Huh? CBS News Complains That Less Than A Million People Showed Up?
Edited on Thu Jul-24-08 01:41 PM by Median Democrat
Liberal bias my ass. Obama draws 200,000 people in a foreign country to a speech such that there is not even room for more people, and CBS writes the following:

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/07/24/politics/main4289066.shtml

"Despite talk in the German media that Obama's speech would draw a crowd of up to one million, it was more like tens of thousands - a massive crowd, regardless - that came to hear the presumptive Democratic nominee, reports CBS News' Maria Gavrilovic. A local band warmed the crowd up for over an hour before the much anticipated speech."

I knew that would have happen..they're so fucking predictable..
their glass is always 1\2 empty when it comes to the People's representatives and 1/2 full when it comes to corporate stooges like mccain.

Look at what katie couric did for mccain.

2. How many showed up to have lunch with McLame at the same time
in Columbus, Ohio?

They don't even give those numbers because they are embarrassing.

11. If this had been McCain's speech they would have said
"Mr. McCain surprised everyone present by remembering not to drool on himself or grin at inappropriate times. All in all a wonderful presentation. And more than ten people showed up!"

12. They're upset that a full third of the city's population didn't go?
I don't think that Obama could draw a million people here in the USA. Good grief.

13. I didn't see any room for any more people than were already there.
Plus there were SO many perched on lamp posts and anything else they could climb up on. I don't know how the ones that were there could hear everything he said. They must have had speakers up a looonnnggg way from where Obama was.

18. Hard to believe they would fight for the bottom with FUX
When what new viewers there are are going to KO and MSNBC, CBS thinks they can out-neocon FUX and win that crowd? One must wonder why.
How about a match 2 falls out of three between Sumner and Rupie?

21. the msm is showing itself as out of touch with ordinary people
they are nailing their own coffin shut.

when the Democrats win Congress resoundly, they can put demands on the news organizations for them to keep their licenses.

we have the power now - regardless of the presidency - which will likely go our way in any case. as a great man is now saying 'Yes We Can"!
