CNN pushes Hillary and disses both Obama and Edwards

[BluegrassDem]

I watched the Situation Room and AC 360 and both newscasts started out with Hillary speaking, then they cut to Candy Crowley and she and Wolf/Anderson spent 10 minutes talking about Hillary. Then when Obama came up in the conversation, they only showed a video of him, but it was muted. You didn't hear him speak. And they didn't even mention John Edwards at all, much less show a video. I haven't heard John or Barack speak a word on CNN all day!!!! How biased can a network be?

1. I'm really beginning to think she's cut a deal...n/t

[Just-plain-Kathy]

2. Our corporate own media is setting us up. ..n/t

[avaistheone1]

20. Corporate media keeps proving they can't be trusted.

No wonder most of these corporate media channels keep losing their viewers. The corporate media is dishonest and a bunch of whores. There I said it.

3. Hillary's going to be the nominee in the end regardless of Iowa

In the Feb 5 Democrats-only primaries, Hillary, with strong rank and file Dem backing, will beat the "wine and cheese" Obama set, big time!!!

[Zueda]

8. How many states demand only registered democrats vote in a Democrat primary??

I'm in VA and exclusive party affiliation is not required.

[David Dunham]

11. Most states require registration BEFORE primaries or causcuses

[Zueda]

18. Which ones require party affiliation???

[Clark2008]

29. Voting registration, yes, but few (if any) Southern states require

one to be registered with a party. A registered voter simply has to declare in which primary they plan to vote when they show up to place their ballot.

14. Oh, goody! Hill's Shills are back to the 2004 anti-Dean rhetoric...!

In other words, the Atwater-Rove strategy of dismissing someone who isn't business-as-usual as "elitist," "wine-and-cheese," etc. :puke:

Funny thing about those kinds of strategies...Democrats who use them to defeat other Democrats in the primaries usually wind up becoming the victim of Republicans using the exact same tactics in November.

(And, by the way, isn't there something deeply ironic about supporters of a wealthy Caucasian Wellesley-educated lawyer -- with heavy backing from corporate "big money" -- deriding backers of an African-American progressive from Chicago as "the 'wine and cheese' set?" :crazy: )

[Beacool]

23. Hear, hear!!!!

I totally agree!! I think that when the dust settles, Hillary will be our nominee.

Go Hillary!!!!!!!!

4. i don't know, right now they're saying 'ohhh, if she finishes 3rd, she's done'...

'even 2nd, then she's in trouble'. that's not helpful. :D.

[Just-plain-Kathy]

27. That kind of help gets her corporate backers to throw her more $$$..

..which in turn makes our corproate media richer.

That kind of help gets her supporters out of thier cozy warm homes and into the voting booths.

5. How much more proof do you need? HRC is the Corporate choice to cover up the crimes

of the BCF just as Bill covered up for GHWB. If Hill gets the nod have no doubt we will have no more talk of or action on uncovering the frauds and felonies of the last 7 years. We can also expect her to ensure no meaningful progress on the Progressive Populist reforms we so desperately need.
Rupert Murdock gave her a fund raiser for gawds sake.

[annie1]

6. then why are they saying that if she comes in 2nd or 3rd she's all but done...

when they know full well she's going to come in 2nd or 3rd. If the wanted her to win, they wouldn't do that.

[Vincardog]

9. They want it to be a horse race so you tune in to their BS reporting.

Did you read the OP? They have been pushing the HRC candidacy for the last 18 months.

[gorekerrydreamticket]

19. Agree....It doesn't get critical for HRC until Super Tuesday and after...n/m

[BluegrassDem]

10. Hillary was allowed to give her stump speech at the top of the news

And neither Obama or Edwards spoke a word on the entire newscast!!!! That's the height of bias news coverage. How can you spin that one away?

[annie1]

12. i guess not. but isn't it sort of like Paris Hilton? It's not news, but they know it ...

sells.

[still_one]

7. CNN, and for that matter the MSM have made themseleves irrelevent

It was the MSM who told us Howard Dean was "crazy"
It was the MSM who propagated the swift puke lies
It was the MSM who told us Saddam had WMDs
It was the MSM who told us there is no inflation. Hmmmm, food and energy excluded
It was the MSM who helped out a covert CIA agent
It was the MSM, and CNN specifically who tried to discredit Michael Moore's Sickco

I could go on, but I think their record speaks for itself

[annie1]

13. true.

[rufus dog]

16. although I try to keep my tin foil hat off

The M. Moore segment pushed me over the edge. A ten minute Gupta segment prior to Moore being allowed to talk. Then CNN portrayed him as a lefty nut job and disregarded the facts.

[still_one]

22. That sure showed where their money comes from

An interesting side-note, I guess the next repuke debate is on faux, and they won't allow ron paul to participate. I am not a ron paul fan, but he received a substaintial amount of money compared to the other republicans, and faux is obviously allowing who THEY want as repuke candidates, not necessarily what the regular idiot republican wants. Maybe that will piss off those republicans against faux?

15. While it is exciting to think about Iowa---Very few people

who won Ia Caucuses went on to get the nomination.

Sure I would love to see Edwards win Ia, but deep in the
recesses of my mind. Nov 08 will have H. Clinton VS J McCain.

[Infinite Hope]

17. I stopped watching CNN. I watch MSNBC. It's far from perfect, but it beats Fox and CNN hands-down.

They have panel discussions rather than anchored and biased shows. You get more out of the network because of that fact alone. Hopefully one day a new cable news network will take hold which conducts thorough and unbiased journalism.

[BenDavid]

21. oh hush up now! I finally figured out why obama and edwards

supporters HATE HILLARY.....MY ANSWER IS SIMPLE.....HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON WANTS TO WIN!:kick:

AND HOW REFRESHING IS THAT COMPARED TO 2000 AND 2004....

Shalom,
Ben David

[Cameron27]

24. Oh boo hoo,

if CNN gave more minutes to Clinton, it doesn't come close to the Obamathon MSNBC has running.

[Beacool]

25. Yeah, particularly from that idiot Tweety!!!

He's positively orgasmic every time he talks about Obama. The guy makes me wan to to puke with his constant men crushes.

Damn misogynist pig!!!!!!!!

[Alamom]

26. "It doesn't come close to the Obamathon MSNBC has running. "

Thank you...seasonedblue.

[Perry Logan]

28. Gee, that must be tough.
