CNN Manufactures Drama

Seriously, did you just see what I saw? CNN threw itself on the altar of Barrack Obama and artificially created drama before the polls closed in South Dakota. They had their team “scouring the Super Delegates” and every two or three minutes before 8 pm they announced that he was one delegate closer and posting a huge delegate countdown behind Wolf Blitzer.

There is only one problem . . . .he already had it . Fox News who was also “scouring the super delegates” clearly showed that he had already clinched the nomination.

But how do we know that it was intentional and not just the fact that Fox News has more effective staffers? Because CNN broke away from John McCain’s speech so that as the clock struck 9PM they could announce that Obama had clinched the nomination. Despite the fact that not a single vote or any results had been announced from South Dakota. Clearly they could have announced it before 9pm as it was not the voting delegates that pushed him over but instead the Super Delegates. So why would a respected news organization play to the script written by the candidate?

Hillary’s supportters have been very vocal about their perception that the media was favoring Obama and not providing equal coverage to their events, issues, and speeches.

But could they have been any more blatant then tonight when CNN manufactured the “suspense” as to “what moment” he was going to clinch the nomination. I think not.

AND ONE MORE THING: Why the hell would CNN cut away from John McCain’s speech to make this spectacle of themselves? Is this typical of the respect he is going to be shown in the months ahead. CNN supported Hillary’s campaign enough to not only show the entire speech but to continue to carry the live feed for an additional two minutes showing her hugging supporters and staffers dancing on stage while Tina Turner’s “Simply the Best” provided the not so subtle hint that perhaps they weren’t done. Two minutes of this while John McCain isn’t even given the opportunity to finish his speech.

Disgusting CNN , it’s pretty clear you’ve got your candidate.
