Another morning on CNN and another backhanded way to bash Obama.

[chelsea0011]

Senators Conrad and Chambliss were on CNN talking about their "gang of 10" bipartisan group to tackle the current energy issues. So CNN and Roberts show one clip to discuss. The clip? A speech by McCain where he attacks Obama as Dr. No for all the issues he is against relating to energy. Never mind that McCain is making most of this up (I doubt Obama is against the electric car) but why does CNN give only McCain free ad time? Conrad tried to get in some comments about the lies of McCain but Roberts cut him off at the knees. Day in and day out CNN will have negative stories about Obama and seldom any about McCain.

1. Tell that to my Republican friends.

This woman unabashedly watches Fox News because -- for some odd reason she hasn't been able to figure out, apparently -- Fox is the only new organization that doesn't lie. The rest of them, especially CNN and MSNBC, are totally pro-Obama and ultra liberal. Republicans will never believe that Obama is getting reamed by the media. If you so much as say "McCain has white hair," Republicans will circle the wagons and Joe Scab will have his panel of invited shills spend two hours disecting the evil terrible things people are saying about McCain and how Obama can't close the deal.

But yeah...all the media is liberal. Sure.

2. All anyone needs to do is watch differing newscasts to know that McCain is

all but given free ad time everyday. I pick on CNN most the time because I watch their morning AM show daily and day in and day out Obama is portrayed in a negative light. As bad a week McCain had and Gramm's comments did get much press but as soon as the Jesse Jackson comments broke, it was all Jesse all the time. And unlike Gramm Jackson isn't even on Obama's staff.

6. This is why I'm sooooo glad he opted out of public financing

Having the media in his pocket is worth hundreds of $millions$ to McThuselah.

3. Roberts seems determined to back McCain whenever he can

Media Matters has been doing a great job chronicling John Roberts and his obvious spin for McCain:

The creepy part about Roberts is that he wants to put on airs that he's Dan Rather, but is woefully transparent in his mission.

4. They need to add Anderson Cooper...

Sanchez,Campell brown,whose husband has been on Bush's payroll,and Kiran Chetry a transplant from fox.

7. He's an assclown.

None of the empty hairdos on CNN will ever hold a candle to Rather.

5. That's why I have not respected CNN as a news source for a long time.

They are not close to objective. Closer than Fox, but not honestly telling the truth about the Bush-Cheney blunders and the John Sidney McCain III flip flops and downright lies.

8. Faux light ...

flat out ...

All year need to know is when the spot opened up, the gave Glenn Beck a visual platform to spew his mentally deranged, right wing lunacy ...

Either way, as noted, it isn't as bold faced as Faux, but there is there is a perpetual negativity to all that is democratic/liberal and a complete acceptance as fact all that is republican propoganda ... I had to stop watching him, cause if I heard Wolf Blitzer say GOOD conservative one more time I would have had to use credit to buy a new TV ...
