<<I'd be willing to bet that if you ran a news service, the only stories would be government censored stories and that the ratings would be very low. What would you do if you ran CNN?>> Your "blindness" is almost laughable. You have successfully joined the ranks of the millions of other "lemmings" out there who believe everything they see on CNN as if it were written in stone. Wasn't it Lenin who said "All men can be conditioned."

You are not only a great hater, you are also a great ranter. You pretend to know what I would do if I ran CNN. As about so much else on this thread, you're dead wrong. If you really want to know what I would do if I had a TV network, look at combination of the BBC over the last 20 years and CBS during the Edward Murrow days, mix together, toss in some 60 minutes from the early days, and you have a pretty fair idea of what I would shoot for. It's called objective, fair, hard-hitting news. Something Ted Turner and Jane Fonda and their good buddies in the White House (who they worked hard to elect and work even harder now to whitewash) know virtually nothing about. So climb back off your high horse, which is heading you off even further into the desert than you were before, and try coming back to some sort of reality.
