imported_Wildman Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I could never seem to find that tidbit on CNN Headlines. Did anyone save, tape or copy that info. If so I would love to see it. Please post (Not sure about the copyright on that) or send to wnetcher@min.midco.net I will thank anyone in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-E Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Being in the same boat, I emailed MadMatt earlier today... BTS is working on getting CNN's okay to post a quicktime video of it here on BFC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wadepm Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 I never did get to see it here in Chicago, they kept preempting it for local news and stuff. They did do a very quick preview once that showed the back of what I think is Charles' head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Other Means Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 could someone fill in us europeans? what's CNN? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DBaron Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 It's a 24 hour all news program. Edit for clarity: It only shows the headline news, and repeats itself every half an hour or so, so you can always turn it on and see what is going on in the world/nation/stock markets etc. Frankly I am suprised they had Combat Mission on at all, usually they reserve that segment for the big name video games, like mario brothers.

Bruno Weiss Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Nah, now the original author had an idea there. I just seen this story on CNN (Conservative News Naysayers), on the War with Iraq game. And it's getting great coverage. (Whether the game is any good isn't the point of the post). Now see, this is yet another reason to do a Korea version of CM for the engine rewrite. By that time, the Korean penisula should be a full fledged conflagration and CNN will do a story on BFC.

MikeT Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 CNN= Communists News Network CNN= Clinton News Network CNN basically seen as being very biased towards a certain liberal agenda by many Americans, obviously myself included.

Bruno Weiss Posted February 10, 2003 Share Posted February 10, 2003 Ooo, I get tingles all over when they start talking that commie stuff. "Und you mein frund, und you mein frund, und all of us togeether, da dee da dee daa, da dee dum da dee dum..." Quick light the torches and get the books. I love the smell of freedom burning in the morning. [ February 10, 2003, 02:04 PM: Message edited by: Bruno Weiss ] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeT Mike, Are you using liberal in its correct meaning to inidcate a political philosophy that favours the rights of the individual over the rights of the state, or are you misusing the term (as so often happens with people on the political right) to mean left-wing ?

MikeT Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 BritishBulldog, basically for me liberal means that the state can do no wrong, that certain individuals/races are "better" than others, and that there is no crime that the favored can commit that will land them in jail. Now before this discussion gets locked up. Let me say that I honestly believe that the laws of the land should be applied fairly, evenly, to all without favor or fear. That the individual is more important than the state and is not the property of the state nor are the rights of the individual granted by the state. The rights are inherent as a citizen, i.e., inalienable. So before this discussion degenerates maybe we should take this off the forum and I am perfectly willing to debate details at my home email. It is above if interested. BTW, I am also British born, mom was from Nottingham, but raised in Texas. MikeT 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigMik1 Posted February 11, 2003 Share Posted February 11, 2003 CNN= Needed!! Fox News= God Help Us. Never like to get in these political threads that were not, but turn into them, but sometimes you have to say something. These times are getting too scary.

Zitadelle Posted February 15, 2003 Share Posted February 15, 2003 A bump to the top to see if there have been any further updates from CNN for allowing BFC to show an on-line view of the report 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
