CNN - Paula Zahn doing town meeting in Ohio. Zahn/CNN trying to sway the outcome?

Posted on 10/21/2004 5:14:40 PM PDT by TBBT

Paula is hosting here own townhall meeting/debate in Ohio tonight. She has representatives from both the Kerry and Bush camp to answer the audience’s questions. For the Kerry camp it's retired General Wesley Clark, for the Bush camp it's a retired Police commissioner from NY (I didn't get his name).

I smell a rat. It looks like CNN is in Ohio trying to sway that state to the Kerry camp. I bet this guy from Bush's camp is weak in the PR department and will get beat up tonight to Paula's delight...

This is a tough cop who was on Oprah recently and is promoting his book...here's what was said about him:

NYC Police Commissioner Bernard Kerik

At 1:30 a.m. on September 11, Bernard Kerik, the 40th Police Commissioner of New York City, finished a book about his hidden past and the odds he had overcome to become New York's "top cop." He was unaware that just seven hours later, a new, horrifying final chapter would begin.

Now Commissioner Kerik had to face his biggest challenge of all...bringing order to a city under siege.


September 11
Commissioner Kerik took us beyond the barricades to the heart of Ground Zero, described the events of this horrific day and the heroism behind the World Trade Center disaster.


Looking Inward and Finding Truth
He survived shootouts and drug lords, but the toughest battle was within himself. What Commissioner Kerik learned when writing his memoirs—the most tragic investigation of his career.


The Journey to Success
No one thought he would succeed in life, but he came out on top. How Commissioner Kerik rose to lead the largest police force in the world.

Anything CNN does, is going to be a hit piece against Bush.

Still am curious and upset about the Pat Robertson interview she had the other night

Bernie Kerik is the most honorable, truthful speaking person you will ever meet, see or listen to.

I see it the other way, Kerick will wipe Clarke out. I can just hear Clake screaming again for his assistant to "help me" when he gets in over his head.

Ohmygod - these questions are just as "set up" as the ones in the debates! Betcha no one asks about Kerry 180 form or his "honorable discharge"

I watched earlier for a few minutes. One lady stood up and described herself as a registered Republican who hasn't heard enough from President Bush about getting us out of Iraq. Then a man stood up to announce he is to the right of George W. Bush and is a Libertarian and wants us out of Iraq, but if Kerry does it, will it be more dangerous? he queried.

Paula, looking fabulous, shook her head in sympathy over the quandry these two dolts found themselves in and I switched the channel.

Yup definitely a Bush hit piece. Not one question, questioning Kerry's positions or policies. All questions are questioning Bush policies and requiring the Police Commissioner to defend...

This was a comment that Larry King made at the end of his program Tuesday nitght.

KING: Tomorrow night, our special guest is Bob Woodward. Appropriate guest with less than two weeks to go to the election. His book, "Plan of Attack" is now a major bestseller in paperback. And it might have a major effect on this election. A man who will definitely have a major effect on this election is Aaron Brown because people -- when Aaron Brown speaks, people listen.

The two I heard sounded pretty dumb, actually.

But I agree with your point. I don't like to go around calling people "sheeple" and the like.

And Bernie will state the truth in his answers. Not like Clarke who will use the DNC talking points in his answers.

I think considering that fact that Begala and Carville still work for CNN and they have acknowledged that they are working for Kerry campaign, and then you have shows like this in one of THE swing states, I think they should be considered a 527 for Kerry.

Definitely was a hit piece - I watched for a couple of minutes, couldn't stomach it. I don't know how Paula Zahn has managed to stay on the air this long
