CNN Is Terrible. Here's Why.

CNN Is Terrible. Here's Why.:

'via Blog this'

hahahhahahahahhahahahahahhahah

CNN is terrible. A God-awful, wall-to-wall, epic mess. And now, they have, in their hands, the clearest sign yet of how bad things have actually gotten. This past April, CNN posted its lowest ratings in 10 years. TheNew York Times' Brian Stelter recently noted the slim upside, writing, "people tune in to CNN, the same way they hurry to a hospital when they think they are having a heart attack." But what news channel does CNN have to tune in to, to learn the gory details of its own longrunning, sad disaster? Good news: we are that news channel.

CNN, of course, has a proud legacy to fall back on, as it is the entity that kicked off the tradition of 24 hour cable news channels in the first place, and its coverage of the first Gulf War demonstrated that it had minted real newsgathering mettle. CNN founder Ted Turner, in a meta-theatrical appearance on Piers Morgan's show last night, noted that he "wanted CNN to be the New York Times for the news business." Instead, the network has fallen lower in esteem than the New York Mets, who people actually still watch, on the teevee.

Cue the handwringing! How did this happen, and what's to be done next? Well, if you listen to the people who run CNN, you will learn that they think April's ratings low "isn't much of a problem," and what needs to happen now is that management needs "to come up with a plan to restore momentum."

Shut up, people who run CNN! We have been watching CNN for a long time, because there is a television set in our midst that is constantly tuned to it, out of pity. And we've been noticing for a long time that all of the various innovations and "momentum-builders," combined with the very strange decisions made when it comes to coverage, invariably conspire and combine to make CNN steadily worse.

Here is what you are doing wrong, CNN.

Wolf Blitzer shills for the Romney campaign in the mommy wars

Don't Worry Dana Loesch whoever you are. You and CNN might one day live in a world where corporations are people too

CNN: Is Iran Planning An Attack In America? Congressman Peter King

Dumb girl gets her own show on CNN. If Iran launched a missile does America have any missiles they could launch to turn the whole country into the 18th hole of a gulf course. Thanks for the useful information CNN. We make up so you can decide.

Everything that the Mainstream Media Covered That LP didn't do as good a job at: The New Year's Version

Iowa was the biggest election in the history of mankind until it happened and then we found found out that the results really didn't matter at all. And we were off to New Hampshire. It didn't even matter who really won the Iowa Caucuses because they couldn't figure it out; though we were told the reason that they were restricting half the electorate from voting was to preserve the sanctity of the ballot.

The Republicans continued to socialize the front runner status. As Andy Warhol once said "Everyone would lead the Republican presidential field in 2011-2012 for fifteen minutes. And with it we bid adieu to old friend 999 and crazy lady.

Ron Paul refused to fight the next war, without the authorization of the Constitution, and because of that he is literally insane. Romney wants to fight the next war ten minutes after he's nominated, Gingrich will jump the gun and invade tomorrow before even New Hampshire, and Santorum will go to war before it's conception.

By the end of the week Mitt Inc. - the walking talking Frankenstein - left town in a commanding position. His only challengers are two Republican fur ball that have been coughed back up from the 1990s, when income inequality spiked through the roof. They have returned to pick up the mantels of change and the alternative candidate.

Quick give him Super Pac money before he hurts someone

Ron Paul's racial policy appears to go back to the founders. Though personally Paul was against slavery it really wasn't the government place to restrict the slave owner's liberties of taking their slaves away. Everything government touches is awful and it is only the slave owner's liberties that can preserve our rights.

It is great Doctor Paul has three signers of this document behind him. The Problem is that they are all slave owners by golly.

Iran needs to stop threatening the US in a region of the world so close to our interest. Even the tension took a step forward when US warships rescued 13 Iranians kidnapped by Somali pirates. This is our media leaves us with the impression that the the Iranian people will be eternally grateful to the Americans for even if they force us to flatten their cities and wipe out scores of their civilians.

Fox covered the rise in child prostitution  in major American cities, with a sexy little boot in a strip club for the opening. Strippers did a good thirty second lap dance, where you can easily make out their still meagerly clothed and grinding torsoes though to be tasteful they never shows their faces. Then they cut away to a psychiatrist who mumbles something profound about something, but we soon get back to one last shot of the stripping. The anchor host then announces that we're getting this problem under control but we the audience are left reassured that we'll probably be back to the strip club next week for some more stock footage. While at least it answers the question of where all the Fox camera men are hanging out.

