cnn: 30,000 turn out for Trump's Alabama pep rally

[spanone]

Mobile, Alabama (CNN)Donald Trump brought 30,000 supporters from deep red Alabama to a Friday night pep rally in a football stadium, the latest sign that the Republican front-runner has broad, nationwide strength.

Over an hour of often rambling remarks, the New York businessman reveled in the crowd size while he offered them his usual menu of patriotic pledges and carefree criticism of the media, his opponents and political correctness that he said his crowd similarly despised.

"We've gotten an amazing reception," Trump said as he began his remarks, turning his back to the podium at the Ladd-Peebles Stadium and pointing to the rafters behind him. "Has this been crazy? Man!"

The event had the trappings of a big Friday night high school match-up. Trump flew by the stadium in his private jet shortly before 6 p.m., doing a loop around the arena before landing. The fly-by was announced over the stadium's loudspeaker to cheers.

1. CNN lies and lies and lies.... CNN is all in on going all Fox and all GOP. The fawning coverage is sick.

[spanone]

2. agreed, appears the tally has risen overnight! voila!!!!

[Fred Sanders]

4. How most folks do not see how CNN has turned into vomit-inducing RW propaganda is a mystery.

The stadium was three quarters empty and full of bored white racists, is the truth.

But it was CNN that also helped to boost and give free advertising daily for the Tea Party idiots also, remember that?

Remember there are no journalists at CNN, paid script writers and actors....every one...except maybe Toobin, who has had next to no airtime lately because he tells the truth and not always with the political lens on...CNN is a pure propaganda production outfit....also note the obvious support of Netanyahu over Obama.

The GOP media is more the problem than the GOP politicians they give oxygen to.

The corporate media has blocked hope and change at every turn.

I was never surprised by that, but the depth of lying and propaganda is at a new high.

3. CNN370 - all lies twenty four seven

5. anything to inflate don trump

it'll be 60,000 by tomorrow !!!

[Fred Sanders]

6. Unbelievable how the mass media has become one cesspool of liars and propagandists, isn't it?

Obama has driven them all mad by Presidenting While Black in a word of white privilege....a black man took away the ultimate privilege of whites.....to control the world's greatest military and kill-not-white folks with it.

7. i've said for years, democrats can beat republicans, but not republicans and the entire media

as faux downplays trump, cnn picks up the slack

[woodsprite]

8. Wasn't it more like "30K missing from Trump's rally" n/t

[spanone]

9. not according to those who's job it is to inform us.

[Stellar]

10. Rachel Maddow showed last night that the Donald might have had 20K people there...

and the reporter said that she was being generous.

[spanone]

11. revisionist news reporting from cnn....the truth doesn't appear to matter anymore

[Stellar]

12. pfftt...tell me about it. nt

[spanone]

13. m$nbc just reported that don trump tweeted it was 30,000

so that's where cnn got their number....who would know better than don?....

[global1]

14. Donald Probably Got CNN To Agree To Say 30,000 As A Form....

of payment to him to not trash CNN. Donald was also asking for $10M for the next debate because he'll bring in the ratings for them.

15. No crowd shots

The video only shows from the 50 yard line to the endzone and that looked sparse.

If that stadium was 3/4 full which is what 30K would do to it there would be all kinds of crowd shots.

16. It doesn't matter any more than Palin's crowds

mattered.You can't win a presidential election without Hispanics and African Americans in this country. No matter how many white racists the GOP attracts,they're digging a grave for themselves.
