What's up with CNN? (3 days of bad press for Kerry)

Posted on 08/01/2004 10:42:35 AM PDT by GottaLuvAkitas1

Is CNN feeling the heat, or have they nothing good to report for the Kerry team?

In the past few days CNN has reported the following

1. The DNC Balloons story. DON MISCHER aka Potty Mouth Balloon Boy

2. The 2 Marines in Wendy's that slam Kerry

3. No positive bounce in Kerry polls since the convention

Either way you look at it Kerry has not been looking good lately if you read CNN.

By FNC you mean Fox? I rarely watch tv.

I can't imagine them hiring Lanny Davis as a commentator, perhaps as comic relief, or keeping the organ grinders monkey close enough to monitor whose pockets get picked.

LOL One can never edit their own work. We will see it every time we read it the way we intended it to be. I am living proof of that fact.

They do actually have to report some news. Where have they been on Berger and Wilson? That's more telling.

You should see Woolfie on live right now it's been a complete rat conference all day, no attempt at all to present our side, a couple of minutes for Mitch McConnell and even less for Mark Racicot--they are making up for any attempt at fair and balanced.

Maybe they don't want egg on their face when Effin & the Breck Girl get smoked in November.

Maybe people are figuring out that nearly every word out of Kerry's mouth is a lie.

Amazing that in 1997 Kerry told Crossfire host that Clinton would show leadership if he dealt with Iraq regardless of whether the UN Security Council approved or not. He also had harsh words for France and Germany.

How things have changed since 1997.

I think they LIKED the larger audience they got during the DNC convention and want to keep some of that audience. They now realize in order to keep people watching, they must present a more "fair and balanced" approach rather than the liberal slant they are known for. They didn't eaxactly gloat over Kerry's acceptance speech. I hope they do keep this up because when I travel, I and am forced to watch these people daily.

When your ratings are down, your income slides. Constantly coming in 2nd place to a competitor can wound a person's & company's pride.

Meanwhile, FOX has made an adjustment too. Their coverage of the Dem convention leaned to the left, rather than sticking with a pure attempt to have balance, as their detractors got so noisy it became impossible to ignore them.

CNN has served their purpose, Get Kerry Nominated! Now that he is the official nominee, they no more want him in the WH than they want to become a conservative news site.

They gave the Dims the weakest nominee since Dukakis, paving the way for that spawn of satan Anti-Christ Hitlery Klintoon in 2008 or 2012.

>>Clinton has Ted Turner's FBI files?

Ted no longer has any day-to-day, or operational control of any of the former media entities he used to own. All he has now is stock in AOL/Time-Warner that is worth a lot less now than it used to be.
