I have been watching CNN tonight and they have shocked me with the huge amount of information they have provided on this Iraqi vote -- their anchors are excited about the election and say so -- it has been amazing to watch. I have learned more this evening about the election then I have in the last week.
Have seen the commercials that encouraged people to vote and found out they eat before voting and why no one showed up early except a few people. They are talking about 60% voter turnout all over the Country and notice now that people are going to the polls in greater numbers. Love watching how the people are all dressed up to vote.
CNN International is doing a very good job (knock on wood) -- hopefully they will stick with fair coverage.
You're right. Just seeing the initials CNN tends to make me retch, but they're doing a good job tonight.
That's an encouraging post. When I watched MSNBC briefly I got that jerk in the helmet who was going on and on about no one showing up. I'm not saying he shouldn't report it, but man, put it in some kind of context for someone like me who doesn't know anything about how folks there vote. I have no idea if Iraqis like to vote early, midday or late.
This is great news PKM. I wish I had cable so I could see more that is happening.
Yes, CNN's doing a great job. Very positive coverage of the election so far. I'm impressed!
