Even in China today, people recognize CNN as a pack of liars. In fact, there is a new idiom in China. When they want to call someone on an obvious lie, they say in Chinese “Are you CNN?”
Too bad because they had the best coverage of the Sikh shooting when it was live.
Did MSNBC have Olympic coverage? If they did it didn’t help much.
“they say in Chinese “Are you CNN?”
Ni shih CNN ma?
Saturday daytime: MSNBC received the SAME number in both the 25-54 AND 35-64 age demos? There must be a mistake.
If I am going to watch the olympics, I prefer to stay away from MSNBC.
Again we are faced with the vexing question, should we post on the weekend ratings page?
Should we keeping posting on the Friday ratings page and wait for the Monday ratings to come out?
Or should we wait to post on the Monday ratings page because it usally comes out soon after the weekend ratings page?
We all face this difficult and agonizing decision every Tuesday afternoon.
I’m with you, Papa.
Journalism is dead in America, it’s all politics. Fox News is less than CNN. CNN is obviously favoring Obama and Democrats.
