CNN Debate Coverage
« on: October 09, 2004, 03:06:21 AM »
CNN wouldn't happen to be biased towards the Dem's would it?

Couldn't help but laugh while watching their coverage of the Debate, when ever they had one of their guys talking or panning around the room all you could see is a mass of Kerry/Edwards signs and the odd Bush Cheney.

Plus watching the students try and and get "their" sign in front of the other was more interesting to watch then the comments at times. Was waiting for someone to get donked on the head but didn't happen on camera.

I'm sure all the stations are the same but took me as being particully tacky.

No, there is no bias in the media, except on Fox and talk radio.

They were broadcasting from a college campus. Most news outlets had the same demographic in the background. College kids tend to be liberal... then they develop brain damage over the years becoming republicans just before the onset of alzheimers.

Click the "who won the debate" button on their website to see who watches the Communist News Network.

Here, I'll save you the trouble:

They all have bias. All of them.
Fox leans more to the right the rest tend to lean more to the left. with the exeption of CNN wich leans so far left it looks at the world sideways

no they start as being liberal, then as they grow older and have children the cold splash of water in the face called reality hits them.
then they either run all the way to the right or some more level headed folk fall somwhere near the middle.

Iron, a lot of the news sites had polls like that.  Me thinks the  democrat email network got the "vote" out on those polls last night.  The fox poll was even more screwed up last night.

it SHOULD be common knowledge that there is no such thing as "nonbiased".   Everything is biased.

2nd that - they know how to wack the online polls -wonder if they figured out how to do the same with online voting and absentee votes as well

though fox is usually right leaning, I have found them middle to middle left during the final month of this election which skews the balance between them and the other totally left news orgs

Forgot to mention the loss of a sense of humor so commonly accompanies the brain damage.

No sweat anon. While I am a pinko liberal I am also a 'tear up during the National Anthem' patriot who is very thankful that there are people like you at the pointy edge of the sword. I may disagree with the President, but I am dam proud of our armed forces.. go figure huh?
