I'm impressed by CNN and MSNBC coverage today
It's all Dem all day!!! Talking about the primaries. Talking about the candidates. Talking about the poll that says no one knows who they are. Showing the % of people who have never heard of each one (NOW THEY DO). Talking about Dean. Talking about Kerry. Talking about Gephardt. Talking about why no one supports Lieberman. Talking about Edwards. Embedded (I hated that word) reporters with each campaigns. CNN announcing a daily email update on the campaigns.

LOVE IT! CNN hasn't stopped talking about them since about 2 o'clock now.... 2 and a half hours now.

1. Dunno 'bout that
I switched off CNN when they cut away from Kerry's speech the second he started criticizing the heat-seeking ass whistle. Can't let the public hear dangerous words about our pResident, can we?

CNN stopped being credible to me in 2000.

2. It was more like 1996 for me...
Candy Crowley's little prime time chat explaining the implications of oral sex in the White House.

5. well...
Crowley sure must have learned about blowjobs, given the nonstop BJ she gave the chimp during campaign 2000. In my mind, she's the Media Whore of the Millenium.

And then to turn around and see Jonathan Karl - a self-admitted right-winger turn on Gore at every opportunity...well, let's just say that I pretty much tuned out CNN after the whole debacle.

4. I'm glad to hear that. I, too, saw them do the cutaway on Kerry
to bring us more re-cycled shit on Scott Peterson and the guy who blew up with the bomb strapped on him, blah, blah.......yep, infinitely more important than, gasp, the people hearing some damn Dem propaganda, you know. But if Bush farts, they bring it to you live!!! It sounds like later in th day they picked it up. Did see that "thing" yesterday about the embedded reporter with each campaign (surpised the hell out of me----I still don't trust them; probably there to make sure they cruxify each one, one by one by one). But it's a start and apparently, CNN must have had to do some matching and not ignore the Dems. Love it when they have to do stuff that probably makes them puke in order to keep the audience. Good for us--and may all our Dem candidates take FULL opportunity to call Bush every damn name in the book and keep pounding and pounding now that they have the media ear.

6. CNN
I still don't trust them either. Until CNN delves into and reports about the BBV they are in my opinion still shills for Busco. That is troubling me very much. Is a vote without a paper trail still a vote?
Is this really legal? I want to be assured that my vote for a Dem is counted for a Dem.
