Watching CNN today, I have only seen Hillary/McCain and Tornado News?
Edited on Sat May-24-08 05:06 PM by FrenchieCat
Have they allowed coverage of Obama's campaign today? Did they have him talking or have they been talking over him? I haven't seen him shown at all.

Also, they have done an excellent point of providing rationale as to why Hillary made her RFK remarks.

Is this more CNN biased reporting pro Hillary/McCain, or Am I just imagining things.

45. She totally misinterpreted a post to someone else 4 months ago
and then informed me she was going to put me on ignore.

I find it hilarious someone can be so touchy while trying to discuss politics. :7

13. I saw that too...for the 1 minute that they showed of it.
Hillary got a whole speech on gas prices from her South Dakota performance from yesterday.

Also with Obama, I didn't get to see a pan of the crowd.....only those immediately behind him.

14. That's good to know..thanks. I do not have
cable access and glad I don't but it's good to hear via DUers what's happenin' in that world.

They know they have to have some news of Obama..afterall look at the numbers of his supporters.

10. I am only watching CNN because they are the only ones who report on
politics on Saturday, apart from Fox who give me the creeps.

Fox artfully defended Hillary this morning when I watched them for the 3 minutes. They were really good at it. Too bad no-one at Fox felt compeled to provide Obama's bitter comments the same courtesy. Separate and unequaled should be their motto. :shrug:

5. they briefly showed Obama in PR talking about veterans
Edited on Sat May-24-08 05:12 PM by ErinBerin84
But yeah, I've noticed mostly Hillary and McCain coverage, they showed tornado news for like an hour straight even though there weren't really any developments the whole time, and they have mounted a great defense of Hillary's remarks. The anchor seemed like she was kind of winging it on the weaather front when she was talking about it. I've always thought that CNN was probably more McCain/Clinton than Obama, but I figured that that was just my observation because I am biased.

24. No, it's really true..cnn is clinton nooze networked..
Mediawhores need a clinton or mccain..not someone like Obama whom they've tried their best to take down.

They need to be held accountable for their propaganda like hilary needs to be held accountable for her assassination drivel x 3.

Cause McCain, in his stockton appearance from 2 days ago was on for quite some time.

35. It was part of "Ballot Bowl" and the anchor didn't talk over him ...
However, I think the poster above was correct that he's
definitely received the least coverage today.

7. I think the Obama campaign is doing all it can to lay low and let the MSM go to town on her.
And the poor farmer whose house keeps getting demolished on a video loop on CNN.

Edited on Sat May-24-08 05:01 PM by BenDavid
last night with all the talking heads on screen were so supportive of obambi and saying crap that was not true about what HRC said....

You want to know what hypocrisy is, then read these threads where obambi folks are going apeshit once the mediawhores have expressed their opinions.....

Oh and by the way these same mediawhores did not say a word several months back when HRC basically said the same words because they knew and the obambi folks in here knew she was talking about the length of campaigns and some campaigns run into June.......but then again this time the mediawhores which are so far up obambi's ass they had to spew their venom and maybe some of them realize they were wrong in going so far over the edge in accusing HRC of wanting someone killed.....

HYPOCRISY.....


SHALOM

in front of a camera and punditize.. wait till Tuesday. This is a big weekend for most people, lots simply aren't paying attention and they know that. That said, I'm watching a segment on Hillary's careless remark right now, just no pundits.

18. cnn.com had a live feed of an Obama town hall in Puerto Rico
focusing on the needs of veterans there. I agree with your sentiment though that they have hardly covered Obama at all today. I don't even know if their national TV network covered his town hall in Puerto Rico besides the live feed. They do seem to be trying to help Hillary out since she tried to throw herself under the bus yesterday. :rofl:

20. Oh yes, and "if only" the M$M would stop picking on poor Miss Hilly because she didn't mean it ...
Edited on Sat May-24-08 05:08 PM by ShortnFiery
after all "she's so tired" and "RFK, Jr." is not taken aback.

Just bizarre, it's like trotting out Bob Johnson, one each, billionaire to stand for *all* AA, they bring out Clinton ultra-loyalist son to VOUCH for "all of the Kennedy's.

Nothing to see here. Poor poor, tired HRC ... oh those mean ole obamabots won't let her be ... Lord have mercy on this sweet pea! :puke:

WHY does HRC feign "victimhood" every damn time she is caught? ... and the M$M buys it? Well - maybe it's got something to do with PAYBACK for The Media Consolidation Act that her husband pushed in 1996? :grr:

The 5 or 6 ULTRA-Corporatists who RUN the M$M cable news are just saying, "Don't you DARE pick on our Miss Hilly a.k.a. our sweet May-Ella. :crazy:

29. I have no respect for RFKjr..too bad he's
such a toady turns out.

The only good thing coming out of the righteous outrage at clinton's lastest gratuitious mention of Bobby Kennedy's assassination in JUNE is she won't be opening her whiskey hole to talk about that AGAIN.

This all finally got hilary to STFU about Bobby Kennedy's Assassination in JUNE.

41. The Oklahoma hog farm hit by the twister got more CNN coverage...
than Obama. To the point where they came back later with taped video of the twister hitting it and saying "We are getting reports that the hogs are fine!! None died!".

They showed a teeny clip of Obama dancing in front of a parade in Puerto Rico but that was it. Lots more on HRC and her comment and McLame meeting with his cronies in Arizona.

CNN is so ghoulish, they kept the twister watch up live for at least an hour and acted almost disappointed when they got word that it was mainly hitting empty fields and ponds, no homes/people.