Clips of Iowans voting by paper were too boring for cable television. CNN decided they needed little techno avatars declaring for a candidate, like fancy technology can make up for the fact that they are actually saying nothing.

Actual low tech voting

High tech bullshit

In New Hampshire why are three smaller minded people kicking the crap out of each other while the corporately funded Teflon candidate skates by. I think some of them hope for a job once this charade is over.

Just Silly. The CNN debate and how unimportant the issues are to anyone there. It's all a big show.

Maybe They should have dressed differently to match the solemnity of the occasion

The rest of the candidates

Anybody interested in joining the Republican candidates may want to bush through the list of superheroes and what their powers will be from a list of heroes in England's the Independent and submit your resume to CNN (i.e. the most trusted name in news)

FLASH GORDON

Back story: Stranded on Planet Mongo after inventor Dr Zarkov's rocket ship crashes, Flash Gordon finds himself drawn into a civil war. First published in 1934, and popularised by the TV series starring Buster Crabbe, the story of clashing civilisations found parallels in the build up to the Second World War.

Arch enemy: The fiendishly Oriental Emperor Ming the Merciless. We know he's a bad man because he wears smoking jackets and lusts after Flash's companion, Dale Arden. Later versions of the story have, understandably, played down the racial stereotyping.

Top power? A stiff upper lip.

In brief... Fu Manchu in space.

SILVER SURFER

(pictured right, with the Green Lantern)

Back story: A herald for the planet-eating being Galactus, the Surfer betrayed his master when he found Earth. For his insolence, he was imprisoned here, where he learnt of Earth ways from the blind sculptress Alicia Masters.

The look: Refugee from Seventies rock opera.

Top power: His board can travel at 99.9 per cent the speed of light.

Super issues? The Surfer is lonely, but only in a very cosmic way, man.

In brief... ET surf home.

THE HUMAN TORCH

Back story: Invisible Woman's all-American kid brother Johnny Storm lights up any room he's in.

The look: Big flaming condom stuffed with walnuts.

Top power: Apart from the obvious, he flies at the speed of sound.

Love interest: Made the mistake of marrying a shape-shifting alien. As you do.

Super issues? Continually flouncing out of the Fantastic Four, he can't have been pleased to have been removed from the animated TV series in case he encouraged children to set themselves alight. To add salt to the wound, his replacement was a robot called Herbie.

In brief... Don't try this at home.

DAREDEVIL

Back story: Blind lawyer Matt Murdock creates a crime-fighting alter ego to avenge his father's death after promising the old man that he will never resort to violence. "I figured Daredevil must be a Catholic," his creator, the cult comic-book writer Frank Miller, once said, "because only a Catholic could be both an attorney and a vigilante."

The look: Red body suit with DD logo. Not advisable for those with man boobs - or, indeed, anyone who is slightly out of shape.

Top power: Radar and heightened senses compensate for his loss of sight.

Love interest: A string of exes includes his legal secretary Karen Page, assassin and heiress Elektra Natchios and fellow superhero Black Widow.

Super issues? Brought up by his father after his mother became a nun, and tauntingly nicknamed Daredevil at school, he's had more breakdowns than Spiderman's spun webs.

In brief... David Blunkett with more Lycra.

BLADE

Back story: One of the first black comic-book heroes, played by Wesley Snipes in the 1998 film of the same name. Eric "Blade" Brooks is left with a taste for blood and a desire for revenge after his mother was bitten by a vampire doctor while she was pregnant with him. And people worry about MRSA.

The look: Macho Seventies street cool - although the bandolier filled with wooden stakes is a bit camp.

Top power: Immunity to vampire bites - and to fashion advice post-1977.

Super issues? As a half-vampire who hunts vampires, "the guy's got some serious self-hatred issues," says Marc Guggenheim, writer of the new Blade television series.

In brief... Shaft with silver bullets.

SPIDERMAN

Back story: After an irradiated spider bites school geek Peter Parker with predictable results, he takes up crime-fighting after letting a robber escape who later kills his Uncle Ben.

