3. see my reply #2

[TomInTib]

2. That was beyond weird

[Pithy Cherub]

4. CNN did that...

:wow:

[in_cog_ni_to]

5. OMG...that's just unforgivable! The Democrats need to raise holy hell over that one!

:grr::nuke:

[mirandapriestly]

20. That was no accident. This is an outrage! eom

[H2O Man]

35. I agree.

This was no an accident.

[Cooley Hurd]

6. Sceeen cap:

[SalmonChantedEvening]

[mod mom]

21. Thanks for the link-done.

[Divernan]

25. My email to CNN

"Type of error: A deliberate error - identifying a picture of Osama Bin Laden with the caption: "Where's Obama?"
Need I explain it to you in words of one syllable? Obama is a prominent black Democratic Senator. Osama is the 9/11 terrorist Bush allowed to escape from Afghanistan. (Sorry I have a few multisyllable words in there - hope it wasn't too difficult for you to grasp!)"

[murray hill farm]

31. done!

That is the most horridly irrisponsible thing I have ever seen on any tv news...Even if they apologize, I hope they are heavily fined.

[Poiuyt]

54. Thanks - email sent

[madrchsod]

10. that is not a typo

unless they have tech school drop outs running the graphics dept today

[Benhurst]

11. Typo? Yeah just like Fox kept identifying the pederist Congressman from

Florida as a Democrat.

Cable news is little but propaganda for the Junta. And not very subtle propaganda at that.

[Sydnie]

19. they also said that either Delay or Ney (can't remember which)

was a dem too. Rat Bastadages!

[Selah]

12. Folks, think about it!

It was a mistake. There is no way any media is going to purposely do that especialy CNN.

[GeorgeGist]

13. Welcome to DU...

think again.

[Morgana LaFey]

44. Well put

succinct and to the point.

[in_cog_ni_to]

14. You forgot your sarcasm tag?

You can't be serious. RW corporations OWN the media. Of course this was deliberate. It was a warning shot for Obama...See what we can do to you? They floated the Barak Hussein Obama crap for a few weeks and found out the public wasn't going to put up with it and finally dropped it. This was INTENTIONAL.

[Selah]

26. Sadly, I know sarcasm all too well

still sounds like conspiracy theory to me. If not, what purpose does it serve? How does one know for a fact that it is deliberate? And, yes, why bite the hand that feeds you.

[rebel with a cause]

33. What is the purpose?

To place the thought of Obama being connected to Osama in the publics mind. If nothing else but to suggest that he is a Muslim and connected to the terrorist. The right wing columnist and talk show host are already suggesting this. And the hand that feeds the CNN is more apt than not to be corporations who are enabled by the present right wing government.

Gee it was only two or three years ago that people were calling talk of voting fraud or errors due to the electronic voting machines as being conspiracy theories, and look at us now. It was three to four years ago that people said we were conspiracy theorist when we suggested bush was going to take us into Iraq. Look at us now. Give me a good conspiracy theory anytime to sitting with our eyes closed and not seeing what is about to smack us square in the face.

[Selah]

48. Further....

You mean that CNN deliberately conspired to snuff out Obama now in order to prevent him from becoming president? That is their goal? They would risk alienating millions of viewers for this? Besides, if the right wing were to conspire against a Dem. candidate, it is most likely to be against the front runner to prop up a candidate with a less favorable chance of winning don't you think? Your eyes wide open approach is admirable, but there is a fine line between that and seeing a "boogy man" behind every corner.

[rebel with a cause]

52. the front runner is running alone right now, and so his being in first place means very little.

Also, it is a long time between now and 2008. I will be nice to you, nicer than I think you are being. I do not see a "boogy man" behind every corner, I gave up believing in him the day I gave up organized religion. But I do know that racism still exists in this country. I also know that a white man is preferred by many to be the candidate over one that is a minority or a woman. I also know that some of those who might run for the presidency in 2008 are much more preferable than others to the corporate msm, and if the one they prefer is the front runner, they will protect him by attacking others. I also know that those in power do use the media to put their message of choice out there. These are not conspiracy theories, they are known. So excuse me if I suspect that this might be a convenient "typo" by CNN.

You don't. Well, that is your choice, but don't tell me what I should believe.

[Selah]

53. Sincerely - no offense intended

Caution to those who associate a connection to Him and organized religion - it is no substitute for a personal relationship with Christ. Not once did I tell you what to believe. I genuinely applauded you and pointed out there is a only a thin veil between. Additionally, I suggested that the perceived front runner would most likely be the target of any impropriety. At this point, I think you stand corrected. I agree with everything else you said.

[rebel with a cause]

55. Okay,

whatever you say.

[stillcool]

34. conspiracy?...

oh that is too much. :rofl: you really are funny!! Do you do stand-up?

[H2O Man]

36. It never happened.

It's just those crazy DUers, biting the hand that feeds them.

[Crunchy Frog]

40. Bite the hand that feeds me what, exactly? n/t

[originalpckelly]

42. It may not be CNN as a whole organization, it may very well be an employee...

who's a reichwinger. But I think we are all keen to jump to the next step, because FOX News pulled the same trick. They tried to pass Mark Foley off as a Democrat, repeatedly.

I know it's not a typing error, just look at your qwerty keyboard, "s" and "b" aren't even near each other.

