I am still trying to figure out what CNN is.

1) Communist News Network
2) Cartoon News Network
3) Chicken Noodle News
4) Checken Noodle Network
5) Certainly Not News
6) Crappy News Network

So many names, so little time to watch them and figure our which one fits best. :coffee:

CNN is too conservative for me.


Rush and his buddies, T, Z and Baldy have referred to it as the "Clinton News Network".

He blasts CNN all the time; no way it's a 90/10 split. :coffee:

Stewart does what liberal posters do here - holds up Conk misbehavior before the lamp of truth The only difference is he makes millions doing it.

FNC does need an influx of new pussy... some of 'em are starting to age a little and new blood is warranted and needed, although that Dana Perino is kind of a MILF and the hoarse blond with fake tits who goes on O'Reilly one a week looks like she might be kinda' freaky fun.

Feel free to to disagree with anything I've posted from Greenwald or Taibbi. They both frequently take the Obama administration and Democrats to task on a variety of issues. It's called consistency...honesty. But yes, they both tend to be true progressives.

I like progressives. I also appreciate honest and consistent conservatives like Pat Buchannon, Joe Scarborough, Ron Paul.

But please continue... :popcorn:

Agreed, and I would also add in CNN. I've watched some of Stewart in the past, but not anymore for 2 reasons:
-the lib bias
-he usually wasn't funny.
