CNN must be rubbing their hands together about rubbishing others to divert attention from their own messes.

If CNN did a print edition, it's only use for me would be lining the bird cage. 

Good that their TV rating are at about 50% of what they were. I don't thing they'll survive much longer.

Agreed. Its shocking at the amount of biased news and fake stories this channels airs and how often journalists state "I can't prove it but a semi reliable source says so and we cannot reveal the identity or present facts so but it must be true".

I'm going to wait and see what the Thai investigations reveal first. Then listen to Juirn's official statement to the public. Stories like this can damage a nations perception.

And what about the ones that call it out Poolie. If all the Yanks are so bad then why are CNN's viewer numbers dropping?

Here comes the treacle again. Find a problem and apppoint a comittee to investigate it. I can't help but think of an old Christian saying that bears some relevant here....

Every industry needs to think reduce, reuse. and recycle. 

Gloves can be sterilized by washing in anti-bacterial soap and treating with ozone or by UV light and reused. 

This is the 21st century people, we have technologies to recycle/reuse plastic/poly/latex/rubber and other products that use oil in their manufacturing and/ or transport
