I've given up on CNN for actual news. All they offer is a bunch of nimrods
who react like a flock of twittering birds. They seem to have given up
completely on actual reporting of news.

According to SackyLogic, that opinion makes you a "socialist". Nothing is
allowed to take precedence over the adoration of profits, you see.
Next up: Dobbs and Cramer co-host a new yak show called "Rebuilding the
American Dream". Within the first two episodes, they will proclaim their
objective of getting Obama impeached on "socialism" charges. They will call
for an amendment to the Constitution that expands the three ideals in the
preamble to four: "life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, and the primacy
of profits over all other government activities".

You think Dobbs was hounded out of CNN because of dirty dealing? That's why
Pailin' cut and ran.

I dunno. The upstairs guys at Turner and Warner still know what constitutes
journalistic credibility. The only job they would hire Pailin' for is
mouthing off like the wingnuts on Fox.

By listening to Dobbs' comments about his meeting with the CNN chief,
it sounds like he wanted to express even more extreme views, but the
network said no. Palin was also frustrated over being controlled by
McCain's aides. Dobbs probably wants to "go rogue" just like she's
doing.

I'll bet the main reason you say they're incompetent is because they let him

I'm no fan of today's news media but your comment implies that it used
to be better, maybe even much better...
When was this so-called "golden age?'
The days of yellow journalism? The Imperial Era of Hearst et al? The
age in which NYT reporters won Pulitzer prizes for knowingly white-
washing Stalin's crimes against humanity? The age of the all-powerful
network anchor?
Sure, Woodward and Bernstein seem romantic but within a handful of
years their brand of celebrity muckracking degenerated into the likes
Janet Cooke and "Jimmy's World"...
Let's face it -- it's been all downhill since Thomas Paine.

It has come to a pretty pass when the only "news" program

the GOP rally in DC was "The Daily Show" and comedian

The hallmark of the 'borg 'mind' is the inability to use the word "irony"
correctly. Krooger kouldn't do it, Witless can't do it, and now mr. jammies
demonstrates the same ineptitude.

Now you're channeling Stynchblob. But don't worry about what irony means to

Putting my comment into a context I thought even you could understand

And speaking of internet geeks, you and the other two regulars left on
RAO are so far up your own arses, what with your little code words,
secret jargons and droolingly stupid nicknames that unless a post is
littered with references to "borgs" and "Kroo's" and "mongrels", you
simply can't relate.
Surely it's occurred to you that what was once a vibrant newsgroup is
now nothing more than smug giggles and secret handshakes between you

Funny.... You can formulate sentences much better than Witlessmongrel can,
but your ability to understand what's happening in front of you is just as
weak as Scottie's. I'm reluctant to conclude you're stupid because of the
former, but I don't know what your problem is overall. In addition to your
willful obtundity, you have the classic nerd's inability to admit error, or
even take a step back and wonder what others are talking about.
Try this, mr. jammies: Assume the nub of the "irony" business is not the
definition of the word per se, but the way you're trying to apply it. Are the
facts of the matter really aligned the way you've claimed? Are you omitting
any relevant (even overarching) facts of greater weight? By pulling your ego
back a few meters, you may be able to consider what you've ignored completely
up to this point.
