More Bias From Cnn For Obama (interviews, democratic, president, racist)

[georgia dem]

The report of Obama's pastor and mentors' racist comments is a good example
of how CNN
delivers the news about Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The other day when all was up in arms about Ferraro's comment,that was taken out of context, the media went wild.
CNN had all of their panels out to dissect every word.
But last night on Anderson 360, he was apologetic that they "would have to air"
this.Cooper even went so far to say "it might have come fro the Clinton camp", but it came from Fox News, and sadly, Copper had to be told this.
Poor Obama, he is so mistreated and really he can not possibly be held into account
for this. Let's forget the fact that Obama has attended this church and the Rev Wright
rants for 20 years.
That Rev Wright is Obama's moral compass!
I for one am sick of the way CNN and "the worst political team" show bias repeatedly.
No wonder they love Obama, they expect us to listen to them and don't ask questions.
They are just alike!

You're jumping to a few conclusions. First off, in my opinion, CNN has been decidedly pro Clinton. Secondly, Rev Wright has been retired since February. Thirdly, if you don't like CNN or MSNBC, may I suggest Faux News, seemingly they would be much more in keeping with your political persuasion.

Well, I have largely been supportive of the news reporting, and tend to defend the large news organizations. However, I would have to state that CNN doesn't seem very objective in their reporting of the Democratic primary to me. I agree with those who state they have shown a significant slant towards Obama.

That is a really big concession on my part, I am have been VERY hesitant to question large media objectivity (except Fox).

But to me, this is now pretty obvious.

it does not matter when Rev. Wright retired, that does not change his
bigotry and the fact that he is Obama's "spiritual advisor"

My oppinion, the media shows favor toward Obama... and doesnt mind jumping on Hillary Clinton case as they would with Barack Obama. Although I assume they have the right to express their feelings.... I think late this week they havent been showing that much of favor towards who... maybe one of them read my post.

They are both fake obama and clinton that is, but yet people seem to want to believe that these 2 people can save the world when in the end neither one of them has done anything to qualify to be the president. I do not think saying a good speech means someone is ready to be the president at the same time just because your husband was the president does not mean you can be on also!!!

The media bias, to me, is clearly toward conflict and continuing the race. When Obama was down, they pumped him up a bit. When Hillary fell behind, the put a little more heat on Obama. They are getting great ratings from this, both in debates and their silly various talk shows. They also fuel the fire on all these non-issues like a comment by so-and-so and a loose connection between people, etc.

It's about ratings and continued coverage as much as it is about favoring one person over another. The trend will no doubt continue into the general election. I think the media is a big reason why the last few elections have been so close - they are usually helping the underdog and feel obligated to treat the candidates with kid gloves so they can get invited to the big dinners and get the big interviews.

Yeah. What little I saw, Anderson Cooper really pussed around the issue. Almost sounded sad, or apologetic.
