Priorities? 400 CNN Reporters Cover Royal Wedding…50 Cover Japan Quake

The Wall Street Journal reports:

CNN alone will have a team of roughly 400 reporters, cameramen and crew assigned to the wedding. The network has 50 people on the ground working on the breaking news in Japan, plus others scattered in Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya and Egypt. Ten cameras will be stationed around Buckingham Palace to capture the day’s money shot—the royal family assembling on the balcony as Prince William and his bride share a kiss.

Hat tip Tucker Carlson.

    Seriously,who really cares about these inbreds? They,ve become a useless form of entertainment,money in the pocket for Murdoch and a financial burden on society.The royals are the largest land owners in the world and have become rich by taking money from the public purse for being,just “royal”.

    Who the FOK cares about the royals. Do they really deserve coverage at all? Who watches CNN anymore either. We should be sending relief supplies to Japan and covering every moment of help they recive from us so THE WORLD knows how charitable Americans really are. I donated to the Red Cross, did you?

    It’s natural spectacle mathematics. The earthquake is a natural story that only needs a small number of reporters to capture the details. The wedding is a MANUFACTURED story that requires an army of reporters to create the sensation of a story. It’s the equivalent of throwing 100 smoke bombs on a camp fire to make it look like a huge forrest fire. Where there’s that much smoke there must be a big fire, right? Where there’s that many reporters the story must be HUGE.

    I don’t think anyone has taken CNN seriously since they fired both Dobbs and Beck. They had exactly two voices that independents and conservatives like and that got rid of both of them. Neither of them was even a Republican. Dobbs is an independent populist and Beck’s a liberatarian. Anyone who’s not affiliated with the Democratic Party is not welcome on CNN. Their news coverage has gone from good and boring, to bad and boring in the last decade.

    Although I think that Prince William is a very nice person, I am sad to see him marrying a commoner. For thousands of years there have been people that have protected King David‘s throne and made sure that King David’s royal line has endured as God Almighty said that it would. After all, this is the royal line of the tribe of Judah that Jesus will return to, and it should not be diluted down. The royal throne of King David is Prince William’s birthright. I think he should take his birthright more seriously. Just sayin’.
    One day God Almighty is going to restore His Whole House of Israel, and the Israelites will go to this royal throne to find a prince to rule from Jerusalem as Ezekiel tells us (Ezek. 34), when a descendant of King David will be our shepherd (verse 24). Ezekiel goes on in his book to tell us exactly where this prince will live and what his property allotment will be. The Bible tells us that this prince will be like King David. King David was a military man, a compassionate man, with a ruddy complexion, called a man after God’s own heart. These are serious matters, and should not be taken lightly.

      I don’t think William will put up with too much of the invasion of privacy crap from the media … I have a feeling he is going to be protective of Catherine .. unlike his father with Diana. The Royals do have some leverage with access if they don’t like what they are doing .. at least in the U.K.

      I just hope that all goes according to plan and no one tries to disrupt the wedding .. they seem like a nice couple and I think wish them happiness .. William I believe has grown into a good man .. his mother would be proud.

      We are now entering a re-founding revolution. Our choice of weapon is the freedom of us speakin. We choose to fight in the arena OF THOUGHT and our founders had superior. But now in OUR house they all snub the constitution. Did they swear to us to GOD or some sort of alien. If to GOD what a shame but one day they‘ll meet with him and if to us then there LIARS and it’s time for us to replace all them. OUR CONSTITUTION our BILL OF RIGHTS and no interpretation that‘s how we’ll finish this re-founding revolution. So now it’s time for the 28th amendment “No authority can tax a SOVERIGN STATE CITIZEN” It’s also time for OUR state representatives to come back home and start representing them. After that we’ll be headed towards a different place, a place OUR founders intended for the human race. So much HOPE so much CHANGE and new innovation. WE pray to GOD for this re-founding revolution. Hey U.N. we’re sorry for all the confusion, but those treaties that we signed are against OUR CONSTITUION. So what were saying is that it’s time for us to hit the road and that building in New York will be sub-divided into condos… So much HOPE so much CHANGE and new innovation WE pray to GOD for this re-founding REVOLUTION.

      Another progressive ploy: Use CNN to draw attention to fluff while our world is spinning out of control. No need to alert the stupid little sheep that there are things that just can’t be fixed by Soros, Obama, and the rest of their socialist band. They love to distract so we don’t see just how bad things are. Like Mr. Rogers used to sing, “It’s a wonderful day in the neighborhood”. Well, no, it’s not.

      Another misleading headline Blaze, really, no editorial over-site, no care about the truth. Its not that they will be 400 reporters, the article says it its 400 reporters, camera and crew. Which includes advance teams to set up stages and control rooms. Let alone the fact that CNN had nearly a year to pan and cover the event. The Earth and Tsunami, no advanced planning, problems with getting into the country, the danger.

      Basically, is the blaze willing to do the same comparison with Fox’s coverage?

      Birther conspiracy
      Truther conspiracy
      Chemtrail conspiracy
      The prison ‘system’
      The college loan ‘system’
      The credit and mortgage ‘system’
      The pharmaceutical ‘system’
      …and many more…

      Oh, but no – bring up these REAL issues and you get labeled…quickly, as a nutter. That’s fine – it’s the same strategy the left uses. HMMMM, could the left & the right be operating from the same playbook? YES.

      These ‘systems’ add up to put your back up against the wall as DEBT SLAVES. CNN, FOX, MSNBC, CBS, ABC and all the rest have the SAME AGENDA!

      Beck is no better than the rest; he just serves his greater purpose which is to keep each other at each others throats and off the path of the truth.
