Subject: RE: BS: politics: Very disappointed in CNN today
Like I've said, if you don't have internet you're not going to get much from CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC or PBS. I watched CNN all day on Saturday and there just wasn't too much coverage and when there was the information was evasive. Instead of saying that a half a million (more like 750,000) were protesting in New York City they used the term "thousands". Now unless I knew better, I would think maybe a few thousand. I wouldn't think "hundred" of thousands.

That is pathetic. If 2,000 pro Bush folks had deomstrated in New York City on Saturday, I'm sure it would have recieved a lot more coverage, just as the 20 or so proBushies received in Washington, D.C. last month. But same deal. A few thousand.... blah, blah, blah... It was a half a million, Herbie, against 20! And the 20 got the same amount of press coverage...

Go figure.

All we are asking for is for the media to, ahhh, tell the friggin' truth.

Oh, that's not in the Bush Plan????

I see...
