Why is CNN completely ignoring the McCain story?
Edited on Wed Feb-20-08 08:51 PM by senseandsensibility
I haven't seen any coverage of it at all since before five o'clock, Pacific Time, and they don't have a graphic up. It's weird compared to the wall to wall coverage on MSNBC.

11. I didn't see that.
In fact, I've been switching back and forth to CNN since before five o'clcck. I could have missed it, but it would have been impossible to miss on MSNBC. They have the banner up even if they're talking about something else.

6. Because it is sleazy and unsubstantiated?
If there is not a WHOLE LOT more of this, then it is trashy journalism.

12. Tell me, when that has stopped CNN from reporting something?
This is a network that employs Rick Sanchez!

14. Doesn't matter ~ they are digging up anything they can find
from Kindergarten on Democrats.


Did he or didn't he have sex with that blond with the short hair?

I've tried to get a visual of an affair but it just won't work.

13. If McCain made nasty, holier than thou comments
about Bill Clinton and Lewinsky then his hypocrisy is a story - otherwise I don't care who he sleeps with.

17. Lou Dobbs
had a big discussion on it, and that was probably enough. There really isn't a whole of "there" there yet.

I think MSNBC is giving it too much play.
