Everyone clearly described the Bush and Kennedy shows as HBO documentaries, but I guess you missed that fact due to the trauma of your head injury. Speaking of facts, CNN and HBO are already business "partners" because they are both owned by TIME WARNER. So what fact are you trying to challenge? <br /><br />I am correcting your erroneous assumption that CNN is catering only to democrat viewers because they played documentaries about democrats. Yet, you ignored the FACT that they also played documentaries about republicans. If you are going to make an accusation of bias, at least make a factual, coherent statement.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-80613768658752650872012-09-04T21:01:20.539-04:002012-09-04T21:01:20.539-04:00"you should do your homework before

It also aired 41, a look at the first President Bush and allowed him to tell his version of the story. Both of these documentaries revealed much but were without transgressions.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-66983087382883907452012-09-04T10:25:59.419-04:002012-09-04T10:25:59.419-04:00@10:43, you should do your homework before spoutin...@10:43, you should do your homework before spouting off at the mouth. Saturday, CNN played the HBO documentary "41" which was a wonderful, stunning portrait of our 41st president, George HW Bush. I watched it and enjoyed it very much - it was not at all critical of Bush 41 but it wasn't supposed to be. It was a glowing biography and they did a great job. Also, last week, preceding the RNC convention, they played "Romney Revealed" by Gloria Borger. In fact, they played Romney Revealed last night right before the premiere of Obama Revealed. <br /><br />There is much to criticize at CNN but your kind of blatant bias lies are not allowed. You can't just make stuff up. CNN has been remarkably balanced in terms of the documentaries shown this past week.

I was watching the HBO/CNN Ted Kennedy documentary and I noticed it wasn't in CNN's HD format which made the CNN logo and words bigger. Very simple and easy to read. Hopefully they can figure something out soon for new graphics. It's kind of like when there is political coverage or Hurricane coverage, CNN tends to put way too much information at the bottom of the screen taking up nearly half of the screen. Too much pointless information. Why not make everything simple? I want to listen and watch, not struggle to read a paragraph.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-56314320198437237522012-09-01T14:55:02.335-04:002012-09-01T14:55:02.335-04:00Hopefully when CNN launches it's new studio in...Hopefully when CNN launches it's new studio in Washington DC after the Democratic convention, they can also launch new graphics. CNN PLEASE CAPITALIZE ALL WORDS! I don't like the lower-cased headlines. Everything is so small. That could also play as a reason to why their ratings are plummeting...everyone has to scoot closer to their TV sets to read! At least I have to. Get rid of the news ticker and make the graphics slightly bigger and in all caps. Don't write too much. Also, get rid of the distracting animated program/segment box. What's the point of it? Just flash the show logo on screen before and after commercial breaks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
