CNN had "President Under Pressure" on the screen.

Edited on Sun Feb-08-09 08:53 PM by Life Long Dem

I know of the complete opposite from Obama's speech and by watching the whole night on C-SPAN and pressure was the last thing on my mind.

I don't recall the media talking like this about Bush. I could be wrong, but I had the impression Bush never even screwed up.

5. CNN is still trying to compete with Fox.

I watch about 20 minutes of TV in the morning as I eat breakfast before I go to work. CNN is losing the ratings war in our house to the Weather Channel...
