WTF CNN?!????
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 01:14 PM by thenext8seconds


McCain exclaiming he loves being behind is more important than fucking Colin Powell endorsing Obama??

Now it's definitely getting obvious you're trying to tighten up the race. (notice the top headline on the right also)

WTF!!!! :banghead:

2. So McCain loves being the underdog, eh?
Good. He can stay there. And CNN has clearly entering the "bargaining" stage of grieving over this election.

3. stop going to their site, stop going to their channel - ignore them
seriously - go to another channel, read the local paper or go to another website. They are tools.

29. I avoid them too. But it can be amusing to note the crap they peddle.
As long as I'm not the one watching it.

30. yeah, me too
I watched c-span for the debates and I do go to MSNBC because they usually are more left leaning. other than that, it's local channels, local print and some internet outlets like WaPo.

31. The court jesters tell the truth and make you laugh - I live
For Letterman, Stewart and Colbert

And this Bill Maher and Chris Rock interview got my five star approval as well.

5. They had headlined Powell in that space earlier.
This is their "Fairness Doctrine", despite there being no such thing thanks to them. :rofl:

9. when you add in how many votes the RNC will steal and how many voters they purged, it is tight
don't underestimate their ability to steal it again.

13. Yawn.
Who cares? It's not like anyone's vote is influenced by CNN.com, and if it gets a few Obama supporters paranoid enough to vote instead of staying home, good.

14. As Chris Rock said "Obama thinks getting the most votes will actually mean something"
"Congratulations, Barack, you got the most votes. Too bad you lost."

19. If McAss was two points ahead it would be an "insurmountable lead"
I saw that headline this morning and laughed out loud ... especially since Gallup had just released its last daily #.
However, there's no such thing as a big lead when you're running against the modern GOP.

22. TIME WARNER says push McCain then they push McCain.
That's it folks.
Poll of the Republicans upstairs in the executive lounge says McCain support is growing.
Ooooh, the race is tightening.

25. That's okay. Let them tout "tight polls."
It isn't going to hurt us; it can only help us by keeping Obama supporters energized.

CNN is a news organization that is supposed to report the facts, but they gave up the "Most Respected" mantle a long time ago, so thank you CNN. We certainly wouldn't want our supporters to get complacent. I'm sure Obama thanks them too!

28. Yeah, how can being down by 6 points in an AVERAGE of the polls ...
... be interpreted as "still tight"? It's a significant margin, and represents a growing lead. The headline should be, after today's Powell endorsement and the campaign contributions report, that McCain's campaign is in a downward spiral as popular opinion turns against him and his campaign choices and tactics.

33. The press is simply the Ministry of Propaganda - right now they have to build
Edited on Sun Oct-19-08 03:11 PM by truedelphi
Up little links to help them establish that the possibility exists for a major reversal.

They can easily do it - they did it in 2000 and 2004. The fact that Obama is onto them and not afraid to announce that he is on to them bodes well.
The fact that 80% of all of us will be voting on machines like those built by Diebold and ES&S bodes badly.

Who coutns the vote? ANd who announces the conclusion f that votte count? ANd how often will the Talking Heads tell us on eletion night that it is of PRIME IMPORTATNCE that we resolve the election and its victor in a hurry!!

But ya know, we could still have a terrorist plot come about on November third that would suspend everything. That could pull the plug on the internet and our communications. Ecept for corporate media like M$ TV.

34. CNN "is" for McCain. They want you to think it's a close race
so the Republican manufactured and programmed voting machines can steal another election! I will never forgive them for covering up the coup of 2000! Make no mistake, CNN is for McCain, like they were for Bush. I watch MSNBC's Keith Olbermann and Rachael Maddow, tired of CNN. Look what they did before. The only way McCain can win the election is by cheating with the Republican programmed and manufactured voting machines.
