CNN: All about race, all the time

[GrizzlyMan]

I guess is their new programming format. No real strategy talk. No discussion of issues. Just the posing of "will it matter" question over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

All day.

Every day.

[Bread and Circus]

1. email them about this if you can. I did the other day. At some point, they may get the message.

As for lately, I've turned CNN off due to such aweful coverage.

[CPschem]

2. It's true

they just can't stop.

[insanity]

3. The Main Stream Media is not conservative and not liberal

They are interested in any storyline that will keep viewers glued to their television. For them, it is profit driven regardless of ideology. The race issue just keeps propelling the idea that this election is a horse race and that by staying tuned to CNN we will be able to see it all the way through.

8. No just owned by Billionaires and that 1% who want keep hold.....

of all the major decisions of how programing should trend. The multi-fractional of the populous with multiple entertainment-news outlets looks to be in it's first stage of failure. The evidence is the ever larger focus on this election.

[insanity]

13. Also, the trend toward vertical intergration pushes their message down our throats

Take this non-political example of High School Musical:
They own the studio that produces it, the stations that air and advertise it, the label that makes the album, the publications that might review it and so on.

Their only focus is on profit and the political discourse in this country suffers as a result.

16. I'm not so sure

This racism crap plays to the conservatives view of a Liberal media bias. So, are they actually conservatives crying 'racism' so they can perpepuate the belief among conservatives that the media is liberal?
Understand? Well I hope so, because I don't.

However, I wish they would focus on healthcare, economic plans, etc. so people would actually see the truth between Obama and McCain.

4. A "Special Place in Hell" for those folks!

[SeaLyons]

5. Yes, I'm sick of hearing that too.....

it's gotten ridiculous. It's as if they WANT it to be a BIG issue.

We all need to send complaint emails.

[CPschem]

6. MSM will do ANYTHING

for a close race. They are not happy with Obama's lead. Not enough drama. They will try to change the storyline.

[crankychatter]

7. the MSM effort to defeat Obama by any means necessary is SWEET ASSURANCE

that we picked the BEST candidate for the job

[ErinBerin84]

9. whenever I've turned on CNN this week

It's either the Bradley Effect, or Black Republicans for McCain. Oh yeah, and interviews with the African American radio host who asked McCain to bring up Wright in the town hall, and how he's gotten "hate mail".

[torbird]

10. That's CNN

CNN's idea of discussion on any issue is to get a white woman, a white man, a black man, and a Latino man or woman and have each of them start yelling about how "MY people would do this!"

Whenever I see more than two heads in frame on CNN, I listen for five seconds to confirm that it will, in fact, be one of those racial BS-fests, and then flip the channel.

[JBoy]

11. CNN: If they can't make it a race, they make it about race.

[AlinPA]

12. They want the election to be only about race. If it is, they hope, McCain will win.

[nc4bo]

14. Glass half empty: Race: OMG Obama is black!! Oh noesss11!! Glass half full:

Race: Gee, why do "I" feel so negatively about the idea of a black POTUS when "I" find myself agreeing with most everything he says?

Maybe this can be a positive influence on the certain percentage of people who've never really considered themselves racist because they don't wear a white hood or use the N word.

Since "we" can not stop the CorporateMedia from publicly enjoying it's race fetish, maybe we can find some hope that sunlight is and always will be the best disinfectant.

*sigh* November 4th will NOT get here soon enough.

[Peacetrain]

15. It is getting on my very last jangled "nerve",, Iowa is 97% white, and they did not keep asking us

about race. We went Obama and are bluer than blue not because we have a large minorty population. (I hate that meme too, he is just winning because of a large minority population) but because he had great ideas. It is like they are trying to make it about race. Is there racism involved. oh yeah, there are some real idiots out there.. but most people of any color, just want a decent guy with a good mind to get us out of this mess.. and that is Barack Obama.

23. Iowa kicks ass!! n/t

[chitty]

17. Noon pacific

[Elidor]

18. Concerned News Network n/t

[Overseas]

19. They don't want to cover the REPUBLICAN DESERTION EFFECT. ///

20. Race gets them ratings, I'm done with CNN...they've gone the way of FAUX but worse

[DeepBlueDem]

21. "You know who keeps racism alive?....The media"-Bernie Mac

[firedupdem]

22. Haven't watched them in a week...they are FUX in my book.

Fuck em.
