CNN does it again...
I just happened to wake early this morning. I sleep with the television on and some infomercial was on. It was a couple minutes to 6am and so I changed the channel to CNN (don't ask me why!). And, I'll be damned if they didn't show yet another new McCain ad as soon as they began their morning broadcast. This in addition to playing the Biden reaction one all day yesterday. And all for FREE!

Why do I punish myself so?

11. I think so too. But since Deep Impact is more
credible and believable than cable news, it was a shoo-in. =)

3. I expect them, repugs, to try an
come back fighting....that is what campaigns do.....it's like breathing air.

Also, it is money in CNN's pocket, CNN and all MSN are a business, not a news source as their primary product, that's all they are..........so let the pugs spend lots od $$$$, they can not change the outcome in November.

6. I think the OP is referring to CNN playing McCain ads as part of their
"news" broadcast. Since it's part of the broadcast, not a paid commercial, they aren't getting money for it, rather McCain is getting free advertising.

It's really not fair, but then I would expect nothing more from our meida, which is really just propoganda for the right wing, not news. :banghead:

i asked him why he's watching the new propaganda arm
of the thug party.

the fox news yahoos are inadequate to their needs so
they've co-opted CNN too

7. We have Keith, now Rachel & of course, Stewart & Colbert.
They have ABC, CBS, NBC, Faux, CNN.

CNN wasn't exactly stellar before, but the last 2 years they've sunk to new lows.
