Gee, another lying neo-scum bastard, as if Glenn Blockhead wasn’t enough. CNN, I’m still not watching and I wouldn’t trust you guys to report the weather.

CNN was once both the template and the standard for all-news networks. These days it’s been literally unwatchable for quite some time. Hiring a hack and a liar like Stephen Hayes all but completes CNN’s long swan dive.

More so than any hire in recent memory, CNN should have been embarrassed for even considering inking Hayes. Instead they trumpet his arrival as if it were a coup.

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

CNN is not to be trusted , because they no longer are a news network , but just an infotainment network hell bent on getting ratings and informing the public last and if you can squeeze in some pro government propaganda , fashizzel .
From the tired, contrived ” debates between Brazile and the short of personality Bennett, to blitzers monotonous, monotone shtick fabricating issues like ..” the Democrats are walking a fine, between over confidence and thinking they can win ” According to who Blitzer ? YOU ?
Then lets us not forget seeking authorization from the Pentagon while providing employment and opportunity to spread pro government propaganda, to every other war mongering , weapons rep General and colonel to Hiring PSYOPS from U.S. military to work as ” interns” in the late 90s and when afghan civilians were and still are getting blown up by the thousands, by U.S. bombs , zionist and government lapdog CNN head said ‘’seems perverse to focus too much on the casualties or hardship in Afghanistan.” – isaccson , the perverse , so called journalist .

CNN hires the only person in the whole world who made his reputation by lavishing praise on Dick Cheney. I mean WTF.

It’s a ratings grab.

CNN has consistently latched onto these Weekly Standard-type talking heads — all of whom are devoid of knowledge, substance, or intellect, but all of whom have a built-in audience of willing receptors — in a lame, misguided, and empirically flawed attempt to catch up on Fox News.

I say that not as a fan of Fox News — God forbid — but as someone who suspects that CNN is suffering from a massive chip on its shoulder: “We invented cable news!”

So they pimp themselves in the false equivalency game, call it “ideological diversity,” and continue to expect their ratings to go up.

The ratings don’t, of course, so they dump their neocon dork infatuation of the moment and run out and hire another.

So. It looks like CNN is following the FAUX pattern of giving BS the same standing as factual information.

CageyCretin Says:

How many Goebbels does the GOP need?\

More, obviously.

As many as they can get, at this point.

Plus several.

The ones they got ain’t working so good, what with reality eating their lunches and all.

If we can get past the anti-science republican bullies, non-intellectuals like this freak that have been proven wrong and yet still have a voice will become obsolete. I believe it’s the anti-science culture that has permeated here that has allowed people proven wrong time and again to continue.

“Steve will help CNN in its commitment to go beyond political spin and present viewers with the most in-depth and bipartisan insights.”

It’s all part of Dick Cheney’s Running Man 2009.

Maybe he’ll be on ‘AC-180′.

Anderson Cooper, the guy who retells today’s news every night.
‘360′, my ass, he’s doing a ‘180′ anytime I’ve listened.

Cheney / Wet Kiss…arrrggghhhh!

“He published a book — tellingly wafer-thin and with large type in its hardcover edition — called “The Connection.””

Did his book include the cartoon drawings of Saddam’s mobile biological weapons labs that Colin Powell showed to the UN?

I quit watching the cable channel that hired Glenn Beck a couple of years ago and this ranks right up there with that joke. I will never watch this channel again as long as they have biased reporting on the right. We already have FAUX and do not need another.
