What else did you expect from CNN? I'm sure Fox News will have a much better broadcast, anyway.
ABC Radio News now playing pre-recorded Barbara Walters "bio" of Reagan.
Apparently people are, in droves. Trashing President Reagan on the day of his passing is a VERY stupid move, from a ratings perspective. Like a junkie craving the drugs he knows are going to kill him, the lib media just can't help themselves.
damn cnnabcnbcmsnbccbs and all of that trash...My first vote was for Mr. Reagan. I pledge never to back off my support of this great man. I want to say more but im not a wordsmith and other freepers are more eloquent than I.
A big part of the enemy within.....
FRegards,
Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
Sunward I've climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth
Of sun-split clouds -- and done a hundred things
You have not dreamed of -- wheeled and soared and swung
High in the sunlit silence. Hov'ring there,
I've chased the shouting wind along, and flung
My eager craft through footless halls of air.
Up, up the long, delirious burning blue,
I've topped the windswept heights with easy grace
Where never lark, or even eagle flew.
And, while with silent, lifting mind I've trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
--John Gillespie Magee, Jr. (1922-1941)
"Fox has taken a few swipes as well, usually though by a "talking head".
I have been watching fox since the news broke...I have seen nothing but great words for a great man.
ABC radio "news" finally offered respectful comments on President Reagan's death. This was at 3 PM PDT and heard on KSFO San Francisco. My post above (#21) described how ABC radio "news" trashed the memory of Reagan in their 2 PM "news." I guess the 2PM edition was strictly an uncontrolable emotional outburst and was their "compassionate" liberal DU-voice talking.
Dearest Freepers........don't listen to the garbage being spewed by the most disgusting mediawhores cnn/nbc/cbs/abc/msnbc.....I have been watching Fox and they are doing a pretty decent job, so far.
We should email Fox and let them have our thanks for honoring President Reagan HONORABLY. Maybe they will keep it up if we let them know. Let them know we actually want to see clips,etc. of President Reagan "SPEAKING." It's much better than "talking heads" talking about him. Let us HEAR him doing his own talking. He was great at it.
DON'T watch the other networks if possible. They are going to do their best to drag Reagan down. Keep your spirits high and rejoice in the FACT that we have been left with the LEGACY of one of the greatest men in our lifetime.
This constant NEGATIVITY coming from the liberal media will do NOTHING but piss the American people off MORE THAN THEY ALREADY ARE. It will help to pull the country together.
God bless President Reagan and his family.
Excellent occasion for this great poem.
I don't think so. FNC will be the only network to provide a Fair & Balanced look at Reagan life and not mention the fiction of Iran Contra.
Yes, obviously the liberal networks have no respect for the great man in R.W. Reagan.
