I'm disgusted that CNN is fanning the flames of the Gates story

[jimlup]

They've placed as the headline story all day long. It has distracted from the health care debate - not that CNN would cover it fairly but still I'm sick of the Obama called the cops "stupid" story. It just wasn't that big a deal. He's a black man. He understands how the police profile.

Can we move on please?

1. Every Minute They Spend On This Snipe Hunt Is A Minute Less Lies and Misinformation

About h/c reform. I'm fine w/ that. Let them chase the snipe while the deal gets done.

3. +1. Been saying this all day.

Could Obama have even suspected this? hmmm. ;)

2. I'm sure the president agrees

4. The media is looking for any distraction to defeat healthcare

It started this week with the birther nonsense. How that bullshit is given a platform is beyond dumb.

5. I'm stuck a lil, this just sounds too convinient and Obama has used the media before

...along with he KNOWS this would've blown up in his face.

Jus sayin, we've seen the media get distracted by bright and shiny things before

6. You're saying Obama did this on purpose? Hmmmm

that would be the ULTIMATE chess move. LOL I know Obama's good, but is he THAT good?

7. on CNN during the day leading up to the election

It was all race, all the time on CNN. Not good stories too, stuff about the bradley effect on repeat, etc. It was very illuminating to see how obsessed they were with portraying Obama's race in a negative light.

8. LOL WUT?

I am sorry...you mean 'Move on' like DU has today???

This story has more threads and posts on DU than TMZ had Michael Jackson articles.

The Irony is strong with you...
