A Disgusting display of self promotion on CNN right now!
Likely POXnews as well but they are not worth my time. Blitzer just now reporting, "Words from California's next govenor". The 4th estate has lost their collective mind. They are only pandering to the Bush Family Oligarchy and every snake oil/medicine show trick they are spoon-fed by the Nixon-Bush-Cheney Admin ~

1. Arnold has Hijacked my television
He is on every corporate news show all the time. I turned on CNN this morning and a woman anchor said "Don't worry, we will cover every move Arnold makes today." That is a quote. These "news" people should be tried for their crimes.

3. How will he have time to go door to door...
...school to school with his message if he stays on TV all the time?

12. They've likely been told straight up...
...to get off their covering of all of the utter failures & global shenanigans that the Bush 'white house', RNC contributors & Pioneer Club are really pulling ~

4. Agreed
Why not let Larry Flynt or Gary Coleman(another bad actor) or that woman from the billboards make speeches on national T.V.? And why is Schwarzenegger allowed to campaign for Calfornia Governor when he's in New York? New York isn't looking for a new governor. This whole thing appears to be a coup from where I sit in America's heartland. I'm going to try and get through on CNN now so I can gripe.

6. How many puns do you hear on these reports?
Lots that's how many. NBC's The Today Show is even referring to it as "The TOtal Recall".

Yes it is quite obvious that the media is wrapping this up for him unfortuneately for Ahhnold he will likely lose the far right voters as he is pro-choice, pro-gay rights , and was against the Clinton impeachment. He also can't use his immigration to foster a kinship with the Latino and Asian communities because his campaign announced over the weekend that he had voted FOR Prop 187.

I can't wait for the talking heads to have to explain why he didn't win.

9. I can't wait for Arnold to be dragged out onto the tiles...
...while trying to say something other than movie puns regarding serious policy.

My sense is that he has far less to say about California matters than he does about his shame-less self promotion ~

10. A noble effort nonetheless...
Blitzer is another one; loves that 'smack-down' approach to news reporting. Wasn't he just too much fun during the Rove/RNC/Nixon-Bush-Cheney Admin's insatiable chasing of Clinton?

'news' @ 11 ~
