I'm not sure why I keep going back to cnn.com at work, but now I know not to anymore. The front page this morning was absolutely appalling:
U.S. troops in snipers' line of fire
Almost 2,800 Americans have been killed so far in Iraq and one of the most dangerous insurgent opponents is the sniper. CNN has obtained graphic video from the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq, showing its sniper teams targeting U.S. troops. The Islamist Army says it wants talks with the United States and some Islamist Internet postings call for a P.R. campaign aimed at influencing the American public. The video is disturbing to watch but CNN believes the story, shocking as it is, needs to be told.
They are streaming the video. Unbelievable.

CNN used to be a relatively centrist network until it moved its offices from Atlanta to New York in the late 90s.
Fox News, in its infancy at the time, saw CNN's shift to the left and exploited it. And, as the ratings show, Fox has reaped enormous benefits by doing this.
When I was in Britain all we got other than the BBC was "CNN International." Quite possibly the most anti-American network second to Al-Jazeera.
I guess Ted Turner can keep living on his billion-dollar ranch in Montana and can keep bashing the same American capitalism that's allowed him to earn those billions in the first place.