The look: A classic - as we were reminded when Ecuadorean Ivan Kaviedes donned a mask to celebrate scoring in the World Cup.

Arch enemy: The Green Goblin, who murdered his first girlfriend Gwen Stacy.

Top power: "Does whatever a spider can". But when did you last see ever seen a spider do anything remotely dramatic?

Super issues? Just the usual dead parents, who were killed by the Red Skull (see Captain America) while working for intelligence agencies.

In brief... Not to be confused with the Fathers for Justice.

BATMAN

Back story: Millionaire industrialist Bruce Wayne keeps the streets of Gotham City safe - but all anyone cares about is whether he's sleeping with Robin.

The look: An American survey revealed that while 8.4 per cent of children were planning to dress as Superman on Hallowe'en only 1.4 per cent wished to be Batman. Time for a redesign?

Arch enemies: The Joker, the Penguin, Catwoman. Batman was distinguished by attracting a better quality of foe.

Super issues? Like Spiderman, Bruce Wayne is tortured by the memory of his (wouldn't you know?) murdered parents.

In brief... Poor little rich boy does fancy dress.

GREEN CROSS CODE MAN

Back story: Faced with the choice of saving planets or helping children to cross the road, the Green Cross Code Man chose the latter. Bodybuilder Dave Prowse, who played the role, went on to play Darth Vader.

The look: Darth Vader's ineffectual brother.

Arch enemies: Children who fail to look both ways; the Tufty Club.

Top power: Looking very, very stern.

Super issues? Prowse has said it was the best job he ever had.

In brief... We can't all save the world.

SUPERMAN

Back story: Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it's the new Superman movie, Superman Returns, which premieres tonight in Los Angeles - 19 years after Christopher Reeve donned the tights for Superman III. After attempting to find the remains of his home planet Krypton, Superman returns to find that much has changed in his absence. Unknown 26-year-old Brandon Routh plays the man of steel .

The look: The famous cape gets a tidy-up but traditionalists have nothing to worry about.

Arch enemy: Lex Luthor (played by Keven Spacey) is newly out of prison and determined to exact revenge.

Super issues? If it's not bad enough finding that his entire race has been destroyed, Lois Lane (Kate Bosworth) is engaged to another man and has a child. Perhaps she's hear those rumours that he's gay.

In brief... If the franchise ain't broke, don't fix it.

THE THING

Back story: A college friend of Reed Richards (Mr Fantastic), the cigar-smoking Jewish New Yorker Benjamin Grimm was irradiated along with the rest of the Fantastic Four. Unlike the Hulk, the mutant Thing has a noble heart.

The look: Scaly orange beefcake but with better trousers than the Hulk.

Top power: The Thing's modus operandi is distinctly low-tech, as befits a character whose catchphrase is: "It's clobberin' time!"

Love interest: The blind sculptress Alicia Masters.

Super issues? He'd like to be Grimm again but Alicia likes him just the way he is.

In brief... A radioactive Beauty and the Beast fable.

CAPTAIN MARVEL

Back story: Radio reporter and all-round good egg Billy Batson assumes magic powers when he says the name of the wizard Shazam. In the 1940s, the Captain was more popular than Superman.

The look: Yellow flash on red suit. Lucky he was on the radio.

Arch enemy: Dr Thaddeus Bodog Sivana, who threatens to silence the airwaves.

Top power: His lightning bolt is the Swiss Army knife of superhero accessories, good for zapping people and removing stones from horses' hooves.

Super issues? Not really. The nearest he's come to a dark side is getting the Martian Manhunter addicted to cookies.

In brief... Superman Lite.

HELLBOY

Back story: Created in an infernal experiment by Nazi scientists, Hellboy is now the "world's greatest paranormal investigator".

The look: Strippergram devil with horns filed to stumps.

Top power: Hellboy's "right hand of doom" is useful for crushing Nazis, less so for typing or playing golf.

Love interest: Liz Sherman, who bursts into flame when he touches her.

Super issues? A trenchcoat-wearing loner, he loves firearms and his best friend is a mutant fish. What do you think?

In brief... Frankenstein's monster made good.

CAPTAIN AMERICA

Back story: Cartoonist Steven Rogers got his powers after volunteering to take a serum during a medical trial.

