I just stormed away from TV news.Swift Boat coverage and job loss.
Anyone else notice the anchors always let the repugs finish last? Subtle trick to leave what they say lingering in the viewers mind.I was watching CNN and the Paula sub did it every single time.Usually they do it at least once but this little twerp had brass balls.
They KNOW all about this technique and so do campaign professionals. Carville wrote a book about it.You NEVER let the other side have the last word.What is wrong with our people anyway?Don't they know when to interject? At the end?That and the absolute lying spin on the jobs has me livid.They truly believe that if they repeat their bright economy mantra often enough, in spite of the jobs figures,AND the market reaction,that people will believe them .The sad part is some will.

1. And then always say "We have to leave it there!"
Yes I do notice that and then they always "run out of time" like some important newsflash is coming up and they're just plumb out of time.

2. One question:

Why does anyone (especially here) still watch CNN?

We all know they want Bush to win because Kerry is against media consolidation.

It's not news.

3. Hubby had it on, And I walked by and jot sucked in!
It used to be my favorite until it turned into FOX Jr. Now MSNBC seems better!
