    When did CNN become the new foxnews?

    I will admit I don't watch the news much on TV, I get most of my news from the net unless it's something big that happening. So I tune into CNN to see the pre election day dramas.

    It's been non stop praise of John McCain and almost a constant bashing of Obama. Every other commercial has been some GOP add attacking Obama. Then last week when Obama ran his 30 min campaign commercial CNN wouldn't sell Obama the air time but instead gave John McCain a "free" half hour show with Larry King.

    I'm amazed at how pro McCain they are and how anti Obama. I thought maybe I was watching Fox news.
    In November, you can vote for America's next president or its first dictator.

        ???

        Is the CNN in the US different than in Canada? Everything I've been watching for the past two months shows, if ANYTHING, they're pro-Obama. They TRY to be impartial but, if you listen closely, fail badly.

                    Bingo! We have a winner!

                    By Wednesday, regardless of the outcome, CNN will be back to usual.

                      There is no such thing as a true dedicated news channel anymore. They are all a for-hire media pumping out partisan biased agendas. It is all like some bad joke.

                      They no longer report the news... the report the news as THEY see it, giving you THEIR spin on it and THEIR opinions.

                      Just look at how that bug eyed bitch Nancy Grace is all over that Casey Anthony (tot mom) like some crazed foaming pitbull. Whatever happened to "Equal Justice Under Law" and "Innocent Until Proven Guilty"? I think that what is going on in these times is abuse of journilistic integrity, a good journalist reports the news and leaves the interpretation up to the reader or viewer.

                      And don't even get me start on all the fucking celebrity bullshit in the news....

                        It just depends on when you watch... Some moments are overly pro-McCain and then other moments are overly pro-Obama. For the majority of the time, the past few weeks, they've been pro-Obama. McCain just has more ad money the last few days.

                                    An Obama win probably signals a change in cable news coverage. I don't see 24/7 politics anymore.

                                    McCain on the other hand provides a ton political story angles.

                                    Now consider that FOX and CNN revolve around politics and you can see who they need to win.

                                      do you blame them for being that way?

                                      look it's simple either you vote for a hero or the anti christ..

                                      myself I already voted..

                                      McCain all the way

                                            As with most cable outlets carried on cable, your local cable company (TimeWarner, Comcast, whoever) has a certain number of ad spots to run per hour that CNN doesn't own --- and they obviously sold the spot to Fox News.

                                                  Really how is that? You mean John who has basically the same failing plan is now going to work well? Why do you think all he does is attack Obama he has nothing else to talk about. John wins and gets to pick two supreme court justices.I hope you have another skill to make a living at because as a industry we will be beyond fucked.

                                                      I don't see it that way to be honest with you....


                                                      in the last 8 years how have you been affected personally....

                                                      I see your sites are still live?

                                                      I think everyone is jumping the gun on things to be honest...

                                                      I am yet to see how obama will save porn and mccain will ruin it...

                                                      some examples of facts would be nice....

                                                          My pleasure the industry had been fucked very hard during the Nixon Administration and during Reagan. Adam and Eve spent one million dollars fighting during the reagan years(see meese commsion).Charles Keating who is a good friend of Johnny tried to put Larry flynt away for life and then was on Nixon's antiporn council. Charles Keating's Law firm gave mccain for prez 50k.
                                                          Why do you think Larry Flynt and Hugh hefner are democrats these are very rich men its because they actually lived thru the history. Dave Cummings a retired colonel who does well for himself is voting democrat why because he knows the history.
                                                          If 911 didnt happen porn would of been job one for john Ashcroft. During these years 2257 has been changed we saw the first inspections since it was created. People are defending themselves in court, some are going to jail . Attorneys were fired from the dept of justice for not going after adult porn.
                                                          The government is not a speed boat its a big battle ship that takes its time to move. Now that the frame work was set up during W its all set for John and the church lady to run with it.
                                                          Now alot of this isnt real to you because my guess is you came up like most during clinton. Who had an attorney general that felt going after adult porn was a waste of resources.
                                                          Now the next president gets to pick at least two supreme court justices. So that can effect our business big time.
                                                          We wont even get into Mccain being against net neutrality.

                                                            I will first say that I have nothing but much much respect for Lt. Col Dave Cummings I respect his word his writings his service very much but on this one I do not agree. although you and him have made the most valid points from any of the as I call them "extremist" on here...

                                                            but living in a world where my income comes from adult but I also see tons of other stuff in the world .... I have always agreed that they need to leave adult out of it... and I still think that... I think if it's legal in your bedroom it should be legal to film it and sell it... some people see different...

                                                            I really can't get into an argument I respect your word and thoughts on this you made valid point... I guess we will agree to disagree on this one...

                                                            I just can't go tree hugger LOL

                                                            you cold not buy my obama vote for 7 figures

                                                              Do I think a handful of pornographers are going to change an election one way or another? No I dont but I do think its important we all know our history. So I try to get the word out. I visit my folks at least once a week and there is a big old mccain/palin sign on their front lawn. So I can be open to all types of thought.

That is why I like it so much. CNN in general is like this. I have no idea what crockett is talking about. You can't get more fair and balanced news than on CNN. Just for good measure, I also read The New York Times and USAToday. I ocassionally check liberal and conservatives sites too. So you can see that I get my news from a variety of sources.

Why do you think all he does is attack Obama he has nothing else to talk about. John wins and gets to pick two supreme court justices.I hope you have another skill to make a living at because as a industry we will be beyond fucked.
                                                                        Truth is he's a gun nut. I guarantee you the only reason he's voting for McCain is because he thinks Obama will take his guns away, because that's what the NRA has told him.

                                                                        The harcore gun people are exactlly the same as the abortion people. They vote only for that "one" issue, anything else is second fiddle.

                                                                            And there is nothing wrong with Larry King interviewing McCain just before the election.

                                                                            Or maybe it was all their big scam. CNN supported McCain all along. The sheep voters vote for the last name they hear. So CNN kept talking about Obama for the last year so you would watch, and now at the last minute, they tell yo to vote for McCain.

                                                                            Remember, the people who run CNN are rich. And rich people don't share the wealth.
