2. Can someone please explain

all these CNN threads ? What am I missing ?

3. After the debates, even if CNN's very own polls said Obama "won"

Blitzer et al would state it's a draw, or too close to call.

After the second debate Blitzer called it a draw when CNN's own polls gave Obama a 6 percent advantage.

Similar sort of thing with Biden's obvious win.

After the last debate Gergen said, even when it was something like 42 to 49 for Obama, that because it's not over 50 it doesn't count.


Also, what SunSeeker brilliantly described below.

8. But polls with Romney 49 to Obama 48 they call it a Romney LEAD Surge ETc

5. We're riffing on how CNN keeps describing states Obama is ahead as "too close to call,"

but if Romney is evey one point ahead, it's a Romney surge. For example, if you go to the CNN homepage right now, http://www.cnn.com/ it has a link to a story entitled "Ticker: Neck and neck...in Minnesota?"--but when you click on the story, you realize Obama is three points ahead (and has been ahead for some time). http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/?hpt=hp_t2

Hell, even that disasterous Meatloaf appearance with Romney is described on CNN online as having "unconventional appeal." Ya can't make this stuff up.

6. CNN The most trusted news station

have there heads up their collective asses! They always say to close to call when it is not. They also jumped the gun on Scotus decision re: Obama Care.
