CNN'S LATEST 'MISTAKE'

by Mark5019 May 15, 2006 10:11PM PDT

This is getting to be a regular thing over at CNN. Last night, CNN went to President Bush for his speech...but wait, it wasn't his speech. The president got a bad cue from the NBC pool cameras. The video they aired was 16 seconds long...just enough to embarrass George W. Bush. CNN called it a mistake. Sure it was. Not one other cable or broadcast news channel aired this false start ... but CNN did. Can you see where this might lead people to one conclusion: somebody at CNN did it on purpose. Of course, they've done stuff like this before...remember the black X over Cheney's face during a speech he gave?

Then again .. it could just be a lack of skill in the control room. Good help is hard to find these days

Sounds like NBC is partly to blame

I wonder why only CNN followed the cue if NBC gave him the go-ahead to start his speech?

For this to be malice, there has to be premeditation and I don't see how there could be. NBC goofed, and then CNN somehow goofed by following the NBC cue. How did the other networks know it was a bad cue?

Interesting.

Perhaps they wanted to embarrass the President by cutting the first 16 seconds out of his address to the nation.

Every network has an objective.

LOL

Maybe Fox News felt they could help the President by "accidentally" not airing the speech at all, then accidentally let the feed through.

Or maybe...

they are a lot more on the ball than CNN. Which, if you watched BOTH as I do, you'd know is the case.

You're partially right

by Josh K May 19, 2006 7:20AM PDT

They do have a lot more balls than CNN does. Mostly for sticking to that "fair and balanced" nonsense.

As I said, IF you watched...

you would know how dismally wrong you are.

I watch it on occasion

by Josh K May 19, 2006 7:45AM PDT

It's interesting viewing. My brother-in-law is an ex-Marine and very Conservative, and says he always watches Fox because ''they tell me what I want to hear.''

At least he doesn't make any bones about it, LOL.

Yeah, if you want to hear the complete story, ALL sides..

by EdH May 19, 2006 7:57AM PDT

not the watered down spoon-feed CNN gives you, they tell you what you want to hear. But if you don't want the complete story you can choose CNN or the (ugh) networks. And you KNOW that CNN's coverage is far from unbiased.

******* liberals, they're as ubiquitous as cockroaches

Too bad not enough of them vote.

There are a million conspiracy theories out there, Mark's, and mine have been two of them.

A third is that news organizations only hire liberals.

We report (a quarter of the news), you decide (based on that quarter).
