      Mark Williams used to be on our local radio station years ago; 1530 KFBK am in Sacramento, CA. OMG, just to think that at one time I agreed with him. NOT ANYMORE.

        You didn't really know him then. It's a lot more liaring hypocrites just like him. Keep watching TalkShows.

          I agreed (past tense) with Williams years ago before I saw the light. I obviously don't agree with him now. I don't watch "talk" shows (FOX). I live in an area where progressive radio doesn't exist. Just a steady diet of Hannity, Limbaugh,and Savage. If I want progressive, I turn on my computer.

      CNN knows audiences have short memories and short attention spans. Just ask the people who run FOX News.

      It's all about the "integrity" until the ratings come in. Then it's "bring on the shouters."

      But of course, we all know radio hosts are experts in these matters. They are on the radio because of their vast knowledge of government, the world, space aliens, big foot, vast conspiracies and other well-known facts.

      They aren't there just to get ratings and advertising $$.

      Another thing - and this one makes my head hurt something awful...

      On one hand, Republicans say they are for reform. (e.g. McCain)

      But on the other hand, Republicans imply that ANY reform will enable illegals to get medical care, because they'll slip through the "border fence" surrounding any legislation to get "free care".

      The logic Republicans would make an android in Star Trek explode.

        Correction - last line should read

        "The logic Republicans use would make an android in Star Trek explode."

      CNN is trash TV, just like FOX. They are so desperate for ratings they are patterning themselves after the "gem" in Rupert Murdoch's empire.

      CNN are a real network of driven, diligent, and competent newsreporters and journalist. Sometimes you have to disavow the easy and get to the thick of an issue. They were given a suggestion but they think independently and therefore we are able to get unbiased and engaging news. BIG UPS!
