MSNBC New Ad Slams CNN

And FIXED for not running todays speeches .... Did any one catch CNN and their new 10 minute rule? I tune in to watch the Prez, because MSNBC was doing punditry and CNN was not. After 8 minutes, the CNN lady says, it's been ten minutes, we gave 10 min to Romney and in fairness, 10 minutes to the President of the USA.

I called CNN ... Utterly stupid call on their part .. MSNBC capitalizing

1. Never watch CNN. Noticed MSNBC said/promoted that it had run both POTUS and rmoney's entire speeches

That's good capitalizing, that's competition. Would be good if CNN cared, I guess.

wow. showing only 10 minutes of each speech. They have a 24 hour network. what did they have to go to? a missing white woman? george zimmerman? what would have changed with any story that couldn't wait until the speeches were shown? sickening.

Or whatever the current pop culture topic is hot this week. Maybe, who shot JR? (which I saw online today)

CNN is dead.

All those years of calling them the "Clinton News Network" finally paid off. They are spineless, and quite frankly more useless than FAUX at this point.
