Wow.

CNN.COM might as well be under the umbrella of MichaelMoore.com.

Or at least they ought to admit that they're really more of a liberal commentary organization than a news organization.

I didn't know Bush was running for office this election? Why is this election about Bush? Must be because the dems as usual have no answers, just attack Bush.

I'm not saying they're WRONG.

I'm saying that the tone and wording of the entire article is a COMMENTARY, not a REPORTING OF THE NEWS.

The only way you cannot see that is if you've sucked in so far that you're totally blind.


So... does CNN consider themselves a NEWS organization, or a POLITICAL COMMENTARY organization?

Okay.
What did they say that you think was phrased in a "commentary" way, and how would you change it to be more "news"?

Now, with polls predicting bleak results for Republicans, he is trying to fire up his party by decrying same-sex marriage.
Editorializing. Speculation. Is "same-sex marriage" a last-ditch attempt at votes, or has it been an issue all along.

It's OBVIOUS, FoundIt, why YOU are all defensive about this one...

Quote:
The line earned Bush by far his most sustained applause at a rally of 5,000 people
You can almost see the "eye roll" after the writer penned, "by far"...

Quote:
One alternative, civil unions, is an idea Bush supports. But he ignored that on the way to portraying the New Jersey decision as the kind of thing America should do without.
More editorializing.

Quote:
But the lines, repeated to great enthusiasm at a second rally later Monday in Texas, mark one of the only substantive changes in the president's stump speech as he turns from raising money for Republican candidates to encouraging the GOP faithful to vote November 7.
More editorializing. What the writer is really saying is, "Bush is desperate, and is grasping for anything here..."


The entire commentary/editorial piece is filled with this, and more blatant, commentary and personal slant. If you can't see it, you're blind.
