Unbiased Headline of the Day; Update: Down the Memory Hole

By Doug Powers  •  June 14, 2011 10:07 AM

**Written by Doug Powers

The Unbiased Headline of the Day is posted just above pictures of Newt Gingrich, Sarah Palin and Marco Rubio, and comes to us courtesy of the cable net that hosted last night’s Republican debate, CNN:

null

Because expressing grave concern for raising the debt ceiling above $14.3 trillion is just crazy talk!

Update: Flush! The “updated” version isn’t really any less biased though.

    Maybe we need to cut John King some slack. Possibly he really was an impartial interviewer without any dogs in the hunt. Maybe he wasn’t trying to make the republican candidates look bad or to cut them off.
    ***
    Maybe he just had a really bad giant guacamole, frijoles, and jalapeno burrito dinner washed down with 2 liters of Carta Blanca Beer!

    Somehow–I’m betting on the first option. That’s how the American Pravda Media stays employed. No burritos or beer needed.

    Sarah Palin or Joe Biden?

    Did he think any of those candidates would choose Joe Biden for anything? King was truly lost on that question. His groupthink is showing.

    He must have been trying to create some Palin controversy. After all, they probably giggle about Palin all day at CNN and think everyone else does too. They also think Biden is a genius.

    Those Ivy league schools are turning out some real morons nowadays. Moron quadrupled if you factor in the tuition rates they pay at those elitist colleges for that bad education and indoctrination. The Harvard Madrassa alone graduates many idiots each year that somehow then become Dem politicians.

    John King or arteriosclerosis?

    I have arteriosclerosis, it would still be my 1st pick of those two.

    I will not watch any debate where the moderator is a liberal hack.

    sorry to say, if you saw the 1st one on Fox you’ve probably seen all the debates your going to see this campaign then, unless fox has a Presidential debate between OhNobama and the repukian candidate. Then again the Bull$hiter Barry won’t go on Fox.

    Were there coordinated efforts here?

    To which the GOP should say, “fine, we’ll pass on your offer and debate live on the Internet and other alternate media that reaches more viewers.

    Love to see these debates including all the presidential debates have a moderate moderator, ain’t gonna happen I’m afraid. I did watch the debate on pjtv, no commercials either.

    I think the biggest reason we(conservatives) find ourselves in the position we are in politically speaking is all the LSM are liberal with one moderate fair and balanced(sorta).

    As to the debate…

    CNN has a history of unethical behavior with respect to Republican Debates. Here’s what they did in 2008:

    Here’s my favorite quote from that article:

    “The expectation was 900,” a Democratic official said, and more than 980 tickets were sold.

    Silly you. He hasn’t lost his mojo. It was “better than expected”, therefore Dear Leader is gaining mojo. Wingnut!!

    So, if five hundred people showed up, even though they actually expected more, they could say that they only sold 450 tickets and did better than they thought. Brilliant!!

    Off Topic…Rush is talking about this right now.

    What strikes me about this clip is how dismissive Obama is about the question, plus the laughter. It tells me he is being sarcastic because it is all part of his plan!! Obama and Imelt were laughing at the American people! These supposed “leaders” make me sick!

    The mere thought of vomit makes me sick (I had a hard time handling that with the children and pets) but somehow one big pukefest to get rid of the Usurper is beginning to sound cathartic.

    Question #1: Since all of the major networks have had experience conducting these debates at one time or another or should have been learning from past debates, why was there no visual cue for the candidates available? It seems that would have been self-evident.

    Question #2: With the above stated, did CNN have a subversive motivation for not providing said visual cue?

    The CNN debate in June 2011 was best done now when hardly anyone was watching. The candidates got to practice for the real debates coming up. When I did not find the debate on Fox where I thought it was, I watched a rerun of some show on the Hallmark channel instead. The latter proved to be more entertaining.

    Let’s just play along for a minute and pretend they were telling the truth.

    This Democratic official was expecting 900 people and booked a venue that seats 2.5 times that?

    This Democratic official was too stupid to realize the bad optics that would create?

    So, they are either stupid, or they are lying.

    I vote for “they are lying.”

    JRD says:

    Duh, Miami is Jewish. Dumb-Ø lied to them about Israel. Newsflash: the Jews elected Allen West. His campaign manager was Jewish.

    The committee to re-elect already knows that Dumb-Ø will not get Florida’s 29 electoral votes. That’s why they are saying they are going to campaign in Georgia and other states that Dumb-Ø didn’t win last time.

    Oh, and Mittwit doesn’t win Florida either because Dumb-Øcare = Romneycare.

    The DNC is already running Mediscare commercials in the Miami area against Allen West.

    I can see progressive terror from my house.
