How does that rate on the Warp scale?

A bit over warp factor 2.

Piers Morgan is a certified idiot who doesn't understand capitalism or economics. He makes me sick!

Morgan makes King look smart and unbiased. That's hard to do!!!!

LOL. I saw the chart but not your final sentence, so I guesstimated, and came up with the same...roughly Warp 2.

All of which means that BOTH Spock and Data are much smarter than me because they’d have it to at least three decimal places. :>)

The CNN reporter in the video is Charles Jaco. Can you believe that Jaco is still on television? He’s a reporter at a TV station in St Louis. Hates the Tea Party.........

I remember him. He was the one that nearly jumped out of his skin in Baghdad during the first gulf war. He was such a sissy - they replaced him with Amanpour, who at least could deliver her report with out jumping at every little noise.

I don't know how he ever even had the nerve to show his face on TV. I always switch channels when he comes on. He also said that Obama care was a bill that had some truly wonderful stuff in it, and the opponents had been very successful at smearing it.

I don't care for him at all.

Janeway got the ship back...in a classic Star Trek “make science fiction crap up” fashion. Rent or stream the final 2 hour episode from Netflix for all the cheesy details. Star Fleet’s section 31 agents and the Fleet’s temporal intelligence agents would have been very “upset” at Janeway’s time travel antics!

Remember the cross eyed blond girl, Bobbie Batista (?).....She had Sean Hannity at the end of the stage and she used to put him down at every chance she got. Where’s Bobbie today??? Where’s Sean today???

I lived in Germany from 1993 to 2009, and CNN International was one of the only two news channels I could get (Sky News with strictly UK news was the other). Up until the Bush era....CNN International was mostly neutral and just pure news. Then, it went to a radical change. Within a year or two...it was full-turbo anti-US. The journalist (I hate to even use that word) would go through a four-minute interview with someone spouting off a very negative view of the US, and then he’d just look at the screen with ‘puppy eyes’....giving you the impression that you just had to believe the interview. It was some kind of comical mental news attempt.

Who watches CNN International? To be truthful....most regular people never watch it....it’s strictly the university-educated and elite. They truly believe everything that CNN International puts on. It’s like a propaganda machine.

After her CNN gig she popped up here in Toronto doing a local radio show. According to wiki she moved here because of her now ex hubby. I never saw her but she also did television up here for CBC newsworld. What she is doing today or where I have no idea but if I see her on the street one day I’ll say hi for you. :) The following is her from her wiki entry.

Post-CNN

After CNN, Russell wrote her autobiography, How to Win Friends, Kick Ass, and Influence People (1999), and is a licensed private detective and sheriff’s deputy. She has 2nd degree black belt in the martial art of Choi Kwang- do. She also made hand-crafted lampshades and sold them from her Web site, but she stopped the business at least temporarily since moving to Canada in 2005.

Russell and her then-husband, Thomas Beck, moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada in July 2005. Beck, a German citizen, is the current president and CEO of the Canadian German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. They separated in 2010. In May 2006, Russell became a news reader for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation’s CBC Newsworld all-news cable channel. She has said previously that her goal was to ease herself into the role of news reader part-time and, as a result, can be seen during the late afternoon and evening hours of Fridays anchoring CBC Newsworld’s one-minute headline-style newscast (CBC News: Now) at the top of every hour, between 6 p.m. and 12 a.m. EST. During the summer months, she also fills in as news anchor of various news programs, including the Newsworld’s flagship CBC News: Today.

Russell presented on CFRB-1010 AM radio in Toronto for her new Saturday afternoon show from 2008 to 2010. In 2008 she hosted the 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. time slot.

Yeah, the first time I watched Fox News I was amazed, it actually was “fair and balanced”. I was even convinced for a while that it leaned slightly to the right. Now I see it as merely a foil for the others like MSNothingButCrap. It is amazing to see them point to Fox as the demonic news source possessed by extreme right wing devils when many conservatives have stopped watching Fox because it is TOO MUCH LIKE MSNBC. Shep is a clown as is BOR and Hannity is too much like a kiddie show to be taken seriously. Hannity on the radio is bizarre with the same black Democrat callers constantly telling Hannity how wrong he is but they love him dearly anyway while he gives them free gifts for calling in and making no sense. This is interspersed with repetitions of how Hannity worked so hard to get through school. I hardly ever turn on a radio any longer, there is no music worth hearing and now almost no talk worth hearing.

I do not remember her. On that awful December day in 1999, when Clinton was acquitted in the Senate, I ripped out cable and have never looked back.

Nah, they've pretty much generalized their bias these days. Communist News Network is a better fit.
