CNN DOES IT AGAIN...
Edited on Wed Oct-29-08 05:15 PM by dennis4868
They reported Obama's "connections" to Khalidi, allowing McCain and Palin to spew their lies about it but CNN never mentions McCain providing a grant of almost a million dollars to Khalidi's organization....I HATE THE FUCKING MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I expect this unfairness from FOX News but not from CNN....

1. the wingnuts
on the board I moderate have been on this rant all day. Made me so pissed off I made a dozen calls for Obama between logging off my shift and going to get my kids from school.

Asses.

Made me feel far better about the world when I talked to the mother of a voter I was calling for. He was in Afghanistan and she said she was 100% for Obama and the entire extended family was, too--he should never have gone over there and she wants him back ASAP. Bless her.

2. Did you see Candy Crowley? I thought she looked well... rather distressed.
Can't imagine why.

8. "Mourning..." I like that. I think you're right. I didn't know the young lad was so deeply

mired in the Republican lies. He's was talking just now about the Democrats having lost two close elections! I'd thought of him as one of the good guys. Didn't he make some gesture of disgust over Katrina? Resign or something?

They're talking about Palin going for the presidency. That really would be the icing on the cake, wouldn't it?

4. I expect it from CNN. House of Saud only trusts Bushes and Clintons to protect their interests.
Kingdom Holdings is a major shareholder in AOL/TimeWarner/CNN.

5. I called them and emailed them the information as I got it from ABC
I emailed it to 5 different CNN email addresses (including news tips and Story idea links)...so they have the information. They have chosen not to include it. Guess the reason.

7. CNN is going to the way of Fox...I see it more and more everyday...
I can't watch them. It's sickening. The only person who made the full connection was Schuster on MSNBC. CNN sucks.

10. As Scarborough said, "It's to maintain the ratings".
CNN, MSNBC and Faux Noise doesn't care about news...it cares about sensationalism, irrespective of the few anchors who do and that doesn't include ANYONE at CNN.

13. Not Shocking
To me, CNN + Fox = very little difference. For the sake of my sanity and blood pressure, I stopped actively watching CNN several years ago.
