Dear CNN...

Just a hint, but Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs is neither a photographer, nor an expert on digital photography. His opinion on the authenticity of any photograph is worthless. In fact, his opinion on any subject at all is suspect. Call me crazy, but I would think that if you wanted to authenticate a photograph, you might actually consult a real expert on the subject, and not a rightwing asshole who makes his living peddling the worst sort of conservative hate speech.

I keep thinking that you guys will get a clue and stop helping rightwing assholes like Johnson in his quest to destroy the public's confidence in actual reporting. Let me spell it out for you, since you don't seem to get it.

Johnson and his ilk are interested in one thing, and one thing only- to discredit any information or reporting that goes against their twisted version of reality.

So stop it. Stop helping him. Stop giving the guy who wants to destroy objective journalism a platform. Everytime you do so, you grant legitimacy to a grade A douchbag. You wouldn't give a nutcase who wanted to slit your throat a knife, now would you?

Love, 4lg

PS. Take that idiot Carol Linn off the air. It would be a service to humanity.

WoW! Do tell us how you really feel, 4LG.

Now I'm sorry [kinda] that I haven't had the TV on all day. I'll take your word for it that CNN is being brainless and self/destructive.

The Guardian is reporting that Ahmedinajad has started his own blog! I'll be back with the url.

For the Guardian article abt Ahmadinejad's blog. If I could manage to spell his name right, I could go there.

Sorry I don't know how to embede a live link.

We haven't had a shot of the Great Plushy One since Friday. Now it's almost Monday.

Maybe it's all right for you two to take the weekend off. Maybe Maxx is tired of posing seductively. Supermodels can get flighty.

I will confess CNN long ago passed by bullshit threshold. I can't watch them anymore, so this is news to me.

They actually give Charles "little green snotballs" Johnson a platform? They treat that douchebag as a legitimate news analyst?

We're doomed. If that's what our "legitimate" press is treating us to -- we're just fucking doomed.

Yes, we are.

He correctly noticed that this photo was altered, but any idiot could have figured it out.

Apparently CNN now thinks he's the go-to guy when photos need to be authenticated. It's very annoying.

Ya think when somebody "turns up" an old photo of a Lamont speech with Mohammed Atta in the audience, we'll be hearing from Chuckie all about how it was photoshopped?
