CNN predicts bush win - is that fair and balanced reporting?

[Oddman]

Why on earth are they predicting a bush win 5 frigging days before the election????


A Pathetic Excuse for a pResident

[bigwillq]

1. When did they say this?

And did they flat out say that or just eluded to it?

Glad I stopped watching cable new 12 days ago.

[lightbulb]

2. why ask why?

It's CNN. They don't need no stinking reason!

[Kierkegaard]

3. Won't they feel stupid when Asshat* gets his clock cleaned next

Tuesday? How irresponsible.

[Tweed]

4. "Dewey Defeats Truman"

[Stew225]

5. Does anyone else but me doubt this? eom

[debatepro]

18. I just saw it

The first predicted shrubage would win and then talked about "flohpa" If kerry is up in "flohpa" its over.

[IHaveADream]

21. LOL!!!!

I saw the same thing - they say it's an uphill battle for Kerry.

CNN buries themselves deeper . . .

[qanda]

39. What is flohpa?

eom

[StopTheMorans]

42. took me a second too, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania

Every time you watch CNN God kills a kitten. Think of the kittens.

17. CNN makes baby Jesus cry, also

heehee!

[incapsulated]

7. You need to be a lot more *specific*

What, exactly, was said, and by whom, in what context?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Who, specifically, said that?

One of their regular staff whores or a guest whore?

And will their be vast quantities of egg on somebody's face next week?

[KEBC04]

11. :(

CNN is turning into Fox News :(

[The Magistrate]

9. The Prediction Is False, Sir

Therefore they will have only sealed their foolishness in bond, so to speak, and doomed their franchise....

"LET'S GO GET THOSE BUSH BASTARDS!"

[lancdem]

10. Good

They'll just look like embarrassed fools on Nov. 3.

[Clinton Crusader]

12. huh?!?!? WHO??? WHEN??

:kick:

[IHaveADream]

14. I just heard it on the Paula Zahn show

The brought up the electoral map and said bush has it and Kerry has a long uphill battle. It wasn't really a prediction but it was close . . . .

[eaprez]

20. WHO said it? A Guest or Paula...

...if it was a guest, thats acceptable. That's why they're guests...so they can solicit their opinions...and you know what they say about opinions.

[DuaneBidoux]

38. Yea' be careful...if they've got some freeper guest from the Bush

camp they're doing the psyche game (just the way we do). If it is an official anchor getting on and saying "Bush will win" that's another story.

[theboss]

41. Who is they?

Every network for the last month has been making a new prediction every five minutes. You can drive yourself crazy if you take it seriousy.

[friesianrider]

13. Is that like calling Florida for Gore?

Then for Bush, then for Gore, then for Bush?

CNN is doing their damndest to sway public opinion that Shrub is unbeatable. Those of us in the REAL WORLD know there's no way in hell he'll win. Period. I seriously have never seen the country like it is today.

When you've got half the damn RAP world voting against you for the first time in their lives, you suck pretty bad.

[Medium Baby Jesus]

15. Worst post of the day award

No context. No details. No nothing.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

16. Simply not true.

They had several different scenarios for each
of them winning, all of them tenuous.
CNN did NOT "predict" anything.

[Fluffdaddy]

19. Really Bad post oddman

[lightbulb]

25. Aww, at least it got us all talking

I mean, look at us. We're all friends again!

[meisje]

22. "IF THE ELECTION WERE HELD TODAY" Open your ears

and bush were able to take certain states, he would win.

[seraph]

23. Gee...

Let's all send them kind and thoughtful emails asking them to reconsider their opinions. :puke::puke:

[sallyseven]

27. Just remember that

They have to say that bush will win. It is in the contract. No bad stuff about bushie. If all the votes get counted Kerry will win. We have to make sure that all the votes are counted. If there is any wisper of bush cheating again there will be a march on DC.

[seraph]

30. Ooops!

Here, let me fire off a kind and thoughtul email to them.:puke:

[LSK]

24. dont worry,nobodys watching, they are all at a kerry rally!!

[bush equals idiot]

26. Need I remind you

who their adoring poll company is? They had Colorado red, W. Va red, Florida red, Iowa red.........

GALLUP.......giddy up, gallup, git otta here, go on, git. and while you're leaving, get fucked! :puke:

[helpisontheway]

28. WHo said it? Paula or her guest?

[A-Schwarzenegger]

29. NOBODY FUCKING SAID IT!

Some idiot pollster was going thru various scenarios
in which each could win.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. No need to yell. We're all routing for Kerry here.

:-)

[A-Schwarzenegger]

33. Youre absolutely right and yet

I'LL FUCKING YELL ANY MOTHERFUCKING TIME I WANT TO YELL!! :-)

[Catherine Vincent]

34. Okay. Kerry on!

p.s. I see you like crushing things and sexual battery? LOL! Funny!

[A-Schwarzenegger]

35. I see you have the sense of humor

of a treetrunk. :-)

[Catherine Vincent]

36. I do have a sense of humor.

That's why I thought your profile was funny. I should have put a smiley face.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

45. I should have put a smiley on too!

Oh, I did!
No, youre right, I did misunderstand & got my dander up.
I'm sorry.

[lightbulb]

31. What CNN knows that we don't is

that they are going to apply the Rumsfield-Iraq method of allowing voting only in certain areas of the country. They aren't going to let the enemies of freedom in new england, the great lakes and the pacific coast states stand in the way of democracy.

[vetwife]

37. ROFL..I heard he was going to predict and knew they wouldn't have the guy

on if he says Kerry. Cnn is such a bad joke !

[Atman]

40. It was just equal time for this, earlier this a.m....

43. They have to counter Zogby on TDS. It's not about news. It's about spin.

44. It's The Job Of The 4th Estate To Pre-Determine The Executive Branch

The Founding Fathers wrote it in the Constitution that the 24 hour news programs should do their best to sway voters towards the path of least regulation.
