CNNI is giving McCain a LOT of free airtime right now, giving a speech
in CO.

Where's Obama's free airtime? He had to pay for his 30 minutes. This is grossly unfair.

9. So CNN is treating it as a "foregone" and letting McCain go out on a high?
despite his dismally depressive and negative campaign?

Sounds similar to Bush in the WH rewriting his horrible tenure before he leaves office.

7. Pfff. They give Obama speeches lots of coverage too.
Freepers all think CNN is a left-wing tool, so they must be doing something right. I'vew found their coverage pretty even-handed overall, though I always reach for the remote when Lou Dobbs appears.

12. Or Euro News - they were covering it today in English
If I remember you are in a big city - we had planned to be in Berlin but my husbands' meeting changed. I really wanted to celebrate in Berlin - kind of like Victory in Europe Day. My husbands' work did a poll and McCain only got one bet b/c she said she could win a ton of money if he wins. :rofl:

11. It's like in reality tv shows when the person who is being eliminated/voted off
That person gets a lot of airtime in the episode only to leave at the end.
