CNN is all Palin/McCain and just a small toss of Biden. Where is Obama?
I want to see the real news. Obama draws largest crowd in the history of Presidential campaigns and no coverage. I've heard three times that Palin is going to be on Saturday Night tonight but I've heard nothing about Obama. This is driving me crazy. I think they think it is ok as long as they throw in some Biden to make it seem fair.

5. CNN = Piece of shit McCain free advertising channel.
They will discuss how Obama is outspending McCain 4 to 1. They forget to mention the free media they and Fox give McCain 24/7. Oops, I'm sure they just forgot!

7. Shuster just showed a shot of Obama in SL - tight shot of his face, no crowd. Back to Ayers now.

11. I don't see any point in complaining about things I cannot change or impact.
I don't think that the people that Obama needs to persuade are glued to CNN in order to make their decision. I believe that wherever Obama appears now his presence in that locality and the coverage of his appearance by the local media has more impact on the undecideds there as opposed to MSM coverage. It also gets his supporters in that area motivated and inspired and that is a big boast.

The MSM is going to do what they are going to do. We can either complain about it or do something active that will impact real people and help to make an Obama victory and landslide a reality.

12. Have to agree with you. Remember, Obama warned us of the media's
ability to change the dynamics of the race, if so inclined. "New Hampshire" comes to mind. Whether we like it or not, the McCain campaign's repeated assaults on the media have them running scared. In an effort to escape being labeled as biased, they overcompensate by going negative on Obama. McCain really went after Keith and Tweety, I know it won't affect Keith's coverage, but it will be interesting to see how Tweety responds.
