CNN Reporting: It Was Dodd - And Dodd Just Admitted It
Edited on Wed Mar-18-09 10:26 PM by mudesi
He added the loophole for the AIG bonuses.

I'm glad Obama called it out. I don't care that Dodd is a Democrat. He needs to be held accountable.

Edited to say: Dodd just admitted it.

6. They are worst
At least with Fox, you know where they stand. CNN/Time Warner Corp tries to lean on it's Turner past and pass right wing spin to the masses.

11. you know what... I'm Calling Out CNN for Cheerleading the "Free Market"
and helping to promote the corruption that has gotten us to this point. Oh, don't get me wrong... whoever is responsible for this crap does need to be called out. I just want people to see the irony of this corporate media calling people out for the very shit their own executives probably applaud behind closed doors.

It is a meandering thread full of turmoil. Then comes the shocker. :rotf:

22. Something stinks. CNN puts out two different stories less than a half hour apart
Official: Obama aides pushed for bonus loophole

BREAKING: I was responsible for bonus loophole, says Dodd

I don't care who put the friggin loophole in, stop trying to cover for AIG and get the money back.

Dodd said he tried to get that out of the bill, but 0bumble said no.

If the Feds didn't want AIG passing out bonuses they shouldn't have bailed them out.

The smartest thing they have done in years is to almost totally walk away from the thing too.
March 31st is the special election here to replace Gillibrand as our Rep.
Hopefully we can return that seat to the (R) column.

They think that NPR is "center left"...CNN is "centr right" and Fox is of the charts.

Honestly I don`t know where the polls are.
Jim Tedisco is the candidate and the district has always been fairly conservative.
