Oh my.
And how many times did Time magazine, which is nothing compared with when Henry R. Luce ran it, feature the Big Zero on its cover this year?
Eleven times hasn't it been, compared with two for McCain?

CNN's doing it again - mcINSANE and Failin on ALL THE ****ING TIME!
I've turned it on - and off quickly - all morning long since 6:45 am until almost 8:00 am now - and they have them on uninterrupted.
No news - no obama or biden - just the REPUKES!
This is so disgusting I'm spitting blood!

2. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is noticing!
They are certainly pulling out all the stops for McCain!

3. Turn it off if it turns you off.
No wonder CNN refused Obama's Wednesday infomercial.

4. cnn is a fraud. They refuse to play Obama's speech tonight, which Obama is paying for the airtime, and that says everything about the cnn agenda
I dunno.
Maybe CNN would rather have an audience, than that money.
Audiences tend to encourage higher revenues in the long run, than a one-time infusion of advertising.

9. CNN has been worse than Fox lately
MSNBC as well, at least in the daytime. Endless McCain/Palin stump speeches with maype an occassional 30 second clip of Obama or Biden.

11. They also have a "new poll" that shows Obama at 50%, McInsane at 42% and "undecideds" at 8%.
How CONVENIENT.
If they don't show the Obama piece that he paid for, they should give the money back.
And they should just go off the air during that time because the majority of people who watch tv news will most likely be tuned into a channel carrying the Obama piece.
Yeah, right. We'll see.

6. Their team is down in the polls and out of money
They must help the "self described underdog" and do their part for the GOP.
I suspect this is what we will see through Tuesday.
CBS snews early morning was doing the same ****ing thing, 5 clips of McCain, 1 of Obama and then 1 of Palin. Where the fair and balanced there?

8. Too funny! When the economy was good, The M$M had little trouble FORMING OPINIONS.
Now that people KNOW that the M$M is consolidated and spewing bunk, they are frustrated and shameless in their support of the GOP.
Damn the M$M! The need to be de-consolidated.

13. By Tuesday McCain may no longer be the underdog!
Obama is looking good right now, but the relentless repetition of Repug talking points and stump speeches in the MSM will is starting to slowly erode his lead. This will only intensify as election day approaches.
We're basically in a race against the clock!
How little does the iceman cometh primitive know.....

Hopefully they'll have that and then Obama's 1/2 hour!Then they'll spend all night talking about that hopefully.
The dim Hoosier primitive obviously doesn't understand "oversaturation."

12. MSNBC is doing it too!
And they keep repeating the "Obama lacks the experience ad".
It pisses me off. It is free advertising.
Oh my.
What's good for the goose apparently isn't good for the gander.

Dear DUmmies, that has a lot to do with your VP candidate studiously avoiding the press, and your Presidential guy trying desperately to avoid saying anything involving the concepts "New" or "Substantive content."
When you are trying to run out the clock, your actions drop drastically in newsworthiness. You've bought so much air time there is hardly anything left to say for the poor MSM schmucks who have been trying to support you, but who are now finding your delay game to be an especially dull form of ratings death.

His MSM saturation has fallen off so badly that he has "purchased" 30 minutes during prime-time tonight for an "infomercial".......
My station was offered the contract, but I refused to approve it......we will get better ratings with the Wednesday movie......being the capitalist that I am, our ratings drive my paycheck (not that I would air it anyway).......

hehe I love reading stuff like that.
This also goes to show just how undisciplined 'O' is with his spending. This guy would be a disaster for our nation.

How's this?
If a picture is worth a thousand words, then the Nov. 3 edition of Time magazine just gave Barack Obama 13,000 words to a few hundred for John McCain. Starting with a corner shot on the cover, Obama is pictured 13 times throughout the magazine.
The only photo of his opponent in this election-eve issue is a goofy thumbnail of McCain under the Gaffes section of the Campaign Scorecard. Sarah Palin is featured exactly once, also, in the letters section under a quote from a reader who compares her to impersonator Tina Fey and says "They are both better entertainers than politicians."
