1. They've seen too much of the Obama they're unfamiliar with.
I think there's some disconnect between the official cable news narratives and reality.

3. C'mon! This is CNN. The same "news network" that gave us the bogus nuclear plants photos...
A story posted Saturday to CNN's website suggesting that North Korea is rallying behind their leader Kim Jong Il in his latest nuclear saber-rattling makes use of a satellite photo described in the caption as "An aerial photo of North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear plant outside of Pyongyang".

The photo is the third in a "slide show" at this CNN page. Hit 'Next' two times in the "slide show" and the following photo with caption will appear:


Oddly enough, last Wednesday the CNN website ran a story on nuclear weapons in Iran with an image captioned "Satellite image of a suspected Iranian nuclear-related facility".

That CNN page is here. The photo from that story is below:


Look familiar? Look very closely at both pictures if it doesn't.

CNN is such a shoddy outfit when it comes to news reporting. Whatever it says should be suspect...

I'm a news junkie, but CNN is fast becoming a don't bother channel.

6. I would agree with that....
I do think the media has focused on Obama's nose hair and McCain has had gaffe after gaffe relatively without documentation....

9. We should've picked someone with less charisma and popularity.
Mercer would've been perfect, but did anybody listen?
