3. I selected to leave a message with the CNN Story TIP hotline!
I added the fact (beyond the rant indicated in the OP) that the type of coverage Palin is getting for going on SNL while she won't do press conference on serious issues, is a clear indication as to what is wrong with this country, and it starts with the way the media prioritizes what is important.

In essence, they are a part of the problem this country is experiencing.

5. I got the live lady and she was rude. Said this line was for "important" breaking news only
and it down hill from there. I asked her why she didn't think that 100k-150k attendance at a political rally was a really HOT TIP and would probably be considered IMPORTANT to millions of American people!

- she promptly transferred me to the comment line before I could say another word.

8. You should have said "Help, I'm a Blonde White Girl trapped in a phone booth.....
Did you hear that 100-150K Missourians have gathered to hear Barack Obama speak?"

2. I called CNN at exactly 1:44 p.m - MSNBC a bit earlier.
I got the comment voice mail and left my name.


Like the person above me, it was a seethingredhot message.

4. Here's what I wrote:
RE: The Obama rally in St.Louis with the 100,000 people attending....

Thanks for NOT showing that rally and all those folks out there celebrating democracy.

The internet is making you obsolete and the fact that I have to call you on what is the largest political rally in the history of the United States of America is proof of that.

So: Keep doing what you're doing and in a couple of years I'll read about your demise as an organization.

On the internet.

Cheers!

6. I'm so tired of this fucked media, it is hard to keep my shoe on
when I watch!

CNN thus far; 2 minutes of Obama AND Biden, 25 Minutes of Old & Ugly!

11. No, they don't "have to" do anything other than perform the function
that they announce to us on a regular basis they are there to do.

Best political team on Television my ASS! :mad:

9. Called and emailed-
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 02:01 PM by asdjrocky
Here's my email-

Are you kidding me? McCain has been on all day everyday. David Shuster just reported McCain is getting big crowds and is "fired up." He also made sure we knew McCain would be back live for us at 3pm eastern time. Boy, that's just terrific. I know your a "news channel" so I'll give you some news. Barack Obama had 100,000+ in St. Louis today. Where was MSNBC? No one cut to it live, and it barley got a mention. I'm sure you won't answer this, or tell me why, but I'm going to ask anyway. Why? Is Obama no longer news? Is he too far ahead so you have to give McCain a chance to catch up? Your bias is really showing, and as an American, it makes me sick. I won't look forward to an answer, because I'm sure I won't receive one.

Edited to add-

I'm an idiot. I just sent an email to cnn about MSNBC.

16. Sent an e-mail to the CNN news chief and the newsroom!
I do not need to listen to someone who is so rude to me - they must be getting thousands of phone calls berating their coverage of Senator Obama's rally!My, god, this is a history-making event and they ignore it like yesterday's thrown-out garbage.

20. You would have thought they would have a few pictures? NO!
Edited on Sat Oct-18-08 02:21 PM by Ozma
The Cable channels have ALL let us down. When will they start telling us the facts and going into the TRUTH?

If it weren't for Keith Olbermann and Rachel M., I would cancel my cable TV.

Even that "LIBERAL" press the Wall Street Journal has it.

24. It was brief, but MSNBC did show 2 images - one of the crowd
and one of Obama speaking. Not nearly enough, but better than the others.
