Want to know what Mediaite and CNN have in common? Both outlets filed original reports covering the G20 conference in Toronto today via modern telephonic technology. Of course CNN is a part of a billion dollar conglomerate that can easily afford a local ENG shoot cover the protests in Canada’s largest city. But for some reason, the following video appears to have been filed by Jeanne Meserve via the sort of satellite phone technology usually reserved for the outer reaches of war torn Afghanistan.

After viewing the following clip, you will clearly see how the limits of technology available in Toronto did not engender an intelligible report for CNN. But luckily, Mediaite sought the wise insight and dulcet tones of Dr. Donald Sklar (father to Editor at Large Rachel Sklar) for you the latest news on the international conference in Toronto. Listen to an intelligible insider report here.

Man, the lack of ratings sure has taken a toll on CNN. Shame, shame.

Talk about embarrassing….CNN got a live camera in HAITI, for crying out loud.

Maybe if there was an earthquake at the G20 summit, CNN would send out Anderson Cooper and a real film crew. But otherwise they don’t have much interest in a multinational meeting that addresses picayune issues like the world’s economy and global financial stability.

I am shocked! Shocked! Shocked ! Totally Shocked!

How can they be?

They are not part of the Tea Party!!!!!!

Violent Protesters! That is impossible…
I guess CNN forgot that only People who disagree with Washington and Obama are racists violent people? Remember Crying on TV Nancy Pelosi and Janeane Garofalo said we need to be scared of these tea party people.

For most of the media and democrats these Liberal G20 protesters are just exercising there free speech rights and are heros, but for the tea party people the media will call them names and disrespect them and say they have no right to question the administration.

@PureFreedom & Caryson – Don’t you get it? The media thinks the violent mobs at WTO, G8 and G20 meetings don’t count because they’re just so damn passionate. The Tea Partiers on the other hand, who have never actually engaged in violence, are the true threat to our Constitution and social order.

So true. They never talk about potential violence at these meetings but sure talk days in advance about potential violence if a TP rally is coming up.

Don’t they know it is just the hate-filled left that resorts to violence?
