CNN's Campbell Brown interviewed Palin's main campaign advisor yesterday. She was on a vendetta to make a fool out of him. She kept hammering at him about Palin's Commader In Chief experience claims. She was essentially calling them a liar about Palin;s role in Commanding the Alaska National Guard.

She was RUDELY insistant that the Governor was just a figure head, not a Commander, for the State National Guard. She said the President managed them.

Of course, she was wrong. The only time the President calls the shots is when the Guard is called up for National deployment 95% of the Guards purpose is the State's needs. The Governor manages everything from traing, equipment, all budgetory roles, and deployment within the State. Palin had JUST deployed a group to help with Gustev. Bush had NO role in the deployment of the troops, and equipment.

So, Libtard Brown was trying to smear Palin in the interview.

This P.O.d McCain off and he canceled his interview on Larry King. Good for him! At least McCain is taking up for his running mate, not with just words, but actions. Unlike Obama and his Libtard MSM supporters.

Campbell says she has gotten lots and lots of emails about that conversation and that those emails agree with her in that she was only attempting to ask routine vetting type questions.  She is in an echo chamber.  Continue to allow her to have the bit between her teeth.  She will come to a dead halt soon enough.

When Corsi's new Obamanation came out, Brown was on CNN screaming about how that book had despicable lies in it and how the author was a fraud.

At that time, the ONLY thing in the book that was PROVABLE to be wrong was that Corsi had gotten the Obama's wedding date wrong. Nothing else, whether you believed it or not, was proven to be mistake/lie. She spent two days screaming about it. This "No Bias, No Bull" IS Bull!

Having an ANCHOR of a newscast spouting her opinion as FACT is insulting.

And it looks like NO ONE has convinced her she was wrong about a Governors role in the State Guard. She's a buffoon and a Libtard. Libtards are always the victims. If they make a mistake, and IF they admit it, it's always someone elses's fault. She's a victim of Society and the vast right wing conspiracy because SHE doesn't have clue how the world works.

Pathetic

I did not see the interview of Campbell Brown with the McCain advisor but I saw two others that I have written to CNN about.

I basically have written CNN off now.  Except for Lou Dobbs of course.

Campbell Brown is a joke of a "reporter".

I gave CNN the example of how last night Campbell had "picked" a group from Alaska to see how Gov Palin was viewed at her job.

The group all disliked Gov Palin for a variety of reasons.

Bay Buchanan was on the show and brought up how could Campbell find only people who disliked Gov Palin when she has an 87% approval rating the highest of any state Gov.

Then I went to Fox where Greta was "answering" the question on the national guard.  Like how is that "executive experience".

Well, how did Greta do that? With Pundits or ????

No, she had the heard of the National Guard who talked about their duties and how many they had and how they work for the Gov. to help when needed.  It was very informative and like I told CNN - explained to me the difference between how the National Guard was handled in Katrina "by the Gov." vs how the National Guard was handled in Gustav by the new Gov.

CNN is now not a news organization but a pundit, ..... organization.

Again, Except for Lou!

Well, the question still does need to be answered.  Has Governor Palin ever deployed the National Guard of her state?  It's a legitimate question.  I can't help but think of Kathleen Sebellius of Kansas and the Big Red One out of Fort Riley.  Kathleen has said that it caused difficulties in the state, having to make due without the equipment deployed overseas in the case of a tornado.

I just contacted CNN and told them i was blocking them because I won't support another Obama Channel.

I also contacted Dobbs and Beck with this nessage

"Lou (Glenn)
CNN has just joined MSNBC in being blocked on my digital receiver. CNN has overstepped the bounds in Liberal Attacks on Sarah Palin.

No More for me. I can't support another "Obama Channel".


Campbell Brown and her "No Bias, No Bull" IS Bull.


I will miss your show, but will be listening to your Radio spot.


Keep up the good work, Lou."

 

Now we need an advertisers contact list for CNN. I pounded on US Weekly's advertisers yesterday.

The answer is YES!

She deployed them to LA for Gustev.

Not Bush, Gov Palin.

The GOVERNOR is responsible for deploying the Guard. The President can deploy them in time of war or for NATIONAL MILITARY actions.

But the Guv manages the budgetary policies for training, equipment, personell,  and Non Military deployments.

