Yesterday is the day when Twitter thoroughly beat CNN. Badly beat CNN. Embarrassingly beat CNN. And most other USA-based media too.
Over on friendfeed we’ve been talking about this for the past 12 hours. Here’s one thread on CNN’s horrid news judgment.
This second thread is interesting because of the number of interesting news sources linked to by various people. Don’t miss the photos and videos. Great examples of photojournalism.
ReadWriteWeb wrote a good post to CNN.
I’ve been clicking “like” on the best items about Iran that have come through friendfeed. The photo above I found on TwitPic here. Pulitzer Prize winning material.

I love it!
It was embarrassing actually turning on CNN and discovering Larry King interviewing the Tuttles of American Chopper.
While Tehran was burning, Larry King was fiddling.
Actually I sort of did forget them, but I will pay closer attention.

That same newspaper could be found in my yard this morning.
And it has never even mentioned, not one mention, of the illegal firing of that Americore guy.
That paper is not worth anything much. They cut out a lot of stuff people liked and spent a whole page devoted to doing without a refrigerator. As if !!!
I’d drop them but DP likes the sports section. Even that is biased.
Take that CNN...
That is a joke right? Why are they even there if not to report the news. We no longer have any reporters. ( or should I say way too few)
Almost all the journalists have turned traitorous, and they are just as guilty as Obama and his cronies.
I wish for a return to nationalist patriotic reporters who pursue the facts instead of traitorous journalists who pursue their negative agendas. Do you?
Not that it was much of a contest. ;’) Thanks Ernest.
There will be blood. Yea. The blood of the small groups of university students who get their brains beat in by the government’s thugs.
Thanks for the links.
I hear you! I keep my subscription so I can see what is/is not being reported with my own two eyes....and the coupons. :)
There may have been more respect by journalists for their audience and country in the past, but I fear we would have deeply into our history.
For instance, a now defunct Chicago newspaper reported during WWII that the US had broken the Japanese code after the Battle Of Midway. Our military had a heck of a time during Iwo Jima due to that report. The editor had an ax to grind with FDR.
Walter Cronkite and the Tet offensive.
That's just two examples and there are many more.
It is just so out in the open that the “power of the pen” rules, they have become proud and blatant.
we would have “to dig” deeply
Citizen journalism BUMP!
