Outrageous-CNN cuts off final President Obama campaign event/covers Mittens instead

This is outrageous. They gave President Obama just 10 minutes and then as soon as Mitt started talking, Erin Burnett cut the POTUS off and switched to Mittens. Now Erin Burnett is a known GOP republican hack that CNN poached from CNBC, but still this is an outrage and proof that they really are Fox lite!! I can't believe it!!

President Obama-10 minutes of CNN air time.
Mittens-at least 40-45 minutes

Your liberal media at work!!

The conservatives still think CNN is incredibly liberal because they have been conditioned that "fair and balanced" means anything completely off the charts to the right.

They seem to have changed within this past election cycle. It was obvious when they started calling the President something other than President Obama. I caught that right off. There are many good reporters on CNN but, they have been paid to report more Republican propoganda here lately. This is my opinion.

It was great--you could see the emotion on his face toward the end of the speech--he kind of broke up over this being the last campaign speech, and being back where it all began. You can't fake this kind of stuff.

Don't watch CNN!!

And if the election was last Monday he was up 4 or 5 points in the National but Sandy and the President looking Presidential messed that up. But now Romney is 1 point to the good and so he is gonna win...........oh my my my

I think I've seen her on CNN this year. She also sometimes goes on George's show on ABC as well.
