Harmless Headlines or Cashing in on Obama?
Media bistro-TVNewser ^ | 1/30/09 | TVNewser

"Now CNN.com is getting in the Inauguration memorabilia game, with an entire section of CNN.com headline t-shirts about the event. The tagline: "Some of the most historic shirts money can buy."


TOPICS: News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: propaganda
THis is a story posted on TVNewser, with a link to WebNewser but is shows the t-shirt CNN is selling. Not sure I posted this properly and if not, I will assume that administrator will correct it, or tell me I need to.

Bottom line is this story needs to get maximum visibility.

CNN is selling Obama t-shirts while claiming it is a "news" organization.

Wow, we elected a socialist whose skin happens to be darker than a brown paper bag!

Historic indeed!

That’s what American Idol is all about, cashing in! That’s what Victimhood mentality is all about, gettin paid!

That’s what the Obama culture is all about...

A whole lotta’ people need to email CNN and ask them to prove how they aren’t biased or up BO’s butt about this when they did nothing like this when W was elected (twice!).

Obama is CNN’s messiah.

The t-shirt is an embarrasment to CNN.

I sent them an email asking them to justify this ludicrous venture, but I don’t expect to hear anything back from them.

PS: Where was there Bush t-shirt or where is their Palin t-shirt, for that matter.

CNN in the tank, big time.

I sent the story to Drudge, and he has it posted up now also, but he didn’t headline it, as I was hoping he would.

This type of propaganda should destroy CNN, at least I would hope it would.
