More blatant pro-McCain bias from CNN!
During Larry King tonight, Palin is speaking live somewhere in PA, and Obama is in Norfolk, VA.

They frequently interrupted the discussion to show several minutes of Palin giving the same warmed-over stump speech ("Joe the Plumber", "Spread the Wealth"), but they only show maybe 30 seconds of Obama (pretty much just his introductory remarks).

It seems like this has been the pattern for some days now on both CNN and MSNBC. Is anyone actively keeping track of how much airtime the various networks are giving the candidates?

1. CNN has definitely been pushing ...
... the "Obama's a socialist" meme, as if there is any real debate on this issue. Hey, let's get a few pundits in to discuss the topic, and we'll give viewers the impression that there maybe some truth to what Mcain and Palin are saying.

The fact is that Obama is nowhere near being a socialist! CNN is smearing Obama by making it seem that the issue is open to debate.

2. They even had that wingnut anchorwoman from Florida
who conducted that horrible interview of Biden on several times in the last few days. Actually spun it like Biden was the one being unreasonable!
