CNN

Why do you even report Rush limbaugh's comments?, haven't we had enough of his drug induced rants? He is barely informed, bias and racist. He does not deserve another forum.

The press goes where the action is. Mention Hillary or race and the keyboards go crazy. Look at the comments on this site a measley 14. Most people want juicy stuff. Why do you think the tabloids sell so many mags. Face it, the republicans need Collen Powell, then what would Oprah do?

William, i truly believe in your statement. Ill gotten gain comes with its own price tag and when paid in full unhappness is complete. The Clintons seem to believe that this is just politics and that divorces them from their actions but they have know private and public pain and are shooting for a double scope this time. We will all me watching.

I think this was an economic discussion opportunity?

The majority of US spending is on US services. (We have few products). So if this stimulation package is to work, we all need to go out and get haircuts.

My check, on the other hand, is going in the bank. I'm unpatriotic. I have no debt. I save.

Bush went to the Saudi's to ask for oil. American businessmen went to Davos and asked the Chinese to spend to make up for our economic downturn.

The response from Cheng Siwei..... The Chinese save today's spending for tomorrow, and the American's spend tomorrow's saving today.

The room collapsed into laughter and applause.

Sigh....

It is obvious from these postings viewers are really upset with the way CNN is covering the Presidential candidates. This morning you aired a story where a lady chastized the news media for reporting race and gender issues over the real issues. So I thought,

Maybe a little child level intellect will help the news media understand.

Put economy in
Take the gender out
Put your health care in
Things we all care about
Ask a lot of questions
Let them give their views
That’s how you do the news

Put education in
Take the race right out
Social Security in
Things we all care about
Ask a lot of questions
Let them give their views
That’s how you do the news

Put the war right in
Take the hair cut out
Special interest greed
Things we all care about
Ask a lot of questions
Let them give their views
That’s how you do the news

Get it?

Why is CNN running the campaign advertisement for Obama only?
This is NOT fair.
If the Democrats can't campaign in Florida, doesn't that mean ALL the democrats? What makes Obama "Special"?
Either run ALL of them, or NONE of them.

William: You say that after Obama's win in Iowa, Bill Clinton specifically went after him to discredit him in the black community. I would like to understand what, exactly, Bill Clinton did to discredit Obama in the black community You do realize that no candidate in a political race is ever immune from criticism, don't you? And Obama is no different.

You also say that the Clintons were smart to get the race card included in the debate. Again, I don't understand what you mean: how did they play the race card? Obama is the one who played that when he turned to Edwards, patted him on the arm and told him, "You'll get the white male vote, John." The one who really has been playing the race card for weeks in South Carolina is Michelle Obama. Her speeches are filled with references to race. When Bill Clinton mentions that his wife may get more votes from women voters and Obama may get more from African-American voters, the media and Obama supporters jump all over him as if he has taken a cheap shot at Obama. Please, if any candidate criticizes another on their political record, lack of experience, etc., that is fair game and expected in political debates and campaigns. (That is why so many are saying to Obama, "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen.")

I believe Obama's firm footing in South Carolina has been eroded recently because he has campaigne exclusively to the 50% of African-American voters there and virtually ignored the other 50% of the voters. By doing so, Obama may have caused himself the huge South Carolina vote he had counted on.

William.

I guess you failed to mention that Obama actually started all this.

He gave the GRANDEST INSULT to every other candidate.

He suggested that the were all 'status quo' and HE IS THE GREAT UNITER.

So the clintons have been bashing him down bit by bit, showing the public what a scam it was in the first place.

By the way. Congratulations the the administration on the bi partisanship on this stimulus package. I guess washington isnt 'broken' after all.

No need for a self professed GURU to come in and magically change it all.