The look: Like a US speed-skater at the Winter Olympics.

Top power: Superfit but not superhuman, the Captain's only weapon is (pass the sickbag) a shield of liberty made of near-indestrucible vibranium.

Arch enemy: Former bellhop The Red Skull, a Nazi agent who later works for the Communists.

In brief... For domestic consumption only.

PROFESSOR X

Back story: Rendered paraplegic by a childhood accident involving an angry alien who dropped a stone on his legs, Charles Xavier (aka Professor X) founded the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, where he trains the X-Men.

The look: Professor X's Savile Row chic is belied by a wheelchair that looks more like a bumper car.

Top power: He's reputed to be the most powerful telepath on Earth.

Love interest: Xavier's marriage to Princess Majestrix Lilandra is not recognised on Earth. But he still holds a torch for the Scottish genetics expert Moira MacTaggert, whom he met while studying at Oxford University

Arch enemy: His former friend Magneto, founder of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants. Magneto's original name is Eric, which makes him seem less scary.

Super issues? Emotionally scarred in childhood. One of his earliest uses of his telepathic powers was to read the mind of his gold-digging stepfather.

In brief... Poster boy for baldies, and the disabled.

CAPTAIN CANUCK

Back story: In a future society where Canada is the world's superpower, a former Mountie, Tom Evans, dons the jumpsuit after being zapped with alien rays. The most famous in a line of Canadian superheroes that includes Nelvana, Johnny Canuck and Canada Jack.

The look: The maple-leaf face paint is unlikely to be copied.

Top power: Not being American.

Super issues? Not being American.

In brief... A flying inferiority complex.

TANK GIRL

Back story: She's Australian, lives in a tank, and has sex with a kangaroo. Little wonder that the Hollywood version of writer Alan Martin and artist Jamie Hewlett's cartoon strip bombed at the box office. Hewlett has since gone on to form Gorillaz with Damon Albarn.

The look: Sydney mall rat.

Love interest: Half-human, half-kangaroo boyfriend.

Top power: Teenage attitude.

Super issues? It's just a phase.

In brief... Every parent's worst nightmare.

THE HULK

Back story: While developing a "gamma bomb" for the US government, Dr Robert Bruce Banner was exposed to radiation. Created by Marvel Comics in 1962, The Hulk was initially grey, only becoming green because it printed more consistently.

The look: The Hulk pioneered distressed denim.

Love interest: Was married to Betty Ross (the daughter of an American general who tried to destroy him) but he accidentally killed her with his gamma radiation.

Top power: Keeping his trousers on while losing all his other clothes.

Super issues? Where do you start? Abused as a child by his scientist father, the Hulk suffers from both a bad anger management problem and a multiple personality disorder.

In brief... The son-in-law from hell.

WONDER WOMAN

Back story: First came to "man's world" after a plane crash on Paradise Island. Created in 1941 by William Moulton Marston (inventor of the lie-detector), was designed to be a role model for young women.

The look: The official camisole and panty set - based on the clothes worn by Lynda Carter in the 1970s TV series and licensed by DC Comics - $24.99 on the Web.

Top power: Her lasso, created from the Magic Girdle of Aphrodite, compelled anyone caught in it to tell the truth.

Love interest: Romantically linked to Superman in several stories, Wonder Woman has also snogged Batman and Aquaman, the tart.

Super issues? A barely concealed passion for tying up and being tied up is a recurring factor, although this probably says as much about William Marston as it does about Wonder Woman herself.

In brief... The original Spice Girl.

JUDGE DREDD

Back story: In Mega City One, 122 years in the future, Judge Dredd is also policeman and executioner. There's no namby-pamby talk about sentencing guidelines. "I am the law," he says. "Democracy is not for the people." The British strip has appeared in 2001AD magazine since 1977.

The look: Eighties' shoulder pads and fancier epaulettes than a conference of South American generals.

Arch enemy: Low-lives, scum

bags, pretty much everyone else.

Love interest: Despite the attentions of Judge Galen de Marco, none.

In brief... Not to be confused with Judge John Deed. Not to be messed with.

THE INVISIBLE WOMAN

The look: Emma Peel meets young Margaret Thatcher.

