CNN Lies About Mark Foley Race (MIles O'Brien)

Love to get up in the morning and tune in to DNN and see them lie, and this morning was no different. They were showing cameras they have around the country and one was in the distric in Florida which Foley represented. MIles O'Brien said that the race was surprising close, and that the people who wanted to vote for the Republican candidate, Negron (whom he did not name), had to write in the candidates (again did not use Negron's name) name. This is a blatant lie, the actual procedure in Florida is to "Punch Foley' to "Vote for Negron'.

The race in Tom DeLay's district is one where the Republican candidate's name has to be written in, but not in Foley's district, and by Miles O'Brien's deception, it could cause a few people to screw up their votes. Either this "news" person does not know the 'news' they purport to cover, or he was lieing on purpose. In either case it is another disgraceful performance on the part of DNN,and another reason why they are becoming increasingly irrevelent in the news business.

If that's true, call up CNN and complain about incorrect reporting. Demand that their ombudsman investigate the bias.

Hard to have anything to say other than ping this to Floridians so they can add one more reason why CNN should move to Maryland or any point further north and get out of the South, whose dignity and common sense CNN increasingly insults.

I think I will send them an e-mail, but the damage is already done to those voters who may be confused this morning. Lots of elderly voters in Florida may be disenfranchised by the hacks at CNN>

Wonder what "Hit & Run" Cafferty will have to say about this?

DNN= Democrat News Network.

I was on a cruise for 15 days in October ... all we had to watch was CNN. From the reporting I saw there I would have thought (had I not known better) that the Dems had already won both houses and Bush was in chains.

What happens if they do write in Negron? Do those count along with the "Punch Foley" votes?

Republicans will hold Foley's Seat. Millions have been poured into that district to inform VOTERS how to vote for Negron. It's a safe seat (listed in the D column by most Pollsters) and so is the DeLay Seat in TX. We will hold both Seats and mess up the expected Blue Wave Takeover!

You see if we really had a strong president this f*^%-up network would have been shut down. The cancers would have been destroyed as they will be in opposite direction when The Hildabeast gets elected.
