        They should not fire him. He's trying to be a martyr. They should just find a way to cut hi pay by a lot and say it's the financial crisis. Force him out but don't fire him. None of these wingnuts should get fired. They should all be forced out so they can come out with a conspiracy. They are all too proud and will probably resign. The networks should just ask for t in writing and publish copies.

      Yes, Lou, it is propaganda. Your problem with it is that it's not rightwing propaganda. Are you suggesting that it's not appropriate for CNN to cover it? Then I think you'd better start advocating for a stop to all "Some people are saying," stories, which almost always forward rightwing, fact-free fables.
      Then you should take a significant pay cut, and have CNN devote that money to real reporting: send people out into the field, and quit linking to the Drudges of the world.

      Dobbs wouldn't know propaganda if it were coming out of his mouth.

      Isn't this 'indoctrination' argument assuming that none of these children believe in healthcare reform? Secondly, by not allowing children to sing about healthcare reform, because certain adults do not want healthcare reform is that not indoctrination in itself?

      Get this. Talk about indoctrination...My daughter is a freshman in college and an honor student. The right wing group Americans for Prosperity paid the way for the honor students at her college (and many others) to go to Washington DC for some type of program related to Ronald Reagan. Newt Gingrich, Laura Ingram, Jim DeMint and many others were giving speeches basically about health care reform and how Obama wants to take over the healthcare system. They talked about how Obama is a socialist. They also, once again, told the lie that there were 2 million people in DC for the 9-12 project!!!!! My daughter, who is a democrat and volunteered for the Obama campaign, was shocked. She knew that she was going to the Reagan convention but I don't think she was ready for the hate that was spewed at the conference. This group paid the way for all these honor students to go so there would be some young faces in the crowd. Luckily, my daughter was not indoctrinated by the rhetoric they were spitting out of their lying mouths. But talk about hypocrisy. I have no doubt (I haven't looked) that this group was one who was complaining about Obama's school speech
      And by the way, even with them filling the crowd with college kids, there were only about 2,200 people at the convention.