Love interest: Once had the hots for the Sub-Mariner but now married.

Top power: Being invisible was dull, so she was given the ability to create force fields.

Super issues? Burdened with a drunken a father and a mother who died in a car crash, she has was forced to become surrogate mother to younger brother Johnny, aka The Human Torch. Must be difficult to be married to anyone called Mr Fantastic.

In brief... Invisible is how Mr Fantastic likes her.

Then They Should be more dressed up when they enter the arena

They could bring out a Mascot. If you don't want to use cattle then maybe a bald eagle

And then to show the seriousness of the situation they can do the Ray Lewis dance onto the stage

Hacked and Attacked: How Piers Morgan's Fabricated Story Almost Ruined This Reporter

Monday 8 August 2011

by: Greg Palast, Exclusive for Truthout/Buzzflash | News Analysis

I am not surprised that Piers Morgan has been outed for hacking phones (listening, in one case, to personal messages between Heather Mills and Paul McCartney.) I learned about the creepy antics of this one-man TV-host crime spree the hard way: as a victim of his crime-and-slime form of "journalism."

On September 29, 1998, Piers Morgan's Mirror ran a screaming full page headline: SEX SCANDAL ROCKS LABOUR CONFERENCE. His paper had caught a rival paper's reporter who'd broken into the hotel room of a comely, young, rising star of the Labour Party. The reporter was caught there half undressed.

I was that reporter.

And the story was a complete load of crap. But Morgan, "editor" of the Mirror, ran the report on Page One, and pages 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 - even though he knew it was fabricated. He knew because he had fabricated it.

Prime Minister Tony Blair's press chief personally thanked Morgan for running the bogus story.

This was not the first time Pirate Morgan had worked me over. Months earlier, on Page One again, he ran a full page photo of me (one that made me look bald!) under the words THE LIAR in letters bigger than the Mirror's headline, Hitler Defeated.

(Private Eye, the Onion of Britain, ran a response - a photo of me under the headline, IS THIS THE MOST EVIL MAN IN THE WORLD? by "Piers Moron.")

O.K., I'm bald. But I am not a liar. I was in that hotel room to get a story, not get the young lady's panties. But I did not break in. That's what Morgan would do. A sworn affidavit by the hotel clerk said the female in question had left me a key with instructions to meet her in her room.

In other words, I was set up like a bowling pin.

As an investigator, it is quite embarrassing to have fallen so easily into a honey trap, but the honey was quite something: I was lusting after information about her mentor, the man known in England as The Prince of Darkness, Peter Mandelson, or I should say, the Right Honorable Lord Mandelson.

I'd already busted open a story about how Mandelson, Blair's claw, Blair's Karl Rove, had aided a "cash-for-access" scheme by his lobbyist cronies. He helped fiddle a bid for a contract to run Britain's National Lottery to give the deal to the guys who ran the Texas Lottery. (If you smell George Bush's connection, you'd be right.)

The story I wrote for The Observer (The Guardian's Sunday paper), "Lobbygate: Cash For Access" won my co-writer Antony Barnett and I the British equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize - and nearly won me time in a lock-up: The Daily Mirror encouraged Mandelson's gal to file charges against me with the constabulary for breaking into her room - though they knew she left me the key.

This is not just fun and games. Piers' phony file on me was used by Reliant Corporation of Houston to attempt to discredit my investigative reports on their frighteningly dangerous operation of nuclear plants. (A judge in Holland threw the book at them.)

Maybe you don't care, but you should. Reliant is the company, under a new corporate alias, which has just been approved to receive the first multi-billion-dollar loan guarantee from the Obama administration to build a new nuclear plant. (Reliant's partner, by the way, is Tokyo Electric Power.)

Obviously, there's a hell of a lot more to this story. I could write a book - and I am. I've decided that, in the public interest, I will add a chapter to the book about Pus Moron, the nuclear hucksters of Houston and why it was that I was half undressed. (There really is an innocent, or nearly innocent, explanation, I promise you.)

Of course, by the time my book comes out in November, Piers may no longer be prancing about on CNN, but breaking rocks on a chain gang. However, CNN is reported as concluding that Morgan's fibs and fabrications - this is Morgan's third run-in with the law - would have "no effect" on his hosting on their network. This only confirms my experience with US television executives that when they need a new on-air journalist, they just wait for a toilet to overflow.

