Dobbs Specials, Broken Government Series, Expanded Situation Room Leads CNN into Election Night

In the three weeks leading up to Election Day on Tuesday, Nov. 7, CNN will marshal its resources and political expertise in multiple one-hour reports looking at the widespread dysfunction besetting Congress, the courts and the executive branch. CNN’s unprecedented in-depth coverage includes:

CNN’s groundbreaking Broken Government investigations which expose issues of most concern to voters today with specials reported by Jack Cafferty, Candy Crowley, Jeff Greenfield, Ed Henry, John King, Jeffrey Toobin and Kitty Pilgrim;

Three special reports from Lou Dobbs, one of the most influential political journalists of today. Dobbs will examine the most pressing issues facing the middle class, the complex battle to curb illegal immigration and voting machine irregularities – subjects that he has personally vaulted to the forefront of national discourse; and

An expanded The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer and Paula Zahn co-anchoring from 7 to 9 p.m. (ET) from Monday, Oct. 30, to Friday, Nov. 3.

CNN’s coverage will culminate in three consecutive nights of wall-to-wall news and analysis surrounding Election Night. America Votes 2006 will air from 4 p.m. to midnight on Monday, Nov. 6, and Wednesday, Nov. 8, delivering the most comprehensive pre-game and post-game coverage anywhere on television. Anchoring Election Night on Tuesday, Nov. 7, from the new state-of-the-art studio in the Time Warner Center in New York will be Blitzer, Dobbs and Anderson Cooper, joined by Zahn. At midnight after the polls have closed on the West Coast, Larry King hosts a special two-hour edition of Larry King Live from Los Angeles will feature instant reaction from leading politicians and observers across America. CNN will continue offering live updates through the night, and American Morning co-anchored by Soledad O’Brien and Miles O’Brien will air at the special time of 5 a.m. (ET) on Wednesday, Nov. 8.

Or, more likely, some kind of ruse...

And CNN, while you're at it, why not preempt Kira Phillips too.

The moderation of the electorate has been recognized, and the MSM will not miss an opportunity to pander to the next wave of voters .... ANTI GOP voters ....

Fuck them: what can they tell me I dont already know ? ...

Will they tell me how THEY helped sell a pack of lies ? ...
