Dear CNN,

I am sorry to see your demise into a cheap version of Fox.  You were at one time the place for honest reporting and comprehensive coverage.  No more.  The stench of politically tinged comments has saturated all of your coverage.  Even straight news is presented with a bigoted and cynical attitude.  Your reporters constantly refer to the President of the United States in insulting and disparaging terms. All of the commentary treats the work of governing as simply a stage to present a campaign for re-election.  Gossip and rumor are reported as fact.  Guilt is assumed and you never correct it.  When there is a story of ethical violations or scandal in the Republican Party, little coverage is given.   

All month you have been equating Republican Mark Foley with Democrat Eric Massa.  For starters, you never once mention that Foley was allowed to prowl after teenage interns with GOP knowledge for over a decade. In fact long after his tendency to be a sexual predator was well established among the party faithful, he was convinced to run for reelection.  It was only when his victims made the story public did you investigate the rumors.  But first term Congressman Massa resigned with the first report of sexual harassment.  You continue to conflate the two as if they are the same.  The big difference here is the presence of Speaker Pelosi who actually does run a tight ship. (Since the nauseating Navy references are sure to occur.)  

For a year you have failed to give complete coverage of the Acorn story.  Now this morning John Roberts introduces a story about Acorn by saying they are "Hiding their Nuts."  CNN didn't bother to cover the reports of the Acorn offices that were NOT taken in and assumed it was a prank.  Or the offices who felt compelled to report “The Pimp” James O'Keefe, to the police.  You never mention that when he visited dozens of Acorn offices he was not dressed like Huggy Bear but was wearing a suit.  No, it was too much fun to run the video of the pimp suit and that exceedingly nice piece of ass shown in the footage. 

Now you have given Erick Erickson, who runs the conservative website Redstate.com a very public platform to spew his hatred.  This is the man who called the First Lady a “Marxist harpy” and ran the headline stating that the President was “shagging hookers behind the media’s back” and who called Justice Souter a “goat-f-ing child molester.  If you follow pattern, you will allow this man to rant unaltered by the truth. 

Those are only a few instances.  It goes on hour after hour.  Instead of doing a constitutionally protected job of informing the citizenry so that we can make rational decisions – you are no more than a titty bar.  You play to the lowest common denominator and have no interest in the truth.

Our media is a servant to the mega corpse.  It is not interested in the truth.  It is interested in advertising it’s product.  Maybe the old song was right –
