Is it just me, or is CNN showing bias towards Bush/Ahnold?
I actually took time to watch CNN's crossfire/inside politics today, and it seemed to me that their whole focus was to tell the American people that the Dems had no message, Dean was left-wing, and that Lieberman was the man who would win the nomination. For some strange reason they didn't question Shrub's claims that the massive tax cut would 'eventually' provide jobs. I was glad they gave Dean air time (though they were obviously on the attack-he handled it well), but wondered why in the world they couldn't have invited some of the other Democrats to talk as well-seems to me they hardly give anyone but Bush air time.

And the same goes for Ahnold and the CA primary. As I understand it, there are 135 candidates in the race, and at least 4 of them are serious about it. There are other conservatives running, but I don't even know their names-and I'm wondering if this isn't what CNN wants. If too many people know about other candidates, the vote will split and either Davis will win with a NO on the recall or Bustamonte will be placed in high office.

I really wish I could get CSPAN, but my Dish program (10 channels at $15 a month) won't allow it. I think I'll stick to NPR and the Net for news from now on, though it bothers me that some people might think that CNN is 'fair and balanced' to borrow a copyrighted trademark from another freeper network.

2. Not to worry...
they display a large amount of support for that steroid-hopped, block-headed, horse-toothed, overgrown monkey.

4. Rusty
Rusty Dornin did do a good job jumping on Arnold at the state fair with that quick "Why won't you debate?" question. That was fun to watch live.

5. I think everybody is
The other networks, I mean. There was this whole segment on the TV Guide Channel (not even news) where the host was airing these clips of Leno, Letterman and others making cracks about the whole campaign. Now that by itself's not so bad, considering comedians make fun of everything, it's just that all the jokes in this segment seemed to be anti-Davis.
