Any body watching Obama and McCain "Revealed" on CNN?
CNN ^ | 9/6/08 | Me

Posted on 09/06/2008 6:24:48 PM PDT by Callahan

CNN is airing pretty extensive profiles of McCain and Obama in "Biography" type format. Biden and Palin up next. Some interesting details on both, but with the usual dose of lib bias. The Keating 5 scandal and the failure of McCain's first marriage got a hard look while the Jeremiah Wright (Voice over: "Wright believed religion could be used to fight racism" lol) controversy was glanced over.

Even handedness would require a discussion of the days when Obama was using cocaine and sleeping in the gutter.

You don’t need to watch CNN to know what they’re going to say. It will be a hit piece on McCain and an extended campaign ad for Obama.

I actually don’t even own a tv. Does anyone know where to watch the actual TV news broadcasts online? I can find CNN.com’s stream, but not CNN TV’s stream. Also, I would love to be able to watch FoxNews during the election cycle.

Thanks to all who could help.

I’m not watching CNN or MSNBC any more. I’ve had quite enough. I actually enjoyed watching the convention uninterrupted on CSPAN and watched the McCain Palin rally in its entirety on live stream today.

I think we know the gist of the CNN report already- McCain killed and ate kittens and B.O. healed sick babies.

Did they go over how Obama hired a lawyer to disqualify his opponents and that was how he obtained his first political office.

Or how his wife law firm recieved earmarks and Michelle went on to recieve a pay raise of over 150%.

Or the special interest financing for his mansion that we all wish that we could recieve?!

You be right on that. I'm watching it now...they brought up all kinds of junk on John and Cindy McCain's past. As for Obama barely a mention of Jeremiah Wright, a scanter mention of Rezko and nothing about Ayers. Its an Obama puff piece. So whats new?

Obama is being shown as a pure out and out politician--he courted the power-brokers in the Dem party with the goal of getting elected--because he wants POWER.

And that is really scary!

I actually don’t even own a tv>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Me too big guy, chucked ours in 2000.

Took it out back, and put 6 x .44 mag slugs thru it.

Made a cool target.

The only regret I have is it wasn't plugged in when I shot it.

All news now radio and Internet.

Did anyone see the picture of Barack Hussein sitting in an office in front of a poster that said.

“It’s a Power thing X”

What’s up with this is it a Malcolm X poster.

Yes, I've been watching. Yes, they asked JM lots of hard questions, and no, they haven't asked BO any. Another reason not to watch.

But, I did - just to prove to myself CNN is not a news station, they are a political cheerleader.

I usually don’t care, but I miss Hannity & Colmes and the like during election season. :(

Oh well, the clips that are posted on here are a pretty good feel of it. I’ll survive. (As long as Palin gets to Washington!) :D

"Wright believed religion could be used to fight racism"?

HUH?

Didn't they go to his church's website?

Their very message is blatantly racist.

Turned it on to hear this woman’s accusative voice discuss Palin’s ‘bridge to nowhere’ (she voted for it before she was against it) and the loss of money on the jet she tried to sell on e-bay. Click!

Yes. This woman traveled to Alaska and found the 2 or 3 people in the state who don’t like her. She didn’t interview any Palin supporters.

Palin piece is a cheap A$$ hit job relying extensively on interviews of Dhim oppenants and DNC inputs.

Why on earth is this Rick dude on CNN reporting Twitter comments on his news program? Really? The opinion of just any schlub with a computer is news?

Don't be silly. They do have standards. It must forward the Marxist agenda.

Marxism and BDR. They had a panel of college kids convinced that tax cuts are bad because they are “Bush policies”. No other reason necessary.

I do not have cable and never will again unless Congress passes that law which will allow me to choose the stations I want to buy. I will not support channels like the Communist News Network with my money.

Rick Sanchez is one of the biggest morons on CNN. Bitterly jealous of Anderson Cooper. He actually hit on my girlfriend in a bar (”Wanna go back to my penthouse apartment and watch my show?” lol). She told him to clean off the pancake makeup and fix his wardrobe before he went after a younger woman.

I thought it was interesting how, despite CNN’s attempt to be upbeat, our message on Obama came through — because it’s true. He is a classic big ego, savior complex, worship-me-little-people Ivy League liberal driven by naked ambition more than anything else. They even pointed out (in the lightest way possible) that his “community organizing” efforts were largely failures. The most damning part I thought was the clip they showed of his debate with Bobby Rush (”What has he done? What has he done?”). They touched on the “present” votes and explained the stuff that he did do in the state senate was the result of a deal with the State Senate President to slap his name on bills. The funny thing is Obama knows full well he is playing the Dems and media for suckers. As far as ideology, I think his wife is the true believer and he is just trying to get ahead.

Good catch--thought the same thing. Piece reminded me instantly of Bill Clinton--despite all his talk about "feeling your pain"--the only thing he really cared about was himself!

Contrast that to McCain/Palin and the line about some men using change to advance their careers, while others use their careers to bring about change.
