CNN Hackery Nothing New


Wait til you see this!

There has been no shortage of digital ink on the despicable reporting on CNN by Susan Roesgen.  Here at RedState alone:

Objective CNN Reporter to Chicago Tea Party Attendee: “Why Are You Complaining? Don’t You Know Obama Gave Your State Billions in the Stimulus!?” – Jeff Emanuel

We Have a Winner! Absolutely, Positively WORST Tea Party Day Coverage in the Galaxy – Skanderbeg

Don’t Expect to See Jon Stewart Rail on Susan Roesgen Again – Moe Lane

A CNN Reporter’s Selective Outrage – Josh Painter

Avoiding Criticism: CNN Shuts Down Anti-Tea Party Reporter’s Email Address – Warner Todd Huston

And that is just on the front page.  There are dozens of other diaries along with hundreds of comments on this topic (including this diary that has video from the Founding Bloggers on what happend after CNN stopped rolling it’s cameras).

It’s important to keep in mind, that despite the networks slogan of being “The Most Trusted Name In News” (and who doesn’t love hearing Darth…er…James Earl Jones’s booming voice saying that?) they really have not earned that trust.

You see, back in the first Gulf War, CNN covered the “War in the Gulf” like no other network: They faked it.

That’s right.  That was actually aired on CNN.  {I know, I thought it was a spoof myself.}  That is none other than St. Louis’s own (KTVI Fox 2 and KTRS 550) hack Charles Jaco.  [Jaco has been a bit of hack on the Tea Parties himself: reporting the false narrative of astroturfing, calling us whiners on his radio show, and various other liberal talking points.]

So, when people start to wonder where CNN’s credibility has gone.  I wonder when they ever had it.

The difference between then and now? Only that in 1991, FoxNews was not born yet, and in 2009, FoxNews has over twice the audience.

Same message of slime and America-hating bilge.

For a minute, I thought he was lying about this one, seriously!

I half expected Will Ferrell to come prancing out halfway though the “broadcast” in that red, white and blue speedo he wore on SNL.

I guess I was disappointed (?)

This kind of schlop isn’t just annoying, or unfair…it’s dangerous! People foolishly trust the NAME “CNN”, but in reality, these hack journalists are the reason that anti-conservative bias has spread beyond the MSM and into everyday life.

They have been on a mission for a long time…people are only now starting to get it.

…but the result is just as embarrassing.

International

No surprise to me. When I used to work overseas, I would sometimes watch CNN International. Their coverage was, shall we say, less than balanced. Two examples:
1. A female CNN International reporter in Manila reporting on an “anti-American demonstration.” There were fewer than 10 people participating in this thing.
2. Another female reporter in Saddam’s Baghdad, describing what she called a “spontaneous” anti-American demonstration.

Oh yeah,

CNNi is much worse.

and that is saying something.
