From: "Gary Britt"
I agree that Greenfield can be interesting. I also thought the "black
guy" was decent. I've never minded Wolf either. Its not that CNN
doesn't have any decent reporters, its that CNN forces all their reporters
(most of whom run willingly) into a liberal world view centered
anti-republican, anti-conservative point of view.
I've been working out of town a bit recently, and the hotel where I'm
staying doesn't have Fox Cable News. For the first time in many many many
years, I was forced to watch CNN for my news fix. It was amazing to me how
positively awful are their shows. Their constant left wing bias was and is
so bad, so constant, so pervasive that even the CNN toilet paper in the
men's room must hang to the left. Its so bad that I am forced to change
the channel every few minutes because they do or say something so biased so
ridiculous that its either change the channel to I Love Lucy reruns or
throw my shoe through the picture tube.
