CNN just ripped on Palin - Earmarks, Ted Stevens connection....
even had a former employee (worked for her when she was Mayor) saying she's not qualified.

OUCH.

Could it be? Is the media *finally* doing its job?

2. Good. They should be pissed.
McCain really bit the hand that feeds him with this one.

5. It's 2.49. Will that be shown in the high viewer hours?

Sorry, but it's hard not to be VERY skeptical.

The Obama team should check them out for a future ad.

They're doing a good job on this.

"let's make the Obama camp think we are going to do our job before it's too late for them to do anything about it when they realize that we have no intention of exposing the flim flam artists."

7. It's a package they've been running for days...
I think the McCain campaign got on their bad side since refusing the LKL interview due to what THEY called "crossing the line" for asking Tucker Bounds for an example of ONE order Palin gave the Alaska National Guard.

10. ahhh. I see. I hadnt noticed it before today.
I'm stuck with CNN in my office now, since they took MSNBC away. It sucks. And oddly enough... MSNBC is *still* on channel 40 on my tv with the digital box. So annoying.

14. During the Olympics, I watched CNN since MSNBC was covering the Olympics. It was
really bad. But now, CNN is "on the ball."

11. That's not very respectful or deferential of CNN, is it?
Now they're NEVER gonna get to interview Little Sarah Smartass, and they won't be allowed to join the WH press corps once she's queen.
