Comments on: CNN Is #2 In Prime Time Total Viewers With Fort Hood Coverage, Day 2 http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-slides-to-2-in-prime-time-total-viewers-with-fort-hood-coverage-day-2/ Mediaite Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:09:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=2012.06 By: libra blue http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnn-slides-to-2-in-prime-time-total-viewers-with-fort-hood-coverage-day-2/#comment-9160 libra blue Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:20:29 +0000 http://www.mediaite.com/?p=44438#comment-9160 This is not surprising, CNN usually gets good ratings for "breaking news" coverage. If CNN had not finished at least 2nd that would have been surprising. Having said that, their coverage of the Ft. Hood massacre was over the top PC. On Anderson's show I heard a myriad of excuses for why Hasan committed these murders, everything from 2nd hand post traumatic stress syndrome to being "bullied" by fellow soldiers. A mention was even made of the fact that he didn't have a wife. I guess they were trying to suggest that he may have been sexually frustrated. Everything but the obvious: that he is a murderous radical Islamic terrorist who hates the U.S. As usual, the PC extended to their blogs and even Anderson's FB page, where comments like the one I made above were blocked or deleted from those sites. However, the comments of terrorist sympathizers were and are frequently posted on both the AC360 blog and Anderson's FB page. I guess that is their definition of objective journalism.
