Also, if the Repubs polled had been truthful, Biden would have gotten 100%. Anybody can see he mopped the floor with Ryan.

I deleted their app off my iPod now and everything and blocked their channel on my TV just like I do with Faux News. Screw CNN!

I am not one who expects their News Station to have a completely 100% Democratic view. I actually prefer a 50/50 view from both sides. I like to see the crazy things republicans come up with and contrast it to the sane side of the Democratic actions and views but when CNN produced that skewed poll and tried to pass it off as a totally legit reality and acted like they had a leg up on everyone else and all other polls were wrong that was the last straw for me.

Every one of the many right-wing nutjobs posting Fox fetishes and rube bait there calls CNN the "Communist News Network" and slams it for being "in the tank" for Obama. Every single one.

It's sad, that in this choice between two very different visions of America, with partisan battles about it going on for years that there
are people blowing in the wind about who to vote for. How dim-witted can a human being be ? And these are the people deciding the election !

I mean they do report news. They mess up sometimes and look like they just threw it together occasionally. They have the biggest bestest graphics, holograms, "Unidecided Voter" line graph thing at the bottom of the screen. Not a credible news source. I really only watch the debate on CNN.. MSNBC puts their logo on top and for some reason it looks cluttered and hard to watch. I guess I amjust used to every banner being on the bottom. Man I ramble.

can be discovered by looking at their front page. As of right now (Sunday at 10:30 EST), they still have a headline saying: "Poll: Romney ahead in key state". And it links to that Mason Dixon poll of Florida from Thursday. There have been 100s of polls since then, but they left that headline up because it is by far Romney's most favorable poll. They aren't even hiding it.
