One more reason to hate CNN. Their so-called "question of the day" on
their Web site is as follows: "Did Tuesday's terrorist attacks make
you fear for your own safety? * Yes * No"

Little more needs to be said here.

CNN is just "CON" with hiccups.

I'm waiting for their "reliable sources" show where
they ask:

1) Is the media covering this story too much?

(One guy will say "yes", the other "no.")

2) Is the media showing bias in this story?

(One guy will say "yes", the other "no.")

3) Is the media really the story here?

(They will both agree. "Yes.")

It really doesn't matter what topic they discuss,
they always reach the same non-conclusion, then
pat themselves on the back for their profound
introspection.
