CNN Yanked From Hotel’s Channel Line Up
This is how bad coverage of the Iraq war has gotten:
ROTHSCHILD — Guests at one local hotel who switch on the TV in search of the latest news no longer have CNN as an option.
The Stoney Creek Inn, 1100 Imperial Ave., in Rothschild has dropped the 24-hour news channels CNN and CNN Headline News from its basic cable offerings.
Tony Magro, 76, of Barrington, Ill., stayed at the inn Monday night and said he was told by a receptionist that the hotel chain’s corporate office had issued a letter calling for the removal of the channels because CNN aids terrorists.
Quite right, too, given CNN’s decision to air terror propaganda films. Not to mention CNN’s agreement with Saddam Hussein’s regime to suppress the worst of that tyrant’s atrocities in exchange for better access for its reporters.
If only more television subscribers would send CNN this message.
On a related note, this Tony Magro in the article has to be a liberal given this comment:
“I’m not an activist, and I really don’t have any interest, but that struck me as over the top,” Magro said. “I’m rather zealous about my rights as an American citizen, particularly when I’m paying for the service.”
Right, pal. You have a “right” to CNN in your hotel room.
Which amendment is that in again?