Billary Clinton....... That sums it up.

to MISSY If Cnn gave bad press to the Clintons The coverage would have to go on for days with all the scandels they are involved in Obama had one questionable deal, the Clintons already brought that ONE up. no one wants to touch the Clintons scandels

I simply believe that White people are starting to become a bit racial in their views, remarks, and voting. The clintons where very smart in how the got the race card to be included in the debate, which ini effect marginialized Barack. After he won Iowa Clintons went on the attack, and bill started trying to specifically go after discrediting Barack in the Black Communicty. This is landmark, huge and simply unethical. The ex president, getting involved, or even the spouse getting involved in a smear campaign vs another senatr of the same party, to specificallly get the black vote split, and keep this in mind...once Cnn, MSNBC, the moderators for the debates ,, once the notion of the fact that Blacks may feel compelled to vote for Barack because he is black, (which is not the case for most blacks, we didnt vote for Jessie when he ran), once the nation is continously bombarded with report after report of the Black Vote, WHAT DO YOU THINK WHITE PEOPLE A MAJORITY OF WHITE PEOPLE are going to do? Not vote for Barack, that is for sure, It is natural Human reaction. You have the Blacks being percieved to be racist about their vote which by the way is about 15 % of the population that votes nationwide,, but what happens to the 65 % of voters, including women it is even higher that are appalled that Blacks are voting for their man because he is black..they vote White.

Smart move by the clintons, if you dont think the Clintons are behind this, then you better research where the black vote came. You dont see Barack discussing Gender do you?

The right-wing may be correct, the Clinton's will do anything to win. I have voted democratic for 40 years, but if my choice in the fall is Clinton and a moderate Republican, I will vote Republican. Their behavior has been despicable.

Just checked the latest polls and Clinton is well ahead in the states that matter – New York, New Jersey, Texas, Pennsylvania and California.

Obama is leading in only two others – South Carolina and Georgia (narrowly) – looks like he may winning the battle but losing the war.

As far as the "stimulus package" goes, I have two words "Buy American" and if you can't use the money for that, save it! Otherwise, the only economy stimulated by this agreement will be China's, and since the money is coming from them, don't send it back there.
I have been making an effort to not buy from China, and it's hard, but possible. To grow jobs in this country again, we have to start making things in this country, and supporting those who do.
I also have a problem with the government suddenly having this money to send us, when our debt is in the trillions, and we can't pay for the war now. Debt to pay debt. Great. Isn't that why we're in this mess, because Americans are so in debt to the credit card people and the housing loan people? Maybe Bush should try leaving office with one positive thing accomplished-a balanced budget for the next President-now that would be an accomplishment for these borrow and spend Republicans.

Let,s not just relax yet about S C for all you obama supporter cause by this time in new england obama was leading hilary by 10 points the election day boom! The result is out oops! What happen to obama 10 point lead so for.those obama surpporters in south carolina don't just glue your eyes on tv watching to see obama win. It might not happen if you don't get up and go and vote on saturday january 26. Tell your friends.,sisters,brothers,get up and go out there and make hilary clinton look stupid.OBAMA 08!

The press goes where the action is. Look at the comments, mention race or Clinton and the keyboards go crazy. The majority of people love juicy stuff. I think some of them are really sick, others are just full of hate. Too bad the republicans don't have Collen Powell in the mix, their comments would heat up. Not to mention throwing Oprah a curve.

This gonna be the tughest presidentail election bid in american history.kill the weak and let the strong survive.that is what thi election is all about,republican and democrat the all facing the same thing at the end of the I can say this but is mine openion and view .barack obama and mitt romney. Will come out and then you will se the toghest presidentail bid in american history.

Obama should bring out shaq as clinton already have magic.you know if you have big gun you better bring it out cause now is the best time.

I don't agree that CNN is giving more coverage to the Obama campaign than the Clinton campaign. Look at it this way. This week alone, we had coverage of the Bill Clinton campaign in South Carolina and the Hillary Clinton campaign in Pennsylvania getting Rendell's endorsement. Remember two for the price of one? That includes press coverage which is exactly part of the Clinton campaign strategy.

I am warming up to Mitt Romney he knows the value of JOBS JOBS JOBS and
that makes a strong safe America with balance.

