Is it just me or does the coverage on CNN seem really missing right now.. I keep going there to find out the latest news and it seems like they aren't updating, that my isp has newer news headlines then CNN.. I think they are puposefully not telling us things, I am really questioning the news that CNN is running. I think they are in the pocket of the government and i don't know why they are hiding the truth.. anyway.. that is my question. Not that news is all that great anymore anyway, but it just seems like CNN is really cowering to the government. Don't want to say anything negative, might not look good, might be un patriotic. I heard today the president has asked for 75 billion dollars to fund this war, that is supposed to take us until September, in case you missed the small print, and if you missed the even smaller print.. 30 billion of the 75 was spent just getting the troups to Iraq. so I assume it will take another 30 Billion to get them home.. so that is 60 Billion, which leaves 15 Billion for the war.. the numbers don't work..Also, is it just me or does anybody else think this sandstorm seems like an act of got?....Anyway.. enough of this.. I'm going to bed..

I want to register my comments on CNN coverage of the war. I believe that you are endangering the lives of US Troops with your irresponsible coverage in Iraq - giving away Coalition positions. Some or your reporters are breaching our national security, with should be a punishable felony. I am ashamed that you are affiliated with the USA, as your coverage exemplifies that CNN does not respect our mission or our country and you often seem more pro-France than pro-USA which is deplorable if not criminal.
You are also contributing to decimating the morale of the troops with your tragedy TV coverage, which has depressed many a viewer.
In summary, I hope you reflect on the validity of what I have said here and realize that your coverage that is evidently out to get ratings.
Citing that the Iraqi Government told CNN to leave the country last Sunday, you have succeeded in having your bias annoy both of combatant nations.

First I must say I am not affliated with CNN in any way shape or form, secondly I couldn't disagree more.. CNN hasn't given away our positions.. if you listen to the news from around the rest of the world you will discover that this war isnt' going as well as CNN would like the american people to belive it is, I have heard rumors from overseas that the stretegic plan is failing.. they have gotten supply lines too long with out ample security behind them. I think it is interesting you cite that the Iraqui government is asking CNN to leave.. if CNN is indeed posting information that is endangering our troops, the iraqui governemt should want them there, it hels then stretegically if this is indeed the case. How could being more Pro-France be criminal, perhaps you forget that what makes a democracy work is questioning our government. I think it is funny that Conservative Americans find it fine to Question our president if he gets a blow job, but if he kills thousands of women and children we are not allowed to question these actions. as for demoralizing our troops.. the last footage I saw from the front lines, I didn't see a single solder watching CNN.
