Looks like CNN is now in McCain/Palin 24/7 campaign coverage from now until the election. I have |

noticed this trend on both CNN and MSNBC for the last couple of weeks now. They cover three minuted of Obama/Biden, and then push 30 to 40 minutes of McCain/Palin down our throats.
It is blatantly obvious of what they are doing. Have their corporate masters spoken. If they have, I am sure it goes something like this.
Well, you have had your fun, now let's go win this for McCain. Time to turn off the news.
Edit for spelling

1. Is it even legal for them to show one party's entire speech & not give |
|
fair air time to the other party?

3. Sure it is. Look at Fixed news. The msm is doing the same thing here is what they did in the last |
|
election. They would give Kerry a few minutes and then cover Bush for 30. To me anyway, it is obvious msm manipulation of the election. I call it informational PSY OPS.

10. Maybe I am a cynic right about now, but I think their motives are a little darker than that. The |

msm's corporate masters are greedy as hell, and they know that McCain will at to their insane wealth, country be damned.

6. Biden hasn't gotten the coverage since he was named running mate |
|
For some reason. Even though Sarah attacks the media in every speech, they continue to kiss her ass

12. did anyone catch that laughfest known as hannity's america this weekend |
|
it was a two parter on all the "shady characters" that obama has surrounded himself with. clinton all over again! obama et al do a good job of debunking it but it still gets lots of airtime on old faux news.

19. The Conservative News Network strikes again. |
|
I've been noticing the same thing. They don't seem to care about reporting what the voters are saying.. they are only obsessed with their own spin and pusing the repuke agenda.
Obama has NO connection to Ayers, yet CNN has been pushing that there is one.. so why don't they push the Ashley Todd/McCain connection the same way?? Why don't they do some actual REPORTING and investigate all of the shady things McCain has been urging his loyal followers to do??
