CNN ticker: Obama campaign working to recruit the grassroots

[NightWatcher]

um, ok how?

I hate turning on the news because you get nonsense like this. There was no story behind the ticker, just a Twitter-like blurb.

Breaking News: Somewhere something happened to somebody!

Five minutes on CNN is five minutes too many.

1. CNN lost me

when the got rid of Elliot and reduced Anderson to segment reporting

2. I've been getting notices from them asking to recruit 50 people to the campaign.

They are on Facebook a lot.

4. They have a lot of Wall St money for paid staff this time - good thing, kinda low on volunteers.

Like hell if I'm gonna knock 4,000 doors again for that DINO.

5. Not much cost to Facebook.

6. Oops. replied to wrong entry...

3. CNN is fine for catastrophes - useless, otherwise.

I'll condition that by saying, the network has some decent global talent - but, vastly underutilized.

They have to dump the plastic blondes and newsreaders. Stupid, outmoded format.

7. Good for them

and what campaign doesn't?

8. If they want true grassroots support, give the grassroots REASON to support them

HINT: cutting medicare and social security ain't gonna do it.

9. Jessica Simpson is building billion dollar empire.

Saw that on their ticker once. That thing is so worthless.
