I was watching CNN earlier today, and saw a very good piece about the protesters that are gathering in New York for the Republican National Convention. It was a good piece, a responsible piece, and it really didn't show anything overly outrageous or out of bounds, at least as far as protests are concerned. Then, after the piece, the CNN anchor Carol Lin pops back up on screen and says the most outrageous thing. She said:
"I know it's democracy, but sometimes it's hard to take seriously."
What? I don't even know where to start with a quote as shamefully idiotic as that. Just another way to belittle the protests, I guess.
Also, is it just me or has CNN seemed to be moving to the right this past week to try and pump up ratings for the convention? Either that or they are trying to steal some of the moron Fox News viewers. I don't know, but I have grown very tired of the media playing the fourth branch of our government.
