HEY WOW! CNN HAS SPECIALS ON THE CANDIDATES!!!!1
First, the War Hero, Maverick, Third-Generation Navy, former Prisoner of War, wealthy and comfortable-in-his-own-(white)skin McCain at 8 PM, prime time of course...probably decided by the same coin-flip which sent the other guy, you know...him... out last night FIRST.

Followed by, at 9:30 PM when-you-have-to-start-thinking-about going-to-sleep the oddly-named Junior Senator from the malevolently-corrupt city of Chicago, who has not even one term under his belt-and-thinks-he-can-be-Commander-in-Chief although he never served in the Armed Forces, who is not only from the exotic State of Hawaii, attended the 'elitist' Harvard(!) Law School (from which all kinds of Left-wing radicals have emerged), married to a Princeton(!) graduate whose thesis (possibly advocating the overthrow of the U.S.) but also admits to fathering not one, but TWO black children! And she's only been proud of her country one time! And he is too thin!


:sarcasm:

1. In 2004, CNN must have run FLYBOY, the story of young GHWBush, at least 20 times, knowing
full well that the casual voter would equate the name with the service and the dictatortot would be elevated in the eyes of many - even by association.

Why on earth would CNN run one of their 2002 proBush family documentaries in such a heavy rotation during an election year?

CNN doesn't even TRY and hide their fascist agenda anymore. House of Saud has made fools out of the American media it controls and the American people who they target with their propaganda. Thanks to Bushes and Bill carrying their water all these years.

3. I watch CNN every night... stop being paranoid
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 01:16 PM by adoraz
They are not all against Obama. If anything, they seem to be more pro Obama than pro McCain.

Now, something like Fox News is obviously very, very pro-McCain... but CNN?

I don't like how everyone (both right and left) always paints the media as being unfair to their candidate. In some aspects of course they are unfair, but people never realize when they are unfair to the other party. The media is corrupt in many aspects, but I don't think CNN as a whole is out to get Obama. There are many different people there, both liberals and conservatives. Ironically, I think there are more liberals.

Sorry, just a short rant. I get sick of seeing people complain about the media being unfair to them all day.

7. I respect that, and I'm sure you're not the only one
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 01:25 PM by adoraz
its just that I always hear both Republicans and Democrats complain about networks like CNN being unfair, but they never notice when CNN is unfair to other candidates. They are unfair to both parties and candidates many, many times IMO.

I personally think CNN leans a little liberal, but that's just my opinion. I've seen specials in the past for McCain and Obama, and I thought they did an excellent job on Obama's and McCain's put me to sleep. That may have more to do with the candidates themselves, though. :)

EDIT: oh, and BTW last time I saw a special on them, McCain's came second and was later in the night... It was probably the exact same time as Obama's tonight (9:30).

9. if I went on a Republican message board
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 02:38 PM by adoraz
and posted they leaned a little conservative, I would get the same exact response. I think everyone is a little biased towards their own party.

Most of the news people on CNN seem to be more liberal.

6. Great! More power to you!
I'm still watching...that way, when the G.O.P. steals the Presidential Race AGAIN, I'll be witness to he mechaism of doing so, just like we were in 2000 and 2004.

It's not uninteresting...
