CNN Heralding negative poll numbers for Pelosi and Reid; nothing about Obama's surge in the Polls
Edited on Mon Oct-12-09 05:33 PM by FrenchieCat
Not that I expect anything different.

But that is what is so sad about today's news program,
I didn't expect anything different,
and I wasn't disappointed.

They also don't mention Republican's numbers in whatever polls
they are citing.

Reporting by omission......as usual. :(

1. CNN's tagline. "PLease watch us. send us a video. anything. PLEASE??"
the people have voted with their remote controls. Most Americans look down on CNN. Ironic part? CNN International is actually more like what a person expects their news to look like. But do we get to see it? Hell no. We get Lemon and Kyra and other idiots blathering on about nothingness. So.....BYE BYE CNN. Most who need a constant news fix will go where they hear only what hey want to hear like O'Liely, Hannity, Maddow, Olberman.

It's all bullshit. The only way a person can be objectively informed is to understand how to look past their own biases and seek out a wide variety of news and information.

9. I actually get CNNI and love it.
I have started watching CNNI and BBC in the morning. This morning I was comparing what was covered on BBC with what CNN covered. It was like night and day! BBC actually pretty much did "real" reporting while CNN got their memo and followed right along. All politics all the time. It didn't matter there was a bombing in Pakistan this morning. I heard NO mention of that on CNN. They are pathetic as a "news" organization.

4. Agreed. Tamron Hall was the only person I heard discuss the President's
rise in the polls.

5. Guess they have to determine how to bring his numbers down again,
before we will hear about presidential approval polls.

6. Isn't this the new *meme* for the GOP to win back Congress in 2010?
"Look how bad/evil/unpopular Harry Reid and ESPECIALLY San Francisco she-devil Nancy Pelosi are?" :eyes: Hey, I got my issues with both of them but I don't want to see either of them gone either. *Well, I wouldn't mind seeing a new Senate Majority Leader but I'd rather not for Reid to have to lose his seat for that to happen like it did with Daschle.

And yeah, what about those Republican poll numbers? Hmmmm...........?????? :think:

7. They are so obvious......
while the entire time touting that they are impartial....

Impartial my ass. How can that be, if what they are doing
is feeding viewers GOP talking points about that evil Pelosi
and that ineffective Reid. :shrug:

8. They ARE
Unfortunately, we only have a few hours a week on the corporate media stations (i.e. Maddow, Olbermann, Schultz) where we can hear something other than RNC-supplied "talking points"

Do you even know what A Marxist is? No of course you don't, they didn't cover that in the third grade when you dropped out to become a meat head.

Edited on Mon Oct-12-09 06:55 PM by jonnyblitz
with all the goldman sachs guys he has surrounded himself with has to be batshit fucking INSANE. :crazy:

unless, of course, you think wall street bigwigs are marxists. i haven't lurked in the far right fever swamps lately to see what you all have been stewing over lately. i am sure things haven't changed much except for emphasis on the racial aspect of things.

18. It's amazing that you even watch cable news
since all you do is complain about them. They thank you for your support.
