CNN's Commitment to Equality

How about we compare apples to apples cnredd?

Negative stories aired about B. Hussein Obama: 43
Negative stories aired about J McCain: ??

Or is it even just a single digit?

Let's face some REAL perspective.
Both Obama and Palin were "dark horses", and every little dark "potential" secret was news...
... at the time the value of the candidate was determined.

Palin is "7.3 per week" after three weeks.
Do you think that average will be the same in another three weeks???

Do you think McCain has had anywhere near 43 negative stories by CNN???
Of course not. That's why the author went with Palin instead!!!

If we had a GRAPH of these "negative stories", the truth would be clear.
The "negative stories" come faster when the candidate is "freshly discovered" as being news-worthy, and then die out ...

Furthermore, this whole approach ignores the issue of the LEGITIMACY of questioning Palin on numerous issues.
If McCain had nominated David Duke, I'm sure you would see people complaining that the media is "being mean" and "unfair" with "too many stories" about him...

And if Sen. Obama had selected Al Sharpton as his running mate, you on the left would falling all over yourselves defending him. What's your point????

God is a conservative -

Ecclesiastes 10:2--"A wise man's heart inclines him to the right, but a fool's heart to the left."

You wouldn't even recognize it as negative but as near as I can tell ALL of their stories about them are negative and 99% of the stories on Obama are positive. So the actual number of stories is just a meaningless statistic anyway. Reminds me of the most important question about the "fairness doctrine" is WHO gets to decide whats "fair"?
Funniest part though is that the national media didn't even know who Palin was even though she was on "the SHORT list" for several months(good job on the homework gang)

One more easy question for you.

Can you tell me any CNN reporter that reports the conservative side of ANY issue. Likewise the other outlets. All claim to be fair but somehow there is NO ONE giving the WHOLE story.
