"Worst experience I ever had on television" I shall resist the temptation of calling him a whiny Liberal. He does make a valid point, that CNN is one of the most Liberal biased cable television networks out there. I ought to know, I used to watch CNN with Religious devotion, from day we moved to Lincoln Park from Detroit. I never was much of a Fox News watcher, I do know the difference between Political and Religious/Zionist Propaganda and legit news and political coverage. As to the bias against Hillary Clinton, I have no idea, I do not watch that network any longer. I stopped watching after CNN ran a special called "What is a Christian?" Which I felt was nothing more than a veiled slap in the face towards Christianity. I mean, they've never, ever ran a special called, "What is a Muslim?

During the turmoil in Tibet, CNN showed videos which the Chinese government insist were incorrect such as claiming people were being loaded on police trucks when the video on closer examination revealed they were being placed in an ambulance.

Why? Because of this article. What it's attempting to do is make it seem like Americans are being pathetic babies about the gas price thing. What's the problem with that? Well, first off they say in the article that the prices shown don't reflect wages...so my question is this: how can you presume to know whether Americans really don't have anything to bitch about if you aren't even taking into account the difference in wages from country to country? My girlfriend is from England, so I decided to use that as a basis, since it is often said that England has such ridiculous prices for gas (or petrol, if you will).Minimum wage in England is about 5.60 pounds. Roughly converted to U.S. dollars, that is $11.20. That's MINIMUM wage. For most states in the U.S. minimum wage is well under

CNN anchor Jack Cafferty has ticked off a few Chinese citizens. Cafferty was referring to Chinese exports as “junk”, and described the nation as “goons and thugs”. What’s funny is Cafferty is right. China is the largest country with human rights violations and they want to complain about our free press, and our right to free speech in our country. A Chinese citizen has the audacity to then sue one of our media outlets for comments made in America. A foreign Ministry spokeswoman had this to say about the comments. “We are shocked at, and strongly condemn, the vicious remarks against the Chinese people. We solemnly demand that CNN and Cafferty retract his vicious remarks and apologize to the whole Chinese people.” I’m violently ill thinking that CNN would even have to ac

When i watched the news this morning and saw the story about police cruisers using their cars to ram suspected wrong doers of color i nearly got a tear in my eye. Not because of how surprising the cop car dash camera footage was, i have seen this tactic dozens of times in real life. I have experienced police attitudes so many times and expect i will until the day i die, so it's really no big thing. What was a big thing is that now it can be seen by those who think (wrongly) that every black defendant or "runner" on television deserves what they get. I know how it looks from an outside perspective to someone who knows little if nothing about being poor and black in America.I can hear a hundred voices asking the obvious question, "why run if you are not guilty?"

I blog at night so you've probably heard this story 15 times today, but far be it from me to ignore the most hilarious tidbit in TV news today.CNN.com is notorious for ridiculous headlines. It works for the web because it gets you to read the article, or even commit three minutes to a video (complete with advertisements).But now the Cable News Network is getting wise and has decided to make a buck of their witty copy editing. When you logged on to CNN.com today you may have noticed small t-shirt icons next to some of the news stories. That's right, if you got a small chuckle from the headline, you can put it on a shirt.Some of today's t-shirt worthy headlines included:'Hips Don't Lie' singer pushes educationLaw would penalize homeWeird fish leave sea, spawn on beachI'm a big fan of novelty

Woot, more conservative firepower to a liberal network. Politico Shenanigans keeps hearing from anonymous friends that former FNC’er and WH’er Tony Snow is headed over to CNN.

CNN apparently has a function where you can choose a current headline and have it printed on a t-shirt for USD 15:- plus shipping. That's no big deal, but the fun part is that you can hack the URL to show the headline of your own choosing. Or write just about anything you like. Try it. Here's the link to the t-shirt we just made (a bit of wishful thinking perhaps, but why not?). Make your own before they close it down.

Wow, there haven't been this many China enthusiasts since back in the day when Barack Obama's Weathermen buddies wouldn't be caught dead without Chairman Mao's little red book. Last week CNN's resident curmudgeon, Jack Cafferty, made the startling observation that China exports a lot of “junk” and that their leaders are more or less the same type of goons they have always been.The Chinese government demanded an apology. Today thousands of protesters gathered outside CNN's Hollywood studio. One of the leaders, Lake Wang , told the LA Times:“We understand free speech. But what if Cafferty said this about other racial groups? I think he would be fired.

I just wish CNN would just plaster on their front page that they have endorsed Senator Obama. It would make all of our lives easier. I'm so sick of CNN picking and choosing which polls they want to report on. Granted while the LA Times/Bloomberg poll shows Obama ahead in Indiana by 5 points, they fail to mention the fact that a Survey USA poll released on Tuesday shows Clinton ahead by 16 points, but we won't see that on CNN only the numbers that put Obama ahead. I'm not disputing the poll results, but CNN needs to stop taking sides and start reporting the results fair and balanced. Then again that would be like asking Fox News to do the same thing.

He was speaking about the U.S. trade deficit with China when he said, according to the transcript, "We continue to import their junk with the lead paint on them and the poisoned pet food and export, you know, jobs to places where you can pay workers a dollar a month to turn out the stuff that we're buying from Wal-Mart."

CNN.com recently had a very succinct article on the best credit cards out in the market place for different consumer spending needs. I tend to use my credit cards for most purchases, in order to get the reward points or cash back offers.

I have three main credits cards - one for online shopping, one for everyday purchases & one as a back-up. I was glad to see that the credit card I used for my every day purchases - American Express Blue Cash - was the recommended as the best credit card in its category.

Here’s a piece that ran on CNN about the genetics research angle of autism.  Pretty good, I should say.  When we were first ‘finding out’ about autism with regards to Super D, we were living in Southern California and the condition was just ‘mainstreaming’….Time ran a piece on it (front cover) and it mentioned at the time that the largest number of autistic boys being diagnosed were in Southern California.  The piece I highlighted above mentions the above average numbers in New Jersey.  It can only lead one to speculate that there is something environmental in all of this.  I wonder if you see way above average numbers in most urban/suburban areas….and if it can be measured in a way that discounts the percentage due to more people living there.

CNN is continuing its shameful treatment of persons with severe Autism Disorder. If your only knowledge of autism was garnered from viewing CNN broadcasts or blogs you might think that autism is not a disorder, that every autistic person finds a way to communicate and that all autistic persons live happily ever after. You would not know that many persons with severe Autism Disorder, not Aspergers, not PDD-NOS, but Autism Disorder with profound developmental delays, require constant care and supervision. Some live their lives in residential and institutional care facilities. Some are assaulted in their residential facilities and lack the communication ability to express themselves to others. You would not know these things because CNN does not cover the "feel bad" autism stories, only t

CNN has offered a number of features on autism over the past few years. For reasons that remain unknown to many parents of autistic children CNN with all its resources and with its ability to speak to the world has chosen to obsess over Amanda Baggs, an allegedly low functioning autistic person, diagnosed with an autism disorder as a young woman, who amongst other abilities and accomplishments, was able to attend a college for gifted young people, (Simon's Rock College), make friends, and engage educators and professionals in discussion. Meanwhile CNN ignores the plight of millions of autistic people around the globe, including autistic children who hurt themselves quite severely.DailyRecord.co.uk is not as squeamish as CNN.
