So, this $400 million thing is looking like a thing.

154. See, this is why your pre-emptive "Please don't do the 'concern' bullshit" was, well, bullshit

You are posting, again and again, that you're concerned. And that it doesn't matter what happened, you're concerned how it's portrayed in the media. But DU is not the media. We do not control it. So posting here that you're worried about how the media screws up the facts is not helpful, to you or us.

What we can do is point out the facts in the story whenever discussing it. That, of course, is not easy when the first person we discuss it with literally shouts "PEOPLE, IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT IT IS. IT MATTERS WHAT IT IS BEING PORTRAYED AS" at us, but we must persevere. First, will will convince you. Then you can convince other people. And that's how you learn to stop worrying and love the election.

Here's a suggestion: email CNN pointing out how badly they covered this. Point out they'll lose viewer trust, and numbers, if they continue to do a bad job, which all your friends agree they're doing at the moment.
