CNN’s “overwhelming” Obama bias

By Michelle Malkin  •  October 6, 2008 09:10 AM

In case you missed it, Allah’s got the video of CNN’s Soledad O’Brien rigging a post-debate poll result right in front of your eyes.

“Overwhelming,” indeed.

Watch here.

Soledad, of course, is a charter member of the Sisterhood of Protected Female Journalists who has a history of trouble with numbers.

You’ll remember that she spread the lie that Sarah Palin “slashed” teen pregnancy funding…by increasing funding.

Liberal math. Sigh.

    The media is so in the tank for Obambi, they can’t even hide it anymore.

    Look at the merciless attacks on Palin’s performance in the debate, and the SNL parody of same, and the fact that the news shows feel the need to play it as news. Picking on McCain’s age is no different than picking on Obama’s skin color, but which do you see on the late night TV talk shows?

    I wonder how Soledad pried he lips off of Obama’s butt long enough to do the screwy counting in her “poll?”

    I saw Meet the Pres Press with Tom Brokaw. They played part of the SNL segment, & had some integrity to show both of the SNL fools mugging Biden & Palin. However, Brokaw did not show the part where Latifa mercilessly skewered Ifil on her book. Clearly the media has no intention of putting themselves in the spotlight, where their own prejudices can be seen.

    Michelle, to we who are paying attention, this is like saying the sky is blue today. With his youth groups and scapegoating, Obama is using alot of tactics from Hitlers play book. He is don’t this because it works. The bad thing about it for Obama is that unless Obama takes complete control, such tactics always backfire. The bad thing for us is that it takes years to do so. Usualy anyway. With this crisis in the economy, everything may speed up.

    She makes Chris Matthews look fair and balanced.

    That appears to me that she decided to, or was told to, say that line no matter what she saw. I can picture the news director telling before the show..

    “Paint this as a resounding win for Biden no matter what the hands say. You got that? People will not count hands.. they’ll just listen to what you say. So.. are we clear? Overwhelming Biden Debate win. Got it?”

    Does anyone doubt that didn’t happen?

    CNN Fact Check: Is Obama ‘palling around with terrorists’?

    Beginning in 1995, Ayers and Obama worked with the non-profit Chicago Annenberg Challenge on a huge school improvement project. The Annenberg Challenge was for cities to compete for $50 million grants to improve public education. Ayers fought to bring the grant to Chicago, and Obama was recruited onto the board. Also from 1999 through 2001 both were board members on the Woods Fund,

    The Annenberg Challenge and the Woods Fund are two nice little charities which hope to make the world a better place. Now ain’t that sweet? Bringing Social Engineering to a public school near you. Perhaps CNN will check that fact, perhaps not.
    For eight years we called them the Clinton News Network. I guess Communist would do now.

    I lost all respect for CNN as a news organization when I learned that when Saddam was still in power they were slanting their coverage of Iraq in a pro-Saddam direction to keep their Baghdad office from getting closed down.

    And people are surprised by such things by the Communist News Network, why? I recall back in 2005 while I was in Iraq, sitting in our dayroom after returning from a mission. The guys had CNN on the TV to see what else was happening in the world when the reporter said they had a special report coming up. The topic: EFPs (explosively formed penetrators). At the time, to my knowledge, the components and manufacturing techniques of EFPs was still classified, but here was CNN, not only showing how they worked, but also showing how effective they were/weren’t against different vehicles. So here we had an American news organization broadcasting, from the comforts of home, a 5-10 minute segment providing: (1) a how-to for these weapons whose components and design was still classified, and (2) a detailed battle damage assessment of such weapons for the enemy.
    It was at that point that I gave up entirely on the Communist News Network.

    Just a few weeks ago, another one of CNN’s female “journalists”, Suzanne Malveux, interviewed OBummer in front of a live audience.

    You could actually hear the the fawning tremulousness in her voice. It was quite clear (sorry to be so blunt) that she was practically soaking her panties at the thrill of being so physically close to The Messiah.
