In regards to my previous post, perhaps I spoke too hastily against CNN. Perhaps I should have restricted my criticism to the CNN political ticker—which, as a political blog, has an excuse to get hung up on trivialities and make mountains out of molehills. Here’s an actual CNN clip, which zetahydrae analyses better than I:
Holy balls. I can’t believe that they aired this on mainstream television; it’s way too sensible and accurate for them.
Wolf Blitzer gets three pundits on the air to discuss the latest political spectacle, Clinton and McCain ganging up on Obama for “belittling” the people of Pennsylvania. This was after a speech wherein Obama said that the people of Pennsylvania were bitter at Washington, left behind in economic frustration. It’s an utterly ridiculous situation, and Clinton and McCain get thoroughly served, especially by Cafferty at the end.
Maybe there’s hope for “news” TV after all.
(thanks, Marco.)
