Yet Again I Read CNN and Am Outraged [Jun. 23rd, 2006|11:04 am]

[Cross-posted from my MovableType Blog]

This time it was an article from CNN's sister site, Money.com:

"The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times reported that the records were examined under a series of broad U.S. subpoenas, with the Times reporting that Treasury officials did not seek individual court-approved warrants or subpoenas to examine specific transactions.

"Public dissemination of our sources and methods of fighting terrorists not only harms national security, but also degrades the government's efforts to prevent terrorist activity in the future," he said. "If there are people sending money to help al Qaeda, then we need to know about it. We also need to take advantage of that knowledge to follow the money trail and thwart them.""Full story.

If The People don't know you are watching them, they can't do anything about it, now can they? Privacy, smivacy - you're civil rights do you more harm than good. Of course The Government is only looking out for your best interest.

AAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

Oh, part of it is reading on CNN. They are WAY skewed. I read all my news from Australia, as it's not as biased, filled with drivel and generally more reliable.

I can no longer stand American news of nearly any kind. /sigh

Yeah, that's why I also read the BBC, Plastic, and GoogleNews (since it draws from many sources). I recently completed a project with CNN at work, so I've been using them more since I now understand the process of how news gets made there. It's also a way to keep tabs on them to see if they've made any of the changes we recommended.
