CNN Pulls a Fox SNEAKY
Remember how after the Gore/Bush debate, they were swooning how Bush looked so "presidential," and Al Gore looked so "angry?"
And how seriously cable news took the claims of the Swiftboaters. So seriously that they had them on night after night.
I just watched distortive TV propaganda under the guise of a show called "Ballot Bowl"
The first reporter (didn't catch his name) quickly glossed over the scandalous Obama comment by not giving the full quote. All the CNN viewers heard was Obama said PA people were bitter.
Candy Crowly quickly corrected this and hastily went over the full quote. Even this was a little muffled. An elderly person would have had a problem understanding.
When CNN WANTS you to hear something, they speak real . . . slowly . . . and . . . clearly.
Then CNN played the INAUDIBLE, source tape. It could easily have been enhanced in the editing bay. They did not do this, obviously because CNN did not want their viewers to hear it. The text was shown on the screen over the audio, but oldsters, and people with reading or visual problems would not follow.
What was clear as a bell was an audio enhanced tape of Obama's response. The high tones were enhanced so that no one would have trouble hearing it.
Obama spoke seriously, and clearly. He talked on and on. And on. He looked so presidential. Who would believe he'd just called PA voters a bunch of backwater slugs?
Finally, CNN aired HRC commenting. Once again, if a viewer did not quite understand the previous audio clip, he would not understand exactly what she was commenting on.
Especially when the male news reporter began blurring the subject by harping on Bill's Bosnia gaffe.
This Clinton gaffe has nowhere near the serious implications of Obama's comments.
In a moment of honesty, Obama clearly told Americans that he does not understand us.
He has lived in South Side Chicago most of his adult life, and views us from that narrow perspective.
He needs time to expand his horizons, and his range of friends.
How can he lead a country when he feels such disconnect with its people?
To its credit, CNN did air a little of a Bill Clinton speech that allowed him to refute Obama's sick claim that people were no more prosperous under Clinton than under Chimp Bush.
It's a little sad that CNN viewers pay through the nose to get news from a station that is only out to manipulate them for its own purposes.
