1. That's what corporate propaganda outfits do.
We need to break them off from the mother corporation and force them to sell CNN off on the open market.

6. you know what they just showed?
they went to a mccain rally and outside of the rally they asked mcCAIn supporters why they were supporting mccain and if they believed in the polls? of course, everyone was saying that polls don't matter and that mccain was going to win..
the fucking reporter interviwed plenty of them..

I have NEVER seen CNN or MSNBC for that matter interview an Obama supporter outside of his rally. NEVER.... WE SHOULD DEMAND SAME TREATMENT..

I AM REALLY FURIOUS!!

11. When Obama becomes President,
insist that the Sherman anti-trust laws be reinstated. They were thrown out the window during the Reagan years.

2. They need to manufacture the appearance of a tight race.

Why this is so is up for grabs. From what I read around here a lot of people believe they're more or less in bed with the Republican party/conservative movement. My own belief is that by generating a hype they can potentially increase their viewership, which turns into higher ratings and more money made on future advertising sales. Of course, there is plenty of room for overlap.

3. Wait...lately? CNN has long been complicit with the RW propaganda.
CNN, Fox, etc. Fuck the mainstream media. Just because the RW douchebags call their trough fillers "the liberal media" don't make it so.

5. I think its kinda funny
The MSM that loves McCain, and want him to win at any cost, are covering Palin 24/7 to help him win, and its doing more damage to McCain than anything Obama has done to him because the vast majority of voters cant stand her.

Karma.....

7. I call it Operation Too-Close-To-Call
By the MSM making it look like McCrazed is playing the tortoise to Obama's hare, the pollsters can justify shrinking the gap to within the statistical margin of error--then the stealing can begin! That's what McCain has been talking about, you see--and why Obama's infomercial has such thrown such a monkey wrench into it.
