I never watch the show, but since I watch Keith I usually see what he leads with and it's always something that's not quite news or it's news about the news-as with snipergate. For a while he was discussing The Daily Show. It's like he's not even trying to be an actual news show anymore. I'm guessing he's covering snipergate for ratings. Has anyone looked on Faux? I'm curious as to whether they're covering it. If so, they would do it to fire up conservatives.<br /><br />@annick-I was on Huffingtonpost last night and was surprised there was nothing there. Odd. Andrew Sullivan is growing on me. I like his blog okay and while I used to think he came off as a jerk in interviews, lately he's seemed better.elizahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08665022756313094810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-80747595059534733702006-10-23T23:47:00.000-04:002006-10-23T23:47:00.000-04:00HuffPo hasn't picked up on "snipergate" yet, which...HuffPo hasn't picked up on "snipergate" yet, which is surprising.

I was going to switch a channel but Anderson was the first thing I saw on Scarborough so I stayed tuned - you don't see Anderson on a competetive channel every day -lol <br /><br />@eliza -when I saw Anderson's photo used as a logo (and not the screencap let's say), I was like - "oh-oh" -). Though nobody blamed him directly among show's participants that can make viewers associate this controversy with Anderson, not just CNN in general. And everybody knows decision was made on the highest levels of CNN, not by Anderson personally.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-58521271143385245062006-10-23T21:59:00.000-04:002006-10-23T21:59:00.000-04:00Yeah, censorship seems to be popular during war.

Pat Buchanan called it a snuff tape and said government should treat CNN like Al-Jazeera since they air enemy propaganda. Though he mentioned he doesn't mind CNN as a news channel and thinks Cooper is a good guy. They used Anderson's photo as a logo for the segment. <br /><br />Also Keith Olbermann in his awesome "Special Comment", which focused on republican election commercial with Bin Laden, talked about Hunter and others condemning CNN (they had Anderson's photo as a logo) for aiding terrorists. He made a point that the commercial republicans used was indeed airing terrorist propaganda. Olbermann accused republicans of using the old principle of "scaring people into believing they're in danger and then only you can save them". And another quote "...By this deffinition the leading terrorist group in this world right now is Al-Qaida, but the leading terrorist group in this country right now is the republican party..."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-118063093598753707.post-87219329095371330612006-10-23T21:31:00.000-04:002006-10-23T21:31:00.000-04:00I watched the segment on Scarborough Country--inte...I watched the segment on Scarborough Country--interesting to see the different perspectives.
