Well, seeing the high unemployment numbers, quite a few unfortunately.

Break out the Blue Ribbon for "Biggest Pile of BS on the tube".

How can they afford cable?

I have been laid off 4 times since I started working in 1998. Cable TV is the first thing to go.

Who knows. Many can still find money to buy cigarettes.

Does jounalism really get any worse than Anderson Cooper?

Still love that time he faked crying while covering Hurricane Katrina.

Agreed. CNN is garbage and their ratings are well deserved.

FOX offers the only alternative viewpoint in the American TV media world.

Its no wonder why they are so popular.

Facists overtake and manipulate whole swaths of industry for their own purposes and have school children sing about their leader and make him a subject of idoltry and unquestioned praise. This sounds like the current Democratic position not Fox's.

Regarding the manipulation of industry, just who is the manipulator and who the manipulatee? Judging by what is going on in Washington these days, I'm pretty much convinced we live in the first corporate oligarchy. Get out there and consume, folks. Because that is now your only value.

And I guess when that teacher had those kids sing a song for the president, I'm sure that's the first time that's ever happened. Yep. No doubt about it.

CNN needs to put Ted Turner back in charge. At least he knew what he was doing.

Agreed. That is what you get when government tries to run business instead of simply employing more intelligent regulation and business-friendly tax policies.

I'm afraid you missed the point. It is business running the government.

Hence the term "idiot box" in lieu of "TV"

Dont worry, CNN will be bailed out, and any other friendly "news source." And when bailed out, we will really get the news "we [the government] can trust."

Dont worry commie, soon you and big brother will control it all. GM, banks, healthcare, next up the media -- I am mean we cant let Fox continue speaking, that would be un-American...

Fully got your point. The only reason businesses like GE and the auto companies are becoming inseparable parts of the government is because the government wants it that way.

The breaking down of the Chinese wall between governement and business in this country will lead to to big problems for our economy I am quite certain.
