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.

Sean Hannity has special knee pads for when Lanny Davis appears on his radio show.

He let Mark Levin do the heavy lifting against Davis the other day.

The real root of his problem is that john kerry is . . . john kerry, and that's hard to fix.

LMAO!

I believe it. I've said for months that the Clintonistas will do all they can to help Kerry lose. Hillary does not want to wait until 2012 for her shot. Her facial skin and her name recognition will drop by then.

The simplest answer is - putting lipstick on a pig doesn't work,at some point you have to report some truth.

Sez you.

It's simple really

Billary doesn't want competition in 2008 from a Kerry Presidency.

For that reason alone I feel Kerry will lose this election. He's the token whipping boy sent out to feed the Republican Sharks.

He doesn't stand a chance of a snowflake in hell

This is simply my opinion of course

Media could care less wheter its Kerry or Hiliary as long as it is a democrat that wins

BUT all that said their most impoprtant concern is viewership

$$$$$$ is always the biggest motivator in any realm of human endeavor

It is not CNN's job to present the liberal side of the story. Our taxpayer funded NPR/PBS do that. It's good to see that they are willing to report news even if its bad for democrats.

You must not have been paying attention to those guys for very long. If they are reporting "bad news" then one has to at least suspect some serious factional fighting among the Crat movers and shakers.Remember- it is the Clinton News Network.

Where have they been on Berger and Wilson?

As soon as Bergler and Wilson became inconvenient to the Crats they disappeared from the airwaves.

About time those Stalinistic liberals got a taste of their own medicine. I'm all for it.

I have to admit, I never watch CNN, but was channel surfing and saw them doing a story on Kerry, and lo and behold! they were talking about his "flip flops" and playing sound bite after sound bite.

Then, for balance, they had a friend of Kerry say, "well, this shows he's a deep thinker who can see all sides to an issue."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

There are too many libs on Fox. Are the Fox execs really so nitwitted as to think that their ratings would drop if there were more conservatives and fewer libs on Fox?

Reportedly, MSNBC plans to become more liberal than CNN in an effort to improve their ratings.

I think you're giving 'em a little too much credit, GottaLuv. (GottaLuv your nickname, BTW!) Please consider this:

1) We are going into a weekend with most of this stuff, so come Monday it won't be much of a topic any longer. But they're still "on record" with it, making them just as fair and balanced....(just ask 'em)

2) Lotsa staff on vacation lately, no? I imagine the interns will be getting a good talking-to when the bosses get back from The Vineyard....
