producers chose people who's hatred for the President was barely contained.

It was the first time in over a year that I had watched CNN for more than 3-4 seconds when clicking the remote. It will be at least that long before I watch again.

That few minutes we watched made it very clear to me why CNN's ratings are falling thru the floor.

[VOA]

The segment ran at least ten minutes and maybe fifteen. With all the complaints about
the media ignoring the documentary, I was surprised to see it discussed on CNN and
surprised to find no comment here.

1. I think there was a thread/article here in the last couple of weeks about
CNN moving to the center. Maybe this is part of the movement.
2. Zahn needs ratings.
3. And didn't this story have a few Texas angles? Maybe Zahn picked up on it
as (IIRC) she worked in the Houston market before going national.

[Terp]

I try and avoid CNN like a heart attack. My question is why do you waste your time watching it?

[BunnySlippers]

I agree. Give credit where it is due. Good documentary too.

[The South Texan]

CNN does something right every once in awhile. Sort of like a snow in south Texas, every 20 years or so.

[RoseofTexas]

Jeez, the Chicken Noodle Network numbers are in worse shape then I thought!

[VaBthang4]

You're condescending to us because CNN devoted a monumental 15 minutes out of a 1440 minute news cycle to a legitimate story?

Bro how lost are you?

[RandallFlagg]

For all of you complaining---
With all the complaints---

Did CNN happen to mention the fact that they themselves are guilty of covering up Saddam's nightmares just to keep, "In the know," in Iraq?

***crickets chirping***



I thought not.

One more thing: Am I the only one to notice the timeline? Monday, Mark Belling mentions all of this on Rush's show. Now, (slightly more) attention is brought to their story.
Cutting edge, indeed.
Megadittos, Rush. Ya did it even when you weren't there!
