CNN has a live program on now, "defending the ABC debate". I kid you not.
Tomorrow night, on Larry King, the eve of the PA primary, Clinton for the full hour. Bookmark this for the next time someone argues with you that CNN is 'not' the ClintonNewsNetwork. Oy.

1. I don't watch CNN or MSNBC or ABC or FOX
The only exception is KO.

I also watch CBS, but not the nightly news.

That is all.

4. I just got done with my Sunday night guilty pleasures, so thought
I'd look for some news. THIS is what I tuned into. It's pretty revealing. The whole show is moving on, but that panel's intent blew me away.

12. Yeah....I watch the Comedy Channel and HBO and stuff......
but in reference to the Networks and the 1996 Telecom Act signed by Bill Clinton Triplets, other than KO, can't watch. I have tried, but time and time again, they upset me to where I end up talking to the TeeVee. You know you need to turn it off when that happens!

24. I saw a link somewhere and went for a quick look
looks like you have quite a good group and everyone enjoyed themselves. Curious how much time they seemed to spend talking about DU. Could have been a one time only.

Actually my whole life I have been described by folks as a complete contrarian. Only Democrat in my family, only guy at Seminary to convert to Buddhism. Probably something that could be treated by a good therapist but honey no one has ever called me a sheep.

27. Of course you aren't.
But all she's left with are ad hominem attacks. Sad, really.

16. I watch Headline News and CNN's Ballot Bowl
And the primary returns just to see John King utter the words "We're calling the race for Barack Obama..." while trying to keep a straight face.

17. I like how on MSNBC,
whenever Chuck Todd starts explaining why they aren't calling a race, the race is called while he is in mid-sentence.


Lanny Davis has an article on the Huffington Post bitching about media bias and according to him, The Situation Room is the enemy, as it is pro-Obama and anti-Hillary.

20. That's really funny! The 'drive-by' media, as Rush says, supported
by all those folks who support 'liberal' ideals. Yet Rush supports Hill, as does CNN. Go figure. :crazy:

21. CNN has been one long Clinton campaign commercial.
I haven't watched CNN for quite some time. I didn't realize how biased for Clinton they were. Wow.

22. I take back some of the snark; there's been some measure of
Obama support on this, and Rep.Patrick Murphy, a big Obama supporter, is coming up.

it'll be one big snooze fest for the Hillary base.

26. F*k 'em. I'm not watching
Rather bitter at this point at the quality of the media, and it seems now they are intent on screwing themselves into an even tighter hole.

35. They truly are. It's almost another form of entertainment altogether.
Well, she had every advantage going in: Name recognition and she inherited a donor base and the party machine. Now she has her own network.

My son and I were laughing because at the end of the hour they had this handful of students over at the edge of the set that got to say they supported Obama for a couple minutes so, hey, it was practically equal time.

38. I'm not surprised.
Did you see This Week with George Stephalococcus?

Sam Donaldson was nearly apoplectic about people being upset with the tone of the debate.

Marchin orders are in and aren't being changed due to the changin situation on the ground.

Oughtta be an interesting election indeed.
