2. Shouldn't the headline have been:
"Bush down by 3 since last week"? Didn't Gallup have Shrub up 8? God, I fucking hate those corporate media whores.

10. Exactly
The article says there's little change from the last poll, but if Kerry's lead had dropped from 8 to 5 points, they'd be saying "Bush surges!"

BTW, among RVs, the lead is 2, 48-46. Must've interviewed too many Repukes in their RV sample, again.

3. What do we expect from a network that uses Darth Vader's voice
for their tags: "This is CNN" ?

They have gone to the dark side. Alas.

6. Here's an accomplishment for a retarded president:
Bush opens up can of soda.
"In a startling development, the Commander in Chief successfully opened a can of 'Fresca' today without so much as destroying a single third world nation. This could spell disaster for the Kerry campaign."

:eyes:

7. Again would imply they did it intermittently when they do it steadily.

9. I emailed them
I emailed them for the 30th time or so asking them to quit trumpeting skewed polls. Why not show the other polls out there -- why present them in the way they do? I remind them that they are not supposed to be a part of the campaign.

Now I realize they probably won't pay a lot of attention to me -- but I do think that we must keep up the pressure on them. That is part of the way the right wing got the media to present themselves this way. Of course a lot -- probably more comes from ownership -- but still.

Let them know we are watching BUT with critical eyes, and let them know we do not approve. Let them know we are a sizable group and we will quit watching them if they don't shape up.

11. Interesting...tell me something
Was that the exact quote? When I went to the page moments ago it was, "Bush Commands a 5-point Lead" and now it's "Bush is up 5 Points in Poll"...

12. correction: CNN STILL WHORING FOR BUSH
your subject suggests that they ever stopped for a second.

you should have heard uber-whore Andrea MitcHELL a little while ago. they were talking about voter fraud and AM made it VERY clear that DEMOCRATS were filing false registrations and we're ***republicans*** challenging thousands of DEMOCRAT registrations? <judy's grinch grin>

of COURSE she didn't even mention the GOP phony GOTV fronts that were DESTROYING democrat registrations...

oh no... not "I Don't Evern Need Kneepads Anymore"

13. Biased CNN at it again
CNN reports today that Kerry is "Getting Help" from Clinton, Giuliani is "on the campaign trail" along with Bush.

Question: Why does Kerry need help and not Bush?
Answer: He doesn't, the Media wants to portray Kerry as 'weak'




They (the media) keep asking the (stupid) question "Will Bill Clinton overshadow Kerry?" Like it's a fucking question?

Question: Why does the media repeatedly ask this question?
Answer: Bill Clinton isn't on the ballot, it's an artificial story manufactured by the so called "Liberal Media" to cast doubt into the minds of would be Kerry supporters.




The Chief Justice William Rehnquist story is old, he's been in the hospital for days, it's old news yet CNN and other networks choose to "break" the story after the Iraqi Explosives story and the Clinton Kerry rally.

Question: Why are they reporting old news as "Breaking News"
Answer: They the "Iraq Explosives Missing" story will hurt Bush and the Rehnquist story is a nice excuse to change the subject.




After all this, you must ask yourself.... Is the Media really Liberal?
