What is the difference between convincing white voters and convincing non-white voters? What is CNN saying, that non-white voters are easier to fool? Did these white voters who voted for Obama last time suddenly wake up one morning and slap themselves in the face after realizing he wasn't a white man?

There are so many important issues to cover and differences in positions that the media could help voters with in determining who they should vote for yet the media reports on garbage and stupid, preposterous crap. Disgusting.

Leno said once that CNN had lower ratings than the cartoon network. I think that sums it up.

If you've been watching CNN the last couple of months their coverage has tended to be more anti-Obama. I couldn't figure out why at first until the last debate. During the post debate coverage Anderson Cooper mention why the CNN poll was +8 republican. He said it was because more republicans watch the debates and that more republican watch cable news in general. My guess is they have tried being a center left news outlet and that failed because of MSNBC so they've decide to cater to a FoxNews audience witch is much larger.
