9/11: Coverage of the Attack on the Pentagon From CNN

As I'm sure you know, soon after 9/11 the media disallowed the showing of the tragic events of that day.  Many have forgotten the horrors of that day, the shock that ran down your spine as you first learned that a plane had hit one of the World Trade Center Towers.  Many have forgotten what we are fighting against and why a War on Terror, which this President refuses to even say, was and is so necessary.  But we remember.  We remember the brave men and women who died when cowards attacked us that early September morning.  We remember the tears we shed, we remember the love we held for every American that day.

From now until midnight, we will be featuring videos of that horrific day, lest we forget.  This is the  live coverage from CNN, September 11, 2001:

I feel bad for CNN.

Note: Below mentioned numbers are from May 19th broadcasts.

Before Dish Network expanded their cheapest coverage to Fox News; I was stuck with CNN and Headline News (usually the latter) on a regular basis, which I could deal with, even though their coverage was liberally biased. So I guess you could say that I have a soft spot for CNN, though I probably will never watch them again.

However, with the latest TV News Ratings being reported from Mediaite; I feel bad for CNN. It's a shame that any television network using their Constitutional right to report news is failing, but it's also justified that this particular television network is failing, due to their disgusting lies and biased reporting.

How bad is it for CNN

5pm - Wolf Blitzer - 506,000 viewers.
6pm - Wolf Blitzer - 509,000 viewers.
7pm - John King - 406,000 viewers.
8pm - C. Brown* - 353,000 viewers.
9pm - Larry King - 420,000 viewers.
10pm - A. Cooper - 560,000 viewers.
11pm - A. Cooper - 362,000 viewers.

Now compare those numbers with Fox News:

5pm - Glenn Beck - 2.2 million viewers.
6pm - Bret Baier - 1.9 million viewers.
7pm - S. Smith - 1.1 million viewers.
8pm - O'reilly - 2.8 million viewers.
9pm - Hannity - 1.8 million viewers.
10pm - Greta - 1.5 million viewers.
11pm - O'Reilly - 1.3 million viewers.

Ouch.

CNN cannot compete with a rerun of Bill O'Reilly, worse; they cannot compete with a rerun of Keith Olbermann. Unless some serious shaking and a switching occurs at CNN immediately, it will go the way of the dodo bird. But such fate can be avoided, if CNN decides to compete in the marketplace instead of pander to the base.

So what must CNN do to survive?

1. Replace John King with a Conservative Populist such as Lou Dobbs.
2. Model their 8pm timeslot like Fox News & hire a fair minded centrist.
3. Replace Anderson Cooper for the 11pm/second hour slot.
4. Hire me to become a columnist, commentator or host on their network**.

It's not rocket science - increase the amount of Conservatism on your network, replace biased liberals with fair and balanced centrists, and compete instead of pander. That's all CNN needs to do to succeed once again.

* - Brown is no longer with the network.
** - Never will happen, but I can hope.

Damning: CNN Poll Has Obama Approval Under 50%

Gallup, Rasmussen, and Fox News Polls Have President's Approval Under 50% as Well

For the last few weeks, I have been closely monitoring the Presidential Approval Rating of Barack Obama. In that time, I have noted the times when he fell below fifty percent by at least three polling sources. Yet, I have recieved numerous complaints saying that my sources are "biased," and that the President's approval rating is much higher than what they were showing.

Now, the facts are in.

CNN now tracks the President's approval at 48%. Regardless of the fact that Fox News, Gallup, and Rasmussen confirm that Mr. Obama's approval is under 50%, CNN's poll can speak for itself. It cannot be argued that CNN has it out for the President, that they want him to fail, that they are biased against him. Using the logic of those who stated that we cannot use the numbers of Rasmussen or Fox, I will only use CNN's:

Our President's Approval is at 48% and his Disapproval is at 50%. In other words, more people disapprove of how the President is handling his job than those who approve.

The Honeymoon is officially over. The facts cannot be denied.

Crochety Old Man: Obama Cowering

Jack Cafferty is a relic at CNN. Cynical and always willing to complain, Cafferty was frequently eager to criticize President Bush during his years in office. Barack Obama was different... Cafferty's stone heart appeared to pump again and the Senator-turned-President engendered a more positive attitude.

That appears to be changing slightly. It's not that I really take Cafferty that seriously (and neither should you) but it appears that his return to morose cynicism marks the first major defeat of the Obama Administration with the health care debacle.

The honeymoon period appears to have ended and the glib adoration of Obama by many is under reconsideration.

Just take Cafferty's statements and viewer responses yesterday as an example. Ramon from California writes:

It means President Obama is willing to sell out millions of his supporters so he can placate a handful of senators who are in bed with the insurance industry. For goodness sakes, can the Democrats ever win? I thought we did last November. This isn’t the change we voted for. It’s pathetic.

It is pathetic. More and more Americans appear to realize the depths of which they were duped last November and if even crotchety Cafferty sees this, we may be making progress.
