You seemed to question “why cnn” and there is one reason.
I have never been in an airport where the TV’s are not tuned to cnn.
So during the debate, thousands of TVs in airports will be tuned into the debate and the people will watch it just because it is on.
Plus cnn seems to be the cable news channel of choice of most hotels, so many will see it there too.
It's possible that Obama may have been a player in the choice.
Not choosing cnn, but nixing it being on Fox Cable News.
If you followed previous TPX tours, you would have noticed that they got a lot of coverage from Fox News, even with Griff Jenkins being embedded with the TPX on one of the tours.
The chatter is that this twisted up Obama’s panties and he had a “beer summit” with the Fox people, complaining that they should only cover the TPX when it is actually hard news.
Seems only fair being as cnn, msnbc, abc, nbc, cbs etc etc are branches of the dnc. Can't have a news station being in the tank for the tea party, now can we? Double standard and typical of leftists.?
So we may have Obama to thanks for the cnn choice. Bear in mind my statements are somewhat speculative, but probably pretty accurate.
Personally I think cnn is a better venue than Fox, being pretty much the generic cable news channel that it is.
It will get a better cross section of viewers than Fox imo.
Plus can you imagine Hannity or O’Reilly or Combes or Gretta being the host from the news channel side?
Scary, ain't it?
LOL
Thanks for the info, I’ve marked the date on my calendar as “must see TV!”
