Wow, Cnn really at it today for clinton...
Edited on Mon Mar-03-08 04:29 PM by blocker
not that i really care but so far all they are doing is bashing Obama, and another story coming up is about a website wich is not affiliated to Obama's campaign about having african americans forcing black super delegates to change their votes to Obama. so it's obama bashing tonight, do they want clinton to win tomorrow?

6. What will they talk about after Hillary is out?
Oh wait, another well off white girl will go missing, and they'll spend 3 straight months talking about it.

I forgot.

7. It's been this way for a week or so
Once the Clinton campaign raised a ruckus accusing the media of favoring Obama, they've fallen in line. One day I saw Jeffrey Toobin, Gloria Borgia and Jack Cafferty all denying up and down the media played favorites. The *very* next day CNN was wall to wall Obama hit pieces.

8. TIMEWARNER. They've been in Hillary's pocket for years.
There's a reason why the repukes call it the Clinton News Network, you know.

9. If Clinton wins Ohio and Texas, CNN gets literally months' worth of free stories. No way in hell
they want this campaign to be over.

12. They have always shown some bias, but I've noticed that since this
weekend, they've become no-holds barred. Obama received very limited air time this weekend.

13. They've been pulling this for weeks. FREE Clinton TV commercials.
They keep showing her over and over, with a little Obama coverage here and there.

15. It really is the "Clinton News Network"
GOPers were right on that point.

16. Wait just an Illinoise minute there ...
I thought that Obama supporters were saying that blaming the press is just a form of whining.

Well, which is it?

(Wait for it ...)

"It's whining when Hillary does it, it's a nuanced perspective on the American conversation when Obama does it."

19. It's a MEDIA CONSPIRACY when Hillary gets any favorable coverage at all.
You didn't know that? Even though it's been hideously obvious the media has been driving her like a rented car for months now the second they ease up at all or - heaven forbid - peel back one of the sparkly layers of Teflon on the anointed one - it's time to break out the Kleenex and the blankies.

17. At least SOME of you acknowledge that "Clinton News Network"
is a right-wing talking point. For those of you who did not/do not, and continue to repeat it, the GOP thanks you for doing THEIR job for them.

Is anybody actually surprised at this editorial turn on the part of some cable networks? Obama has gotten an absolutely free pass the entire campaign, while Sen. Clinton has gotten the more negative coverage throughout the campaign (except for New Hampshire). Only now are the media beginning to ask questions about Rezko, etc. Frankly, I wouldn't be a bit surprised if they waitted until Obama has it just about sewn up, so that they cause him damage in the GE rather than in the primaries.

21. Last week it was Obama's "pastor" problem
Stories that MSNBC/FNC ignored that CNN plays up. I'm sorry but CNN has been shilling for Hillary.

The first 6 minutes of their primetime newscast was on Rezco and this non-issue NAFTA story. Cleary blatantly biased.

Mccain's pastor endorsement didn't get coverage on CNN?

MSNBC and FNC have largely ignored NAFTA, Rezco and the Obama pastor problem.

It's disgusting.

20. Thank you for posting that. Clinton News Network WAS a term coined by Rush Limpo.
Have certain DUers become dittoheads???
