GUEST,Anti-war moderate BS: politics: Very disappointed in CNN today (92* d) BS: politics: Very disappointed in CNN today 16 Feb 03


I am extremely disappointed in CNN today. They have gone out of their way to completely ignore one of the biggest stories of my lifetime.

Far more than a million people on this planet were out demonstrating against war yesterday.

If that isn't THE story for today, what in Heaven's name IS?

All day long I've tuned in and out to see them discussing the huge implications of the protest, and there has been nothing!

I've seen Tom Ridge talking about duct tape, and Jonah Goldberg showing baby pictures. Donna Brazile talking about Democrats who mught run for President.

OK, all day the PLANS for war have been discussed, just as they have been for several weeks, but NOTHING about the largest protest of our lifetimes. I KNOW the demonstrations make Bush look very bad, but it's still the news. Isn't that what we criticize OTHER countries for?

I've always thought that CNN was reasonably independant. Was that my mistake? Did the WORD come down to completely ignore the story? Has this happened before?


How are other TV news outlets around Mudcat range handling it?

Ticked off
