No fair looking - When was the last time CNN.com ran a story containing the word Franken?...

[Junkdrawer]

I just did a site search using CNN's search engine.

Take a wild guess....

4. Now....Imagine if Franken were keeping Norm from being seated.....

You would think this country would have come to a stop if the Democrats didn't pressure "Sore Loser Franken" to give up his useless, obstructionist challenges...

As it is now, one or two mentions a month....

8. amazing isnt it

cnn is more or less a giant talk show pretending to be news.

almost every time they try to cover a story they do it poorly, and i would be happy if they dont even bother covering serious issues and just turn into headline news or whatever else they do.

one of the 'sins of omission' that has bugged me is how whenever madoff was covered, it was almost universally omitted that HE WAS THE CHAIRMAN OF NASDAQ!
