FAUX, CNN, MSNBC post-press conference homepages

[fiore280]

You can tell some things about a news company when you look at their webpage following a major political event...or an event that has major political ramifications. Let's see tonight's lineup after President Obama's health care press conference.

Check out CNN (red underlining mine)



Ya think CNN wants us to be thinking about race when we consider this important debate on HEALTH CARE? I say maybe they really do.

And now for Faux News, doing what they do best. Check out how it says Obama is trying to "extract himself" from the debate. From watching the press conference, I would say he was trying to include himself! Silly me!








And finally, MSNBC, the most tolerable of the three

1. Well Done, Thanks

Thank GOODNESS for MSNBC and their mostly left positioning. Of course Faux is an obvious joke, but Conservative News Network tries to be stealthier . . . and fails.

2. thanks for this

3. CNN was running a special program this evening - Race In America

...to cover the subject of profiling, among other things.

Hence their website reflected that.

4. Yeah, I figured that...

I feel wrong saying this, but I feel like CNN has had some difficulty settling into their own self-imposed "no bias" posture. Instead of being without bias, they seem to be trying to attract (what they think is) a black audience. Their reporting on Michael Jackson's death was wall-to-wall. D.L. Hugley's show. Black in America 2: Backer and Blacker.

I don't have any problem if it is, but does anyone else think this is a concerted decision? In the same way that Fox (Network) became more associated with the A-A community than the big three, is CNN trying to do the same?

8. It's a timely issue

The program was in the works for a while, so it's not as if they threw it together, but with the Gates incident in the news, it came at a good time.

With Lou Dobbs in their line-up, I can't think of who CNN is trying to attract - non-humans, maybe.

[question everything]

5. immediately after he ended, Blitzer and Borger

had two minutes and Borger said that "the needle was not moved" about the health care debate, so they concluded that the only news was about Gates, which fed nicely into the "Black in America" that I am glad was finally aired, since it was impossible to watch any CNN without promotions and trailers. Now of course, it will be about re-runs..

6. Decent headlines.

7. CNN they are using it to promo their program... black in america II

Fox, well what can I say?
