- omgTHEPATRIOTS, on 02/09/2008, -18/+139CNN is as bad as Fox news. What a crock of *****!
- augenblick2007, on 02/09/2008, -6/+87CNN is crazy about supporting Clintons. Remember they were pushing for the magic ticket so that they guarantee their horse (billary) will be in the white house somehow, even as VP.
- YouAreFun, on 02/09/2008, -2/+67Does anyone have a link to this? The link that is posted is not to what this says.
- jimmyhoffa2222, on 02/09/2008, -5/+69She then said "Am I live????"
- DiggLive, on 02/09/2008, -34/+90Obama in '08! Don't write in Ron Paul because he won't enforce Net Neutrality because it's not in the constitution. Something Diggers thought was important before the bandwagon.

Some comments from that year and a half old Digg article (July 2006):
"Bravo Obama. From Chicago, I say: Obama for President"
"Maybe after a couple more terms as a senator, he will be ready to run for president."
"He should run for Prez in 08"
"Second that, Obama kicks ass. He's got my vote already."
"I would love to see Obama as president. There's finally a contender who just... just... gets it!" - jimmyhoffa2222, on 02/09/2008, -4/+45Reminding people: It was an internet stream. They killed it shortly afterwards. This happened just 20 minutes ago. We haven't found a recording of it yet.
- sdave007, on 02/09/2008, -4/+39CNN = Clinton News Network
- MrKrinkleDude, on 02/09/2008, -3/+36What's interesting is if you read CNN they always state that Clinton is in the lead with delegates. However, if you read other sites or watch ABC, they claim that Obama is in the lead by a small margin in delegates.
- NManX, on 02/09/2008, -1/+33Hopefully someone got a recording of it. I saw it too but wasn't recording.
- hipnerd, on 02/10/2008, -6/+38Not to interrupt the paranoia, but what if her job was to get a Hillary supporter's reaction to the race because they had just interviewed an Obama supporter. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for her to be seeking someone with a specific political viewpoint besides tinfoil-hat conspiracy theories.
I'm an Obama supporter, but this is ridiculous. We don't even have it on tape to examine and everyone is running around like they just discovered Karl Rove is running CNN.
CNN is not a very good news source, but their failings are sensationalism, not partisan politics or hidden agendas. If you want that sort of thing, tune in to Fox. - BenLinus, on 02/09/2008, -2/+31What a joke. Makes me question the legitimacy of their Delegate counter. Every other news site shows Obama either tied or ahead of Clinton. CNN has always shown Clinton ahead by 100+
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22419475 MSNBC has: Obama: 861 to Clinton: 855
Now that I know they are biased towards her, makes me wonder how accurate these figures really are. >: ( - suhielhabib, on 02/09/2008, -2/+30Anytime news = profit we have a problem. They are all the same with different figure heads.
- morphedo, on 02/09/2008, -7/+35Please, do EVERYTHING you can to get this digged. We have to expose CNN.
- BojanglesUdon, on 02/09/2008, -6/+33Way to uphold journalistic integrity. Disgusting.
- DigDugDigger, on 02/09/2008, -0/+26Somebody somewhere has it. Somebody always does.
- chall85, on 02/09/2008, -1/+26Maybe they had just interviewed a bunch of other Pro-Obama people and wanted someone for Hillary? I don't know. What was the context?
- hoffey, on 02/09/2008, -8/+33“I believe strongly that the internet should not be regulated by the federal government and believes even more strongly that people should be free to engage in the activities they wish, as long as they are willing to take responsibility for their actions.”
The Texas Congressman is co-sponsoring a bill to legalize online gambling along with Democrat Barney Frank.
“The majority of people in Washington were afraid to support the internet for fear it would label them ‘pro-porn’ or ‘pro-gambling’.” Paul continued.
http://www.infowars.net/articles/august2007/060807 ... - loggia, on 02/09/2008, -1/+25The New York Times doesn't seem to like Obama either. Everyday they have some article on the front page trying to knock him. He comes from behind and blows everyone away and then the times headline was "In Vote, Obama Fell Short of Fervor." WTF?
No matter what he does, they find some way to criticize him.
With about 7 media companies in the U.S. owning everything, objectivity is a just a thing of the past. None are remotely as bad as Fox, but they all seem to have lost some component of journalistic integrity. - narchost, on 02/09/2008, -3/+23I saw this too, that was pretty awful.
- abbajabanana, on 02/09/2008, -5/+25I watch CNN way too much and am a journalist with a small suburban newspaper, and the sentiment that they are just as biased as FOX is correct. Every media outlet is. CNN is just more underhanded about it - here is another in a litany of examples you could cite: http://www20dc.com/article.php?id=220
- jimmyhoffa2222, on 02/09/2008, -5/+24It was an internet stream. They killed it shortly afterwards. This happened just 20 minutes ago.
- whiteboy, on 02/09/2008, -2/+17The interview is playing right now...
- insomn3ak, on 02/09/2008, -6/+19CNN isn't the only one pulling this crap. MSNBC has had a conveniently timed article about Obamas drug use on the home-page all day today. It's so interesting that they had all this time to bring this up, but somehow it just happens to be home-page news on the day of this important primary.
