The weak link in any plan of this sort is that CNN has been losing market share for quite some time...their own poor quality undermines any chance at influencing a large segment of society.
Yes, but they still hold significant market share,
and a vastly greater international marketshare.
And they are far from alone in wanting to
"bring down" the Bush Admin & the Republicans.
Perhaps figuring the loss of audience share can
be sustainable, until they acheive their ends.
Then, of course, thery can start using positive
manipulation, to makepeople feel good about "getting
rid" of the "evil liars".
