5. Yesterday, CNN Had A Teaser . . .

About an upcoming Reverand Wright Book Tour, which was preceded by clips of Reverand Wright's sermon. In the end, following several teaser clips, CNN announced that the Reverand Wright book was just a rumor that was false. Of course, if you did not stick around until the end, you were left with the impression that Reverand Wright was going on a book tour.

Can you imagine if we started an internet rumor about a book tour by Vicki Iselman detailing her affair with John McCain, and CNN pulled this same stunt with teaser trailers, then repeating the NYT story, only to announce in the very end that the rumor was false?

Is the media biased? Will this be a difficult election to win?
