CNN ‘Corrupt News Network’ Sets America’s Political Adenda
THE long road to the White House means lots of miles and lots of TV for wold-be US Presidents.
But who sets the agenda? The media. As the LA Times puts it: “CNN: Corrupt News Network - A self-serving agenda was set for the Republican presidential debates.”
So, why did CNN make immigration the keystone of this debate? What standard dictated the decision to give that much time to an issue so remote from the majority of voters’ concerns? The answer is that CNN’s most popular news-oriented personality, Lou Dobbs, has made opposition to illegal immigration and free trade the centerpiece of his neonativist/neopopulist platform. In fact, Dobbs led into Wednesday’s debate with a good solid dose of immigrant bashing. His network is in a desperate ratings battle with Fox News and, in a critical prime-time slot, with MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. So, what’s good for Dobbs is good for CNN.
In other words, CNN intentionally directed the Republicans’ debate to advance its own interests. Make immigration a bigger issue and you’ve made a bigger audience for Dobbs.

Funny that Mr Dobbs says that he lovessssssss our country, yet he wastes his time on these poor migrants that come to feed their families adn pick our food.
Why dose Mr Dobbs not concentrate mainly on the major issues that is hurting our nation,
1, Education?
2, Health care?
3l, Foreign Trade/
4, Medicare?
5, Social Security?
6, Outsourcing,
Most Importantly OUR NATION OWES OVER 7 TRILLION$$ THAT IS WITH A T.
THE INTEREST THAT WE PAY IS 1 MILLION$ PER MINUTE WHICH IS 144 MILLION$ A DAY. THIS IS WHATS HURTING OUR NATION.
Mr Dobbs dose not have the guts to take this on as his major subject, and this is exactly what is / will hurt our nation, SADDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD, but True.
Cnn is was and will always be biased. NOTHING NEW. They even moved Mr Dobbs to 7 Pm , and said its prime time, which is a lie , because he was up against Mr Britt Hume, and other Majors. TRUTH IS ONLY ONE, And the wise know not to listen to Lou Dobbs Follies,Just for his ratings.
Happy Holidays, God Bless America.
