You gotta love the CNN bias for Clinton

[skipos]

For their current map of Wyoming, anytime there is a 50/50 tie, they color it in for Hillary. Anything to make this appear to be a "horse race" even though it isn't.

1. They've already bought into Clinton's "PA is the new Ohio" theme

So why wouldn't they be biased about Wyoming?

[jefferson_dem]

12. Right. It's so blatant. WY and MS don't count because he's supposed to win.

PA really matters...even though she's been far ahead since they started polling there.

[TwilightGardener]

14. If she's supposed to win, it's important. If he's supposed to win, it's dismissed--

it's on to the NEXT state that Hillary should win!

2. If you don't like it

turn to Obama's MSNBC

[stop the bleeding]

5. !

:beer::rofl:

I support O but that was funny

[blm]

3. House of Saud/Kingdom Holdings who control CNN only trust Bushes and Clintons to handle

the world's affairs to suit their privilege and needs.

13. link?

Thanks in advance.

19. Heh - Common knowledge I expected most at DU knew by now. Here's a link...

The pro-Saudi bent the network took by 2002 was pretty obvious. Remember all the commercials praising Saudi Arabia?

Saudi Prince buys AOL and Priceline stakes

Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed has bought more than $1 billion worth of shares in Citigroup, AOL Time Warner and Priceline.com over the past six months, his company said on Monday.

The prince, among the world's wealthiest men, bought $500 million in Citigroup, $450 million in AOL Time Warner and $100 million in Priceline.com. With around $10 billion in Citigroup, Alwaleed was already the biggest shareholder in the bank.

"At about $43, Citi's share price was at too attractive a price," the prince said in a statement issued by his company Kingdom Holdings. The prince also found AOL Time Warner price attractive at $23 a share.

"I believe in the power of the AOL brand and I am already a shareholder in this global media giant. Therefore when the price reached a lucrative level, we decided to increase our stake," the prince said, without giving exact figures on his AOL holdings.

His holdings in Internet commerce company Priceline.com currently stand at 5.4 percent, he added.

Alwaleed, a nephew of Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, has a personal fortune estimated at $20 billion, the bulk of which is invested in the United States.

21. How much of CNN do the Saudi's own?

[blm]

23. Not sure, but the heavy proSaudi bias started in 2002 after another huge buy into AOL

which also controls TimeWarner/CNN.

from the article linked above...

24. It's very sad, sometimes I feel the US is become a puppet on foreign strings

all for the benefit of the rich alone.

[jenmito]

28. During the Dubai ports deal, Blitzer went to Dubai to show how beautiful the place is, and how

"friendly" the people are there.

[blm]

31. Bill Clinton advocated for that deal for Dubai royals who have been EXCEEDINGLY generous to Clintons

since Bill kindly deep-sixed all those BCCI matters involving their bank for them and for his longtime political benefactor Jackson Stephens and GHWBush, Bin Ladens, AQ Khan and Marc Rich.....

and a host of other powerful elite protected throughout the 90s. Hillary was being set up to continue that protection into the next decade. Too bad more of us have caught on to the Bush-Clinton-Bush act, and refuse to buy it.

[writes3000]

4. I also notice that their superdelegate count

has Hillary ahead by 40 when I've seen the gap closer in other places.

[ihelpu2see]

9. Yup, it seems that since CNN did not break the story about the added Obama

Super Delegates they just don't add them... Obama has over 199 supers but CNN has him at 199 and holding??

[truedelphi]

11. CNN thought that George the Elder had Bill Clinton beat

They now embrace the Clintons.

Why shouldn't they - the Clintons embrace George the Elder!!

[anigbrowl]

25. You think that's bad

try going to their election center website, pulling down the 'state' menu, and clicking on Mississippi. According to CNN, it doesn't exist. They don't have a page for Mississippi at all, even if you edit the URL directly.

[ihelpu2see]

33. To top it off, was watching Mr. Sanchez's coverage tonight on CNN and it was

the Bash Obama night. A Journalist from "Pink" the magazine ?? a Hillary supporter, A Mr. Hu a McCain supporter and some other guy that i have never herd of and even though Obama had just won the caucus 61 to 38 !!!! They would constantly Bash Obama and mention something positive about either Hillary or McCain???

[IndianaGreen]

22. CNN also shows Florida and Michigan as having been "won" by Hillary

even though no delegates were awarded.

[ihavenobias]

6. To be fair

(Keep in mind I'm very much for Obama, and in light of recent disgusting statements re: Ken Starr and John McCain, even more not for Hillary)

To be fair I think they are showing ratings bias, not specifically Hillary bias, although in this case it benefits Hillary. In other words they want the horse-race to continue to keep ratings up, etc.

[AX10]

7. You gotta "love" MSNBC's militant bias for Obama.

[goldcanyonaz]

8. Why not just watch MSNBC, the official Obama Network.

[rodeodance]

10. Bingo

[emilyg]

15. !!!!!

[IndianaGreen]

16. CNN's owner, Time-Warner was one of the beneficiaries of Clinton's 1996 Telecom Act

which accelerated media consolidation.

[BzaDem]

17. My guess is that they color in the statewide loser for 50/50 ties. Though I could be wrong.

[Bread and Circus]

18. CNN is so fucking utterly biased for Hillary it's beyond the pale.

[SoCalDem]

20. Who are the clowns who bother to go to a caucus and then vote

"uncommitted" :rofl:

That's like driving to a restaurant and just looking at the buffet & watching other people eat:)

[Life Long Dem]

26. Yeah, even though the gap goes up and down, they prefer to refer to this as Hillary closing the gap.

The bullshit they come up with.

[jenmito]

27. I saw Jessica Yellin "pointing that out." He's winning 58-41. And then she said,

"Keep in mind, only 57% of the vote is in," implying she will "close the gap" even further. And NOW they're "explaining" why Obama does so well in caucuses, justifying Hillary's losses. :eyes:

ETA: She just said even though he's still leading "as expected," the largest caucus has yet to vote and they're just getting started so we don't know what the results will be.

[K Gardner]

29. Yup.. and this is exactly what Hillary said in her rally yesterday, the video of which they

have played twice today that I've seen.

[jenmito]

30. Yup. The "Ballot Bowl" should be called the "Hillary Bowl."

Shameless.

[rodeodance]

32. for the most part BO is down from his 66% high--as % increases. So. they are correct.