Greg Palast's investigative reports for BBC "Newsnight" can be seen at www.GregPalast.com. Sign-up there for information on Palast's forthcoming book, "Vultures' Picnic." Have information regarding Morgan, Mandelson or Reliant Corporation and its nuclear operations? Please go to www.GregPalast.com, click on "contact Greg."

Palast wishes to congratulate his colleagues at Newsnight and especially investigative producer extraordinaire Meirion Jones for ripping the media shield off Morgan. We look forward to Part 2. :)

Was the debt limit raised or would you like more crazy bread with that?

Wall Street is not happy with the US congress. One wonders if they can just fire the US representatives or do the have to wait four year to get rid of them. What kind of representational democracy is it when the rich can’t fire the people’s representatives.

Today the US unemployment dropped but there was no mention as to why. Did the people stop looking for work? Has the US economy started hiring. CNN = no explanation. Instead we get a 20 minute expose on Papa John’s pizza that tells us nothing but the fact that a number pizzas were delivered to Capital Hill is the excuse that is given as to why this twenty minute commercial is so important. Maybe CNN

CNN might try something different like playing it straight

CNN/Time Warner seems to be undergoing a nervous breakdown as we speak. The US might default on its debt sinking the whole world into Armageddon, the banks would melt, and the earth will open up at Wall Street and start swallowing up the United States. It brings to mind a little of coverage that proceeded the US taxpayers writing the banks a blank check, with a suggestion attached to it that the banks should pay us back if they felt like it. One wonders what role CNN is actually playing in these crises: someone who reports them or someone who helps create them.

One only wishes that CNN brought the same sense of urgency when it came to their prolonged unemployed viewers having their unemployment checks cut off. Or when their elderly viewers had their monthly income threatened but when that happened you were much more likely to get cold numerical analysis of the best way to “fix” the economy, from the most trusted name in news, and less likely to get hyperbole. One has to wonder at what point CNN’s business side has leaked into its news gathering division making its coverage nearly totally self-serving.

Here’s a suggestion for CNN try playing it straight. Report what both sides are saying. Then report the drama as it really happens and not as you imagine it would happen. As a matter of fact that’s probably good advice for the media in general and it would hold up in any event. The author apologizes that he has been on a cruise with CNN being one of the few channels he gets. At least he is thankful he does not get Fox as that would suggest he has not lead a virtuous life

One more post from HLN/CNN news

Is the government going too far handing out tickets to people who have saggy pants? This is news I want to know.

What happens when I turn to Time Warner and CNN for my news

Michael Moore famously said that “the US should be required to know where a country is before they bomb it.” The question is how is the American supposed to learn about it when the media places no value on news, but values the trivial over the substantial.

Where England’s BBC, “government television”, might focus an in-depth five or ten minute block on some obscure African country. We don’t worry about such things in the US. We don’t know anything and our press works hard not to trouble us with more facts than we need to know. One look at the CNN overseas shows that the network turns out one programming for Europeans whose intellect they respect and then it presents a localized watered down stupider version for the Americans.

This is just a random sampling of the television line-up for HLN, presented by CNN the most trusted name in news.

1. A polygamist who had been locked up for marrying a nine year old bride. And the struggles his former wives have with leaving the cult.

2. The Norwegian massacre. I‘m still puzzled how a real news story made it way on this channel.

3. Jesse James, whoever he is the gunfighter or Sandra Bullock‘s ex, is not getting married.

4. Octomum is surviving without a nanny taking care of all 14 kids herself.

5. Arnold and Maria’s son is injured on a boogie board. Recaps of who’s tweeting who and where. And who is serving whom papers. Arnold looks petty big mistake going into the divorce settlement.

I shut off the television.

6. Half an hour later Casey Anthony. Narcissistic syndrome. Is she unemployable? The newscaster talk about not understanding why anyone’s interested in Casey Anthony as they talk endlessly about her.

Come election time CNN will gladly help inform you on who to vote, as they done such a fine job giving you the news that matters to this point. They’ve been busy reporting the horse race from the first day of the Obama administration. Not only that but they got Nancy Grace too.
