Unbelievable! CNN voter fraud story disrupted by "technical difficulties"
Coincidence? Yeah, right. CNN is about to air a story on the voter fraud allegations relating to RNC registration efforts in Nevada and Oregon, and just a few second into it they cut away, citing "technical difficulties."

1. it seems they've had
a lot of spotty technical difficulties lately. :eyes:

Don't you think that would affect what they can charge for advertising? :shrug:

7. CNN has more technical difficulties when it comes to JFK than
AirAmerica has in general. Who says irony is dead? Or is this reverse irony?

3. Same thing happened to me yesterday watching MSNBC
Same same story and a 45 sec. loss of the feed.

Hmmm.

4. Why would they spend the money to prepare a story just to cut away
at a crucial moment? To suggest to the suggestible viewer that there's a conspiracy behind everything?


I'm sure it really was "technical difficulties."

8. Well they get to have it both ways--lose most of the impatient,
channel surfing audience yet still claim they aired serious topics like this one to show how fair they are.

5. It's fine now.
Is it CNN that does this, or can the Regime somehow snarl up cable signals?

11. "CUT! CUT!! CUT!!!"
Always a few minutes in, just enough time for Karl to call the
network CEO, and the CEO to dial the direct line to the newsroom.

When it finally did air (if at all) it was probably trimmed a bit.
