...What CNN fails to understand is that Erin Burnett<br />was not just mocking protesters, she was mocking<br />us. Ordinary Americans who are invisible to CNN.<br />As far as CNN is concerned, we don't exist since<br />Wall St is scared, we don't matter. They live in an<br />ivory tower called Time Warner, make millions and<br />are paid to not talk with regular people, let alone<br />to have to actually come in contact with us. The<br />only people that they come in contact with talk<br />money & politics 24/7. Know shy ? It is just them<br />pundits and rich pals. No dose of reality at all. So<br />that only means one thing :CNN is deeply out of<br />touch and totally disconnected from the public.<br />CNN what have you done for viewers lately or<br />in recent memory ?<br /><br />So you ignore millions of customers and expect<br />to stay in business.If you don't have customers,<br />you will eventually lose advertisers. Just add <br />real news to the list of things that are no longer<br />available that you are paying for but you get<br />games with pundits,opinion not facts, tea party<br />questions.CNN does not understand Occupy <br />Wall Street; they don't have any idea about what<br />is going on in the real world. Besides that CNN<br />is too close to the tea party to be objective and<br />have painted themselves into a corner. They <br />are on the wrong side. So here comes the <br />great media coverup from CNN. Make up <br />fake issues like they don't know what they <br />want, there is no leader. No way could this<br />be real they are not disrupting town halls or<br />hate the government. CNN only looks at news<br />via an ideological prism and they have no idea<br />of real news since they have not done their <br />jobs for years, The gig is up for CNN. They <br />would never hire dude because he spoke<br />truth to power and told them they can;t be<br />trusted because of they way they handle news.<br />As far as I'm concerned, he needs to be <br />running the place. What has CNN done for<br />viewers lately ? Absolutely nothing.<br /><br />CNN talks about politicians and who benefits<br />politically for all of the news. What ? So what<br />does that do for viewers. Nothing about the<br />millions of Americans who deal with the jobs<br />& economics daily, CNN has decided people<br />don't matter.CNN is way off base with it's<br />depiction/portrayal of Americans. CNN has<br />no idea about what is on my mind. Don't tell<br />me what I am talking about.It is a real shame<br />what they have done to CNN. Their arrogance<br />will kill the network. How badly CNN behaved<br />with their coverage of Occupy Wall Street will<br />be another failure for CNN. This is what<br />happens when you hire pundits and not real<br />journalists, you have no contact with the news<br />or the millions who are the news. Why would<br />anyone insult the very people you need. While<br />Erin Burnett, Alison Kosik & others at CNN<br />were mocking protesters, they are organizing<br />to not give their money to anything Time<br />Warner. Who is laughing now ? See if you<br />have any hit movies this fall. Also, if CNN <br />disses us we diss back. No CNN on tv or<br />the internet. CNN is nothing without our <br />money or support.

This is going on across the country. The 96 year old woman who wasn't able to vote is an example of this. CNN went on and on about ACORN and its so-called and later disproven "voter fraud" but they have said nearly nothing about the tactics that Republicans are taking to give their party an election advantage in 2012. If the Tea Party's not whining about something, I guess CNN doesn't think its news. They're just barely into OWS, but treating it like problem or a joke. Republicans know that the country's changing demographics don't favor them, so they are trying to suppress the votes of people who would likely vote for a Democrat.

Anderson appears to be incapable of accepting that YES, many in the Tea Party are racist and that it was one of the MAIN reasons the organization was formed. It is also NOT a grass roots organization as the MSM wants everyone to believe. The Koch Brothers and other shady dealers and corporations have always pulled the strings of the Tea Party. I don't believe Anderson looks upon liberals or liberal causes favorably (I do give him credit for asking why OWS is being maligned for protesting and the Tea Party wasn't), but I think he carries a lot of suspicion and cynicism when it comes to anything liberal or progressive and he's more sympathetic to right wing concerns. It's probably no accident that 360 waited a long time (and Friday no less) to cover OWS. If Anderson wants to prove himself a balanced reporter, he will go down to OWS and report on them FAIRLY and honestly and without the kind of dismissive and snide attitude that Burnett had. I was happy to see Cornell West on the show but he didn't get nearly enough time to counter that TP rep. No Anderson, it was not unfair to label most in the Tea Party racist, because that is a FACT. I do hope that 360 and other CNN programs will continue to cover OWS, but in a balanced manner. They can't ignore it because it's growing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6540471114822045290.post-37311879785330568272011-10-07T21:02:17.493-04:002011-10-07T21:02:17.493-04:00Anderson "keeping it dishonest " Copper
