Anyone else as irritated with CNN's coverage as I am right now?

FWIW, the Al Jazeera English stream is supposed to be quite good. But, uh, it doesn't work on my computer, so I've got the Guardian blogging CNN and Al Jazeera.

No comment on CNN, though, as I've not got cable.

I'm getting all my News through twitter...

you mean they are claiming to cover this? I'm lucky. Verizon FIOS MD has Al Jazeera english.

Same here. Or various posts on Dreamwidth and LJ. I gave up on getting any meaningful news off CNN a long time ago.

No, but every time I glance into the news networks I am.

why would I watch CNN when I can watch Al-Jazeera English?

[canaana.livejournal.com]

Yeah. What's worse, of the couple of 24-hour news networks we have on cable, they're probably the best of them. :-(

Watching Al-Jazeera, too. This... is amazing.

Al-Jazeera is kicking CNN's whole ass.

They just seem to be running the same things over and over. MSNBC isn't covering it at all right now, they're running some show about wives hiring contract killers.

I wish I had options. Since I can not stream, I have to wait for info to pop up on the various print feeds. So, mostly, I am just shutting off the TV. (and the fact my tooth is infected - again - and to sore to stay upright much, I just check on the every couple of hours).

I've been irritated with CNN's coverage of pretty much EVERYTHING of late.

My other ex-CNN friends and I are all laughing about it right now. They're ripping and reading. Morons! CNN's Middle East coverage has always been kind of a joke - Al-Jazeera's great.

The Vermont Teddybear Company is made of awesome. :D

I found this odd timing: "The chief of staff of Egypt’s armed forces, Lt. Gen. Sami Hafez Enan, was due to meet this Monday with Adm. Mike Mullen, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and remain with his delegation in Washington through next Wednesday. But as the protests intensified on Friday, he and his group headed for the airport."

If you have an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch, you can get various Al Jazeera apps from the App Store. They're free and you can watch live streams of the broadcasts on the iDevice.

THIS. Which bums me out something terrible. I grew up watching CNN with my grandma.

(Well, that and The Golden Girls. And Johnny Carson.)

Fucking CNN. They're messing with my childhood here, man!