Oh no!  I think you're making a mistake.  I think Lou is going to turn his Independent's loose on John McCain's behalf.  If he does that, McCain and Sarah will have a chance to win. Because of Lou's stance on reform, broken government, always having a military segment, his stance on the WTO, fair trade vs free trade, etc. is why I think this.  I could be wrong, but I think he would pick McCain over Obama. If people stop watching Lou, his ratings will go down and he'll be forced over to the dark side, or worse, off the air.

But there's a problem

If you watch Lou, the Neilson Ratings count you.

If you have cable, your channels are logged with the time. This info is sold to advertisers and Neilson Ratings.

You can't Boycott CNN, yet be tuning into Lou and Glenn. 

That's why you contact Lou and Glenn and tell them why you are leaving. When the ratings go down, they go to the network heads and complain.

It's kinda like you are boycotting Mars candy company. You stop buying snickers, but double up on the M&M's. What purpose does that serve? Mars is still getting your money.

Do what you want, but I'm boycotting CNN. I will miss Lou, and Glenn.

I am boycotting MSNBC, too. I miss Morning Joe, but that's the sacrifice I have to make to protest the despicable policies.

Robo Tech, that isn't  true.  They keep track of the show you actually watch, that is why some TV shows get cancelled and some do not.  Advertisers actually buy air time by show.  That again is why during the Super Bowl the ads for before, after and during the Super Bowl go for different rates.

So as an Advertiser if you support Lou's positions or Glenn's or just want to reach their audience you can buy time for their shows only.

If there is a HIT Show, like the article below on not only Fox but also on how great OReily and Hannity and Colmes are doing, then the network tends to add more shows or coverage like that because it is working for them, they are getting viewers as confirmed via ratings for that "hour" and so it attracts advertisers.

If you like Morning Joe then watch it and then nothing else.  What MSNBC will see is that for some reason he is the highest rated show and gets them the best advertising dollars because of it and so they should add more shows like his.

That is also why when a show is a success, other copy cats jump in on the trend.  First American Idol and now all the other look alikes.

Also if you look way down, I took one from August.  You can see Dobbs vs Brown.  I remember one time when Cooper beat Greta and she was upset and then she was just recently #1 in her time slot for the last 80 shows or something and she was thanking everyone for keeping her #1.

I would neve stop watching Lou or Glenn because I dont want their ratings to go down and for their shows to be cancelled.  They are the only voice we have.

Here is what the ratings charts look like:

FNC Ties Palin's Speech Ratings As Top in Cable History

fnc_9-5.JPGIt's official — more people watched Sen. John McCain accept the Republican nomination than watched Sen. Barack Obama accept the Democratic nomination.

And just as the first two nights, more people watched the McCain speech last night on Fox News than any other network, broadcast or cable. FNC had 9.2 million viewers at 10pmET, the same as the night before for Gov. Sarah Palin's acceptance speech.

NBC improved from Wednesday night, with 8.7 million tuning in last night. ABC was 3rd with 6 million viewers, followed by CBS with 5.3 million, CNN with 4.8 million and MSNBC with 2.5 million.

FNC's prime time average last night (including part one of Bill O'Reilly's Obama interview) averaged 7.4 million viewers, making it the highest-rated prime time convention coverage in the network's history, and the third highest-rated prime time average in FNC history (behind the 2004 election night and a 2004 debate).

The General from the Alaska National Guard was on tv last night being interview by (I think) Greta van Sustern.  He was raving about Palin, how she visits the troops there and overseas, sees to it that they have all they need, and that it was her working with Bobby Palin than got some of the Alaska National Guard sent to Louisiana to help with Hurricane Gustav.  He was rather angry at the attacks on her saying she was not really the commander in chief of the ANG, etc.

Patsy, I saw it and it was Great!

That is the interview that I sent CNN an email on.

I told them if Campbell Brown wanted to question Gov. Palin's responsibilities then she should go to the "source" instead of bullying pundits.

Campbell Brown is a joke as a reporter.  I would never trust a thing she said.  Her true colors came out this week in the ugliest of forms.  She disgusts me.

Tonight, Campbell, Toobin and Roland were frothing at the mouth about Sarah. After all their hard work to get Obama the nomination, his numbers are declining. They should stop 'helping' him! The bias is amazing and bull smells to high heaven.
