CNN kills me
They have breaking news about former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack abandoning his run for the presidency and all I can think is, did you guys even report he was running in the first place? It's all HilBama all the time. Does any of the average public even know there is anyone else running? The media is apparently still invested in the long slow destruction of this country somehow.

4. I admit, I didn't even know he was running lol
and I'm ashamed to admit that. I guess I watch that sorry excuse for a station too much. Mostly its just background noise that i can yell at and confuse my dog and annoy my wife.

6. They won't know Obama or Hilary either
despite hours of free coverage for them they never report on anything of substance or delve into where they stand on issues. We who have free minds can seek out this information for ourselves but the sheeple get two days of the David Geffen bullshit and a quick announcement about some guy named Tom who was running for 5 minutes. "Tom Vilsack? Is that our elections they're talking about Ethel? Why didn't we hear about him before I wonder? Must not have been a very good candidate anyway if they didn't interview him. Pass me the chips would ya Ethel?"

10. With the USA in a shambles
Edited on Fri Feb-23-07 11:55 AM by A wise Man
over bushes war, escalating gas prices, weakening economy, Cheney's rant, souring congress, stupid senators ,lies, deceit and the demise of America, the most important news they could come up with to report was a bald headed sluts sanity and a Hollywood whores life and where to dig a grave for her.

12. Well in the last election CNN let us know who Howard Dean was
To CNN and their audience, he was that "screaming guy". That was his entire platform and the reason he was running in the first place, right? So he could scream and CNN could show it all day long. And Wesley Clark was that guy who wanted to time travel, right? That's why he was running and CNN made sure the American public knew about his time travel plans.

13. Wes Clark won Oklahoma and all we heard about was his
driver's speeding ticket in that state.

THAT was when I knew the fix was in. The media simply was NOT going to cover him come hell or high water.
