27. CNN still apologizing to Romney

Oct 2012

CNN going all out to help correct the Romney self destruct moment seem to not happen... Hoping to get in the favor of Romney. Now CNN is using the GOP talking point that the POTUS took 19 days to call it an act of terrorism act of terror the day after wasn't about the subject for having the Rose Garden press conference, Benghazi.

Now the only other station to run the Rev. Wright story just as much or more than fox news was CNN. So expect them to repeat this until it explodes or up to election day.

Terrorists, or people claiming to be terrorists, take credit for everything bad that happens. JDPriestly Oct 2012 #57
So, the President and SOS should have run to microphones and spewed this? sinkingfeeling Oct 2012 #13
I agree. but joeglow3 Oct 2012 #21

What was CNN wrong about in their reporting? n/t sharkman25 Oct 2012 #36
It's a non-story. No new info, just calculated spin. Misleading. Propaganda. leveymg Oct 2012 #42
That's non responsive to the question and does not defend your intital statement. sharkman25 Oct 2012 #43
You've never heard of factual but misleading reporting before? leveymg Oct 2012 #48
