CNN Continues to Fan the Flames of Racism

[iceman66]

Headline today on CNN dot com: "Is Obama Witch Doctor Image Racist?"

Are you fucking kidding me? OF COURSE it's racist. Any fool can see that.

It seems the only point of this story is to keep said 'image' alive in the minds of viewers, lest it be forgotten amongst all the other teabagger garbage.

Gotta love that liberal media!

1. That's Fox's job, not CNN's.

2. CNN is Fox Lite

and in a sense more dangerous, because the bias is much more subtle.

9. I agree they are more dangerous. Everyone knows what fox is, but cnn likes to pretend

they are objective

10. They also pander to the sheep

Faux Lite Indeed

3. I think it's a good thing that these assholes are being

exposed.

5. Except

The publicity that they are receiving is way out of proportion to their numbers. By giving them so much exposure, the media is playing right into their hands. And of course they know that.

6. Sometimes the exposure is what finally turns people away.

The civil rights struggles of the 1960s is a good example, good people finally said, "that's enough".

4. I quit watching CNN and I fell much better about life in general. n/t

7. Cable News is a ONE TRICK Pony

The fundamental way to push the propaganda is to disseminate it under the guise of "reporting" news. This is how the Swiftboaters were able to spend a paltry sum of a hundred or so thousand on some silly ad and then watch as the mainstream media took their ad and covered it 24/7 as a news story. The end result was that the Swiftboaters received tens of millions of dollars of FREE advertising for their lies on almost all news media in America.

8. This is my point exactly.

The media obviously can't come right out and support these crazy ideas, but they can give them publicity, and that's exactly what they want.

11. I appreciate the fact that they are exposing these assholes for exactly what they are.

So I guess we see it differently.
