It's like it's the ONLY news happening on the entire planet. Anyone else noticing this?
They are spending 3 minutes of every 15 on this, and have been, all morning.
CBS Evening News devoted a FULL EIGHT MINUTES to this last night.
Yup. But they're on their way out. They're just too relevant this election year but not as powerful as the last.
Akin needs to get and wear one of those neck braces like Kennedy did after Chappaquiddick.
I heard on the radio this morning that Dems had been donating millions to his campaign and that the deadline for him to drop out is close of business today.
Ask George Allen, Macaca lives!
Well, they certainly didn’t cover the Chick-Fil-A revolution like this. Maybe this crazed coverage will convince the clueless candidate that he is a loser.
A monkey wrench thown into our bid to win the US Senate. This is no longer a state issue.
Better to focus on the House and White House.
Akin could put his country ahead of his own ego and stop the bleeding, but he`s convinced his candidacy is “providential.”
So while he sits there in hiding, convinced God wants him to stay in the race, the ripples of his gaffe continue to grow wider.
didn’t Obama walk on water there?
Except that no one watches CNN.
“Dumb sluts” are media’s most profitable advertising demographic (and the Dems’ largest voting bloc) and this story is perfect for them.
However, like the Fluke tempest, it requires too much spin and repetition to maintain it.
They’re losing advertising dollars with this already.
Problem is it's The News on conservative channels too. From Mark Levin to Sean Hannity.
We need all three, or Obamacare becomes permanent. It’s all or nothing time.
Yep.
Unless they take a fax he is purposely hiding so he won’t be forced to resign.
By continuing to appear on TV and radio shows and putting out ads, Akin is keeping the story alive and extending it one more news cycle.
Check out yesterday's archives for Conservative Talk Radio. It's not just CNN. The Republican Party has threatened to stop funding his campaign. This is NOT just a MSM fabricated story.
Unfair to the candidate? Yes! But politics is not fair. We have a choice to make. Is it going to be another 2 years of Harry Reid or do we get rid of the of the ball and chains. I'm more than willing to just focus on the White House and House campaigns. This is going to be hard enough wihout distractions like we have seen this week so far.
Well then, we in a pickle.
This story is good for at least a month, minimum. Another month for the media to ignore the Kings economy.
You’ve done enough damage already, Akin. GO AWAY!
Anatomy of a Mainstream Media Smear Job
You think they are smearing Akin? You agree with what he said?
