CNN Covers "Controversial" Supreme Court Healthcare Ruling [View all]

Watching CNN yesterday, a segment of coverage was devoted to letting us know how "controversial" the Courts ruling upholding health care reform was.
Whenever something happens that doesn't pour more money into the lap of the 1%, it is "controversial".

Anyone else notice this subliminal framing of the news on CNN, especially in light of their having the alternate universe version of the story ready to go ahead of time, to put the court in the best possible light when they rule against the people?

&quot CNN) -- The U.S. Supreme Court made a landmark ruling Thursday upholding the controversial, massive reform of health care coverage initiated by President Barack Obama."
