Is CNN burying the voter debate reaction story? |
|
Last night there was a big hullabaloo about the debate reactions from a group of independent (I think) voters). I waited and watced for HOURS to see the report and ended up wqith a two minute piece showing two brief "measures" (one clearly showing Bush as "winning") and then brief irrelevent questions.
No "anyone make up their mind" questions or "who won" vote of the group.
I think they are burying this story because Bush crash-dived last night and Kerry soared!
anyone see anything else?

1. I avoided CNN, et al like the plague... |
|
But during the day yesterday I did hear them promote their "instant reaction meter" or whatever the hell it was. It sounded like a game show.
It wouldn't surprise me if they dropped it if it was landslide Kerry.

3. It takes about three days after any event to start to get valid results. |
|
Too early yet for any meaningful polls.

4. Anything that does not fit their "draw" spin will be buried. |

5. CNN just reported that the debate was a "tie" |
|
What debate were they watching?

6. Those "journalists" get millions not for journalism, but for propaganda. |
|
Imho, their job is to spin reality for their corporation to all of us, not to report news. They report enough news to make enough folks think they are journalists that they can still convince people of their propaganda.
