CNN
Shocks
Us
With Ron Paul On The
Front
Page For Super Tuesday
Tuesday, February 5th,
2008
Shock and
awe. This will probably not be the last time CNN shocks us, but it's
worth noting that we ended up on their homepage today to look for
something specific, and wound up seeing Congressman Ron Paul's face
staring back at us. After seeing this morning's paper at the grocery
store this morning, and there being only four candidates (Paul not
included) on the front page; and after our expose and boycott of CNN and MSNBC; stumbling on this
was the last thing we expected on Super Tuesday.
We had to take a
screenshot of this, as it feels like some kind of fluke, that Ron Paul is
not only mentioned, and pictured, on CNN, but by himself on the
front page on Super Tuesday morning. We're inclined to think some
bigwig is going to freak out and this is going to get pulled before we can
even publish this article.
Yet this somewhat - somewhat -
softens our anger towards CNN for the unequal coverage they gave
candidates Ron Paul and former Governor Mike Huckabee...although it still
doesn't compensate for the bias against Huckabee.
But then, when
you read the article accompanying the headline, Ron Paul's name
is not even mentioned once. And then we were less
shocked. We have to ask you for your opinion on it. So
take the poll below and let us know where you think we should
stand with our boycott!