I ***** hate these people. - AndrewDB, on 02/09/2008, -9/+22CNN = Corrupted News Network, or Clinton News Network, take your pick.
- ashObama08, on 02/09/2008, -0/+11The Clinton News Network is on its game again. There's some comfort in knowing things never change.
- FlaG8r, on 02/09/2008, -1/+12No chance it was one of those segments where they like to put up a rep from each camp and they already had an Obama rep?
- altinnovation, on 02/09/2008, -1/+12It makes me so angry when I see things like this, knowing that there are people out there that want to ***** me over for their profit.
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -4/+15"Learn how a free market works. It is only BECAUSE of Government Regulation that we have regional monopolies with cable and telephone companies."
so what are you going to do? Level the playing field? essentially press the reset button on the entire US economy and tell everyone to start again? No, so you need to work with the mess you've created, or come up with a way to reverse all the damage done by giving companies subsidies and tax cuts. - GoKings, on 02/09/2008, -4/+14Notice how CNN has Clinton up pretty big in delegates, when all of the other major news stations have Obama up.
- Prototek, on 02/09/2008, -6/+16Yea, no one is arguing with you. You need government regulation to keep network neutrality or else the corporations screw the consumer. The free market doesn't necessarily benefit the consumer.
- youreh, on 02/09/2008, -3/+12cnn counts superdelegates.
- q1006662, on 02/09/2008, -2/+11It's gone now.... did you think they wouldn't remove it? BTW, if you find it again, I'll digg it
- christor, on 02/10/2008, -4/+12This is ridiculous. CNN may have gone too far in the direction of tabloidism (I remember when checking CNN.com compulsively was actually a decent way to be informed), but they are nothing like Fox News. Fox shills for Republicans well past the point of parody. CNN, whatever its flaws, is nothing like it.
This argument, by the way, attempts to appeal to that latent impulse we all have to imagine ourselves as "reasonable." And to define "reasonable" as somewhere in between the bickering, partisan others. While moderation very often gets us closer to truth, the impulse can lead us astray when one of the poles is radically out of whack. Just because some idiot says the Earth is flat while others say it's round doesn't mean that the truth is in the middle. Sometimes when people disagree, one side is wrong. Case in point: Fox News. - inactive, on 02/09/2008, -5/+13And if you dislike a company that does tiered service with different costs, you're welcome to leave them and go to their competition. If people demand it, the free market will supply it.
- inactive, on 02/09/2008, -1/+9Why would anyone do that?
We are not getting rid of lawsuits, right? The Democrats are going to select a lawyer as president we could see a record number of presidential proclamations and executive orders.
I hope Americans realize we need another Clinton in the White House like we need another great depression. - Pake, on 02/09/2008, -5/+13That's the point. He has no problem with ISP companies controlling your internet activity. Should you be forced to buy a tiered system where you pay for instance $25 for Google searching with YouTube blocked, or you could pay $40 for their "Media Package" that lets you use YouTube. This is what net neutrality is about and Ron Paul wants companies to regulate it's usage.
- inactive, on 02/10/2008, -1/+9Where I live, I don't have a choice, it's Time Warner or nothing at all.
- AndrewDB, on 02/09/2008, -2/+10Sure, sitting around digging this will really expose the truth.
How about instead of sitting on your ass and clicking your mouse, you forward this to a couple local news papers and let them report on it? - Valar29, on 02/10/2008, -0/+8Here is the explanation from CNN: http://www.politico.com/blogs/bensmith/0208/Jessic ...
- jarogers, on 02/10/2008, -0/+7CNN also keeps listing a delegate count that includes super delegates which is a crop of sh!t. All to make Clinton look ahead when in fact she is behind.
- iamnotrich, on 02/09/2008, -2/+9http://abcnews.go.com/politics/elections/candidate ... 1,073 cllinton
http://abcnews.go.com/politics/elections/candidate ... 1,002 obama - alittleroy101, on 02/09/2008, -0/+7I am thinking the same thing.
- BenLinus, on 02/10/2008, -6/+13What a joke, it really makes me question the legitimacy of CNN's Delegate tracker. MSNBC shows that Obama is ahead.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22419475
CBS shows he is only 50 delegates behind. But CNN keeps saying she has 100+ delegates more then him, Makes me wonder how accurate their figures really are, considering how biased the are towards Clinton. - Hegemony, on 02/10/2008, -0/+7That's without super-delegates. So far most of them are going Clinton's way. But that could change.
- loggia, on 02/09/2008, -0/+7And then when there is proof, you'll find some other way to dismiss it. Right?
- youreh, on 02/09/2008, -1/+8where am i supposed to see this? the link brings me to the cnn ticker, not video. there is no story about it on the cnn ticker.
- D3koy, on 02/09/2008, -0/+7Well, I gotta see this video...I don't doubt CNN did this, but it's just wild...I MUST see it
- gypsi, on 02/09/2008, -0/+7the original link was useless regardless. what's the point of a volatile link?
- gypsi, on 02/10/2008, -4/+10what are you, a cnn coffee boy? the original link was useless to begin with. if someone posts a link, people expect to be able to click to it, brainiac.