[Bluebear]

46. Feeds me what? Wolf Blitzer? Thanks, I'll pass. nt

[Miss Chybil]

47. I'm sorry, but CNN doesn't "feed" me and

"s" is a long way from "b."

[Selah]

50. I stand corrected

However, if no one here is watching CNN, how did this ever get noticed?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

17. Oh, please. I could believe it was a mistake if

S and B were close together on a keyboard. But they aren't.

[cui bono]

32. doesn't matter where the keys are on the keyboard

it's what is going through the mind of the person typing. The similarity could have caused a mistake to be made. Hell, Sen. Kennedy made that mistake verbally a while ago, do you think he did it on purpose?

[Crunchy Frog]

41. It takes alot more deliberation to put letters up on a TV screen

than it does to make a verbal utterance.

[SeveneightyWhoa]

22. "Especially CNN"?

What, you mean the "liberal media"?

:rofl:

Get outta here.

[Crunchy Frog]

24. Yeah, cuz CNN is so especialy liberal. Right?

[GenDem]

No mistake...

it was just a few short months ago when Fox put the letter D next to Foley's name. All three of the cable news channels pull this shit all the time!

[GenDem]

38. No mistake...

it was just a few short months ago when Fox put the letter D next to Foley's name. All three of the cable news channels pull this shit all the time!

[Individualist]

39. Conservative News Network did that deliberately

[Bluebear]

45. "Especially CNN"??? Oh ho ho ho hoAHAHAHAahahAHAHAH!

:rofl:

[onecent]

16. Typo MY ASS. That was intentional...You can take that to the bank.

Retards.

[lonestarnot]

18. WTF!?

[Crunchy Frog]

23. Typo, my a**!

:grr:

[Pastiche423]

27. Absolutely not a typo

This early in the '08 cmapaign and we already know who scares them most.

Obama keeps looking better and better in my eyes.

[rebel with a cause]

30. Am I the only one that feels that a certain candidate is

being pushed a little too much already? Let's see, another rich white southern man being pushed by the msm. Why would they prefer him to some others that might be in the running, especially Obama ? Not saying anything about the man mentioned, just the way he is being pushed so hard.

[Pastiche423]

37. That certain candidate

can be pushed every day and twice on Sunday, but he won't get my vote. In fact, I haven't seen any attempted smears on that certain candidate.

Strange, eh?

[Gregorian]

28. I find it disturbing that I knew what it was before even reading this post.

My first thought was, let me guess, Osama in place of Obama.


Well all I can say is if that works, then Americans deserve exactly what they get. That is kindergarten mentality. We aren't even in the third grade yet on this one.

[originalpckelly]

43. If Saddam Hussein was responsible for 9/11, then it's possible.

:-)

[rebel with a cause]

29. Stewart will be back next week, right?

Maybe he will cover it. Anyone want to make sure he does, then email him about it. I know he reads his emails, because I sent him an angry one some time ago (probably along with a lot of other people) and he mentioned on air that he had emails from pissed off people. He apologized and said he would try to do better. I'll pass on this one, I may be blacklisted from his reading along with some other people that I have contacted over the last few years. B-)

[judaspriestess]

49. cnn and all the other 'msm'

better watch out for their 'typos'. The American people, well at least the intelligent observants, will NOT stand for this effed up shit. glenn beck should sound the alarm for anyone who thinks this is a typo. This is very wrong and the stupid unthinking masses are going to link Obama to osama very quickly.

[BlooInBloo]

51. Typo conceptually implies accidental. That was no typo.

[symbolman]

56. The first thing you learn when creating communications

Ads, commercials, and political attack ads especially, is that the public needs to GET the communication even with the SOUND OFF.

This so totally fits that bill, making an unconscious connection, for those even faintly paying attention.

Obviously deliberate, and CNN has been sinking lower and lower as of late, the DEATH COUNTDOWN being so absolutely SICKENING and Disrespectful to the VIEWERS as well, that I've turned them off completely.

Just too fucking NEEDY if nothing else, like cheap sluts, willing to anything to get your attention at all costs.

I had turned them off right after the SELECTION and Refused to watch CNN for nearly two years, then had to with the Iraq Lies being spread, our site forced (along with many folks writing into them), CNN to PUT BACK 750 words they'd stricken from a Hans Blix report that VERY AFTERNOON.

That being the heady days of Takebackthemedia.com working hard (writing a book as of late, so we've not been as active) - but once my book is done and out there, believe me, TBTM is going to go after CNN with a Vengence (don't worry Mr Gonzales, only a boycott or two, no violence from us)..

[shance]

57. Bushco owns all the media - why does this surprise you?

They knew they had to steal the media, and over the years, that is what they have done.

In order for us to change this, we have to take our media back LOCALLY, that is the best and most efficient way to do it. We need to be working on it this year while we still have say within our own local governments and city councils.

If we take back the media, we take back the country.

In order to do that we have to do it locally, and nationally by mobilizing in each and every major city. It won't change by some day protest, it will have to be days, weeks, even months.

We need to all be hitting our town halls in mass numbers to demand local ownership of our press and media.

The private oil interests along with other corporate entities all own by rich white males now own all of our media.

That is not right. It is also why we are receiving a significant amount of more biased, racist, misogynistic and overall very skewed media coverage.

Don't let them fool you into believing that what is aired on television is all about ratings. Thats the biggest lie in the book. Look at all the right winged zealots and tell me that is just "ratings".

Uh huh.
