This is a JOKE. CNN is nonstop Palin/McCain, with a 70/30 Repuke/Dem split in commentators
Edited on Sat Sep-06-08 06:07 PM by Harvey Korman
Before it was some jerkoff with grey hair (don't know his name) who would show long clips of McCain and Palin attacking, and then one edited-down clip of Obama, and pair that with a conservative to "comment." At one point he said, "Joe Biden has praised Palin for being a new star--of course he said she didn't have enough substance--but let's focus on the first part!" :puke:

Then they had some guy from the Politico on who said that none of the scandals brewing around Palin had any substance or should prevent her from being a viable candidate.

Now it's an entire biographical segment called "McCain Revealed."

I guess all the Repuke whining about the media actually being honest for 45 seconds had its intended effect.

1. Shiny new thing syndrome.
That's all it is.

The only thing missing is Billy Mays.

2. well it wouldn't make it exciting coverage
if it was obvious it was going to be a Democratic landslide would it?
They'll do what they can to keep it close and even if it isn't they'll pretend it is.