McCain is too EXTREME

I think a vote for Huckabee is a vote for McCain who will give his ballots to McCain in the end.

Am I the only woman to make a post here

Senator John Edwards has not been given as much coverage as Hillary Clinton or Barrack Obama right from the beginning. He is the one who has the harshest words for Corporate America and their domination of American Politics. Do Americans really still believe that the Corporations and the wealthiest in America are ready to give up billions in profits and income by just being sweet with them? How naive that is.

Is it any surprise that CNN serves its real masters, the corporate / neo-con / zionist alliance?

Bomb Bomb Bomb Iran and Pakistan as well as Iraq!
It's good for Military-Industrial-Financial complex, and
the loots just may trickle down to you at the bottom of the barrel, someday somehow!

Believe in Miracles of good coming out of evil!

The media is trying to sway your opinion by excluding equal coverage of all candidates.

Do you think they should dictate who you vote for?

If not, you had better let them know.

No it is not because Ron Paul is "out of it". It is because they are afraid of his support. People are noticing him and believing his message.

If he were so radical and outrageous then why not let him have coverage and watch him sink?

Ron Paul message rings loud and clear. People are waking up and are voting for him.

FREEDOM
LIBERTY
CONSITITUTION
NO MORE FORIEGN INTERVENTION
DOLLAR=GOLD

This is what the people want. Wake up because if you dont, one day you will wake up and these things will be gone and it will be too late.

what i beieliev hilary clinton has better expirence than borak and she has a power and ability to change the economy ,health care and other issues,but borak has different ideology of change and i believe he is capable of changing not only america ,the whole world . every corner of the world are waching this election,if he is elected ,every countries in the world are they gone change their ideology towards america.

Ron Paul is DONE! I wish these maniacs supporting him would ease back by now!!

Ruth.Doing the RIGHT thing is no longer an option.The Media no longer provides the TRUTH.Double Speak is the standard now.

I too, feel that the candidates are not getting equal coverage......I was home this morning watching CNN and was surprise to see the only advertisement for president aired was Baraks. CNN should be a shamed for giving him so much coverage. SO I SAY TO CNN SHAME, SHAME ON YOU FOR BEING SO PARTIAL TO BARAK.

I am a republican but I will vote democratic if Hillary gets the nomination. If she does not I will be forced to vote republican again. I know the country needs a change and I think it is time for the deomocratic party to take over the white house but I want someone in that office more experience then Barak.

Because Ron Paul is out of it! Wake up!

I would suggest the same thing as Ruth did...Do the right thing & give each candidate equal coverage...too many good candidates have had to drop out due to the great amount of coverage given to those who believe that the presidency is up for auction...Big money, big ads, a lot of coverage..Thank God John Edwards is still in the race & behaving more like a statesman than the 2 squabbling front runners..
I will vote for John Edwards, but I believe some of the best Republican candidates were pushed out of the race much too early due to under exposure by the media as they had too little cash for large TV commercials.

Why is CNN giving more coverage to Rudy Guiliani who is behind Dr. Ron Paul?
Why are you blantantly leaving out Dr. Ron Pauls campaign? Do you think that your viewers are stupid and will not notice you are bias and unfair?
If you do, you are sadly mistaken. We have your number and we are aware that you are trying to sway this presidential election by excluding Dr. Paul.

Do the right thing and give each candidate equal coverage.

CNN should quit playing favorites and give all the candidates fair media instead of being bias and giving Barak such good press.

It is extremely disturbing that CNN seems to find it a greater priority to allocate Ticker space about John Edward's hair being mussed by David Letterman, than it does to post that the Bush regime willfully employed lies 935 to take this nation into a war of choice for empire and profit. I am sure that Huntley/Brinkley are spinning in their graves to see how genuine NEWS reporting has become infotainment empowered by and in servitude to the corporate powerholders that have hijacked this country. Shame on you for even calling yourselves "reporters"!
