Well, obviously hate works well for you.
I guess you were listening to the hate messages of Malcolm X and Farrakan, not to Martin Luther King.
Some of us are able to hate the sin without hating the sinner. Maybe some day you'll get there, too.
Meanwhile, you have good company in CNN, which also loves the war.
HOW CNN LEARNED TO LOVE THE BOMB, 'NIGHTLINE' TOO
There are reports tonight out of Yugoslavia of complete carnage and chaos
in the wake of the continued NATO bombing.
But hold on to your TIME WARNER stock, CNN again issues a press release
announcing that its TV ratings are booming with the bombings.
On the ground smoldering skeletons and a woman cut in half... a man's head
lying in a field with the wind blowing his brown hair against the grass,
and corpses lying in a squalid hospital nearby: details from the horror
scene of the refugee caravan bombing reported by London's INDEPENDENT
newspaper on Friday, coming only days after the passenger train bombing.
But to every story there's a silver lining. And down in Atlanta at CNN
headquarters, it's been press release after press release during the Crises
in Kosovo.
"In primetime, the network posted a 1.1 rating... an increase of 22%,"
rejoiced CNN's David Bittler and Alison Rudnick in a press release that
moved on AP EXPRESS wires midweek.
"The network series of four primetime Special Reports on the crisis in
Yugoslavia posted a 1.2 rating and delivered 895,000 households." Up.
Bittler and Rudnick point out increase by increase, daypart by daypart.
LATE EDITION airing Sunday on CNN "experienced increases of 100%" during
last week's NATO runs. CROSSFIRE lifts 38% over a year ago; INSIDE POLITICS
surged 80%. |
