Why is CNN carrying the entire stupid campaign speech???
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 12:34 PM by librechik
And it's going on FOREVER!!!

do they not miss the commercial income during these episodes???


This is not news. This is Munich 1936 complete with adoring crtowds and lying vainglorious propaganda.

CNN YOU ARE WHORES! NOT JOURNALISTS!!!

2. I've yet to see a crowd
so at this point I'm thinking canned applause and laughter.

11. imax2268 and I were discussing this on another thread. It might explain
the less than thrilled facial expressions on most of the soldiers on the stage.

He also had large group of law enforcement types up there to shake hands with.

Not enough troops willing to associate with the guy? I can only hope. MKJ

3. does CNN have a new fearless leader?
It seems to have gotten worse in the last couple of weeks. It was nasty, but has even seemed worse lately.

4. too many people on vacation
Edited on Wed Aug-24-05 12:47 PM by librechik
no one to make decisions.

Now what's this? Custom graphics to go along with the speech? Oh, I guess it's helpful to know that Idah loves Bush more than ANY OTHER STATE, so that's why he gets such an ecstatic welcome. Coward ahd to come here to make sure his audience was brain dead enough. Why is my country still so deluded???

This is a big campaign, all to pre-empt the return of Cindy.

Methinks it is too little too late.

Nevertheless, CNN seems determined to spend the rest of the day licking GOP butt.

Quelle surprise!

5. It's a 40 minute coffee break
I remember watching a press conference on CNN with * and the Chinese prime miniser. The english part of it ended and the PM was taking questions from Chinese journalists, it took CNN five minutes before anyone noticed that they were broadcasting something not in english and switched away.

7. Umm, it's called "balance"?
You know, you run 20 minutes of news, then you run 20 minutes of pro-Bush propaganda. It's just good journalism!

8. And then during election season,
they run one minute of the opponent's speech. Seems balanced.

:sarcasm:
