- Last night I saw perhaps the most blatant and insensitive case of media bias
- to date...
-
- On CNN Headline news, they began a story about Bush's mother dying, showed a
- few seconds of Bush, a 2 second clip of the mother (from DEEP in the vaults,
- I'm sure), then about 30 seconds of Willy and Hilly strolling along, basking
- in their newfound Washington glory, with a comment that Willy "had met Bush's
- mother once".... anyone else think that the media is rubbing it in just a BIT
- much? Well, I guess they put enough effort and money into buying the election,
- so now they are going to damn well enjoy it...
-
- That does it. No more CNN. And I don't even LIKE Bush. I just can't believe
- another word those folks broadcast.
