CNN treating 100 Days like election night
lol, they have the magic wall and everything.

You can grade a question they put up on cnn.com and they will report the grade. A new question every 5 minutes.

2. wtff, every single one of the senators get a grade too?
This is weird. I turned it on earlier at 4, and Wolf was saying "Many Republicans, including Michael Steel, are giving President Obama an F for his first 100 days. Coming up next, Michael St-....oh, breaking news! Swine Flu!" And they covered that for a while.

3. Yeah, but where's the hologram?
Aren't they going to beam in a White House reporter or something?

5. What is the point of this?
Edited on Wed Apr-29-09 06:27 PM by AngryOldDem
I don't recall so much hoo-hah being made over ANY president's first 100 days.

And I'm also getting sick and tired of the undercurrent of meanness and negativity that's been on display all day, especially on MSNBC with its front yard interviews of White House staffers.

I DEFY anyone to do a better job so far with all the shit that Obama inherited.

Whenever I see this gnat's-ass coverage I think to myself, Why weren't they so microscopically concerned about George Bush? I know, I know...a naive question. But I'm getting sick of this shit that just because the Dow isn't yet over 10,000, unemployment isn't down to single digits, and the lion isn't yet lying down with the lamb that these first three and a half months have been a waste.

6. They are quite nerve wracking! You'd think they were Gods or something.....
hell, they can barely get their own reporting right,
let alone judge someone doing the actual real and difficult job.
Plus, I'm tired of the personalities they showcase....they are all so 20th Century!
Kind of like dragons judging a princess. You know they just want to burn her up and nothing more.

7. As is MSNBC
They had David Gregory and Brokaw on this morning, which they never do unless there's something really big going on. At least the did break away to cover things like the flue epidemic.
