These are the stories currently on CNN’s political ticker. To me, the story is sort of a non-starter. Obama said that a lot of Pennsylvanians were feeling bitter about broken economic promises and thus were voting more for gun rights and religious expansionism or anti-immigrant sentiment than they were for economic policy because the pro-gun, extra-church, no-Mexicans people were at least trying to keep their promises once they got into office office. He could have worded this more carefully—but it definitely doesn’t deserve this sort of trumpetting.
Is CNN trying to prove that it doesn’t favor Obama by blowing one statement and its reaction grossly out of proportion or is this an all out media assassination attempt like the Dean Scream?
