What a shock: CNN and Fox News Cut Coverage of the Philly Rally
Right before Senator Kerry attacked Bush on the weapon stockpile that were taken by terrorists. Is anyone shocked?

11. yes but they were they only ones
People that were watching Fox and CNN live did not even see it. This is a huge sign of bias. Fox News and CNN have almost been publicity whore's for Bush's Rally's, even though he usually just spews out the same rhetoric: "We need strong leaders blah blah blah". -End rant-

3. He got some good jabs in
But yeah, if it was Bush they wouldn't DARE cut away. By the way, C-Span is asleep at the wheel. No live coverage whatsoever.

6. No shock there
I wonder: who is watching TV at this time of the day?

Unemployed? Senior citizens? Well, won't vote for the chimp, will they?

10. Pretty interesting how all three of them cut him off
MSNBC was just a little late and let his mention of the explosives get out.

Hey pundits: NOBODY CARES WHAT YOU THINK! WE ARE WATCHING YOUR SHOW TO SEE THE SPEECH NOT YOUR BULLSHIT!

14. I'm fed up
If Kerry loses this election, we all know why. Something DRASTIC will have to happen, because this is not democracy.
