CNN DID IT AGAIN!
This AM, they're showing snippets of last night's discussions, so of course they did the following:

First, they showed Obama's statements about his youth wherein he talked about his drug use and youthful narcissism.

Second, they showed McLame's dissertation on his P.O.W. 'choice' to stay and how hard it was on him after that decision.

So I'll posit this choice:

Do you vote for the self-involved drug addict, or the war hero?

2. NBC no better--like that's a surprise
They showed the first sentence of O's reply on gay marriage, which would possibly hurt him with the gay community (if any of them could conceive of McBush's being better for America than O) while allowing McBush to attempt to defuse his adultery by talking about it himself.

Everyone (almost) in the media are following their marching orders. We've got a long road ahead of us.

the John McRove agenda.

3. I agree, it is nauseating
Edited on Sun Aug-17-08 07:59 AM by AZSlacker
I watched the whole thing last night and I thought Obama gave much better answers and had a much better overall performance than McCain. I've had the news for an hour so far this morning, and I've counted 4 times I've heard the "Above my pay grade" line with no context.

:banghead: :banghead:

9. Obama gave ANSWERS. Gramps gave scripted talking points.
9-11, my friends, drill everywhere for oil, my friends, did I mention I was a POW, my friends,yada yada yada......

A fucking parrot in a McCain t shirt could have stood in for him and nobody would have known the difference.

4. Don't forget the full-blown treatment they gave to Rev. Wright's

speech to the NAACP convention with dashiki wearing Roland Martin and Soledad O'Brien. They played and replayed the speech for two solid hours on a Sunday night.

5. wait till they realize the times they are a changin'
we KNOW you are lying to us, msm.

we take our eyeballs and deposit them in KO and Rachel and leave you to explain your policies to your advertisers after there is an echo every time you open your mouths....

eventually, they will follow the money. they are corporations after all and you can note that they have started contributing in trickles to obama, savvy as they are to the shift in the wind.

they are all scum, but the puppet strings are money.

OUR money.

10. No Mention Of McCain's First Wife?
Of course, McCain did not go into detail there. He did not even say adultery, so who was being more honest?

13. CNN has never liked Obama. They were blatantly pro-Hillary in the primaries, and
they're even worse now that it's McCain.

Gergen and Cafferty are the only non-party-affiliated commentators on that channel who will ever say anything positive about Obama.

As for Anderson Cooper, he obviously loves McCain, but his biased reporting seems to stem more from a deep-seated hatred of Obama.

Didn't America used to pride itself on an independent media? It's unbelievably pathetic that Americans now have no reliable source for tv media -- in fact, watching it makes people less informed.
