So this woman being employed by CNN disallows her from having an opinion? I didn't see anything biased in the part that actually aired. Seemed to me like she realized that she picked the wrong guy to interview and tried to move away from it as quickly as possible. And CNN is not responsible for what she says off air, so anything else she may have said is pointless to even bring up.
Are you joking? The woman was clearly taking up a position and arguing with the protester. That has NEVER been part of a reporter's job. Reporters are supposed to be "neutral" and take no side in any debate they are covering. This is journalism 101, and everyone knows it.
Personally, I get all this bitching by the right. It's wierd to see the shoe is on the other foot, but the left has complained about Bush and everything he has done for years. It only seems fair . . . or at least consistent . . . that Obama gets scrutinized for every move he makes. As long as I am still in favor of Obama, it is easy for me to sit here and read all the complaints about Obama and actually get a sense of pleasure that maybe the right will know how the left has been feeling for the past 4-8 years. Of course if I start to dislike Obama, I will once again be in that group disgruntled with government and it won't be quite as amusing to me . . .
I guess you're right to an extent. I watched it again, and she does do that. I thought she had asked him a question and instead of answering it, he went on a rant. But upon second viewing, all she said was "why are you here today?"
Not only that, you could clearly see how disgusted she was by the whole protest. It was written all over her tone of voice and her body language. She was trying to give off clues to anyone who was watching that these people were ignorant rednecks.
We need more citizens with this type of attitude. The attitude that you would rather see the opposing party angry and "know how the left has been feeling", than have our President do what is best for the country. Bravo. [/sarcasm]
Hey I got news for you. Obama won. Now I get to hear you bitch like I gotta bitch when Bush was in office. Amazing how what comes around goes around isn't it?
Only I guesss when people bitch about Obama, it legitimate bitching. But when people bitch about Bush it's not. There are a lot open minds on this board
Or maybe . . .just maybe . . . posters are complaining about Obama when he hasn't done anything wrong. Nah . . . that would never happen.
who's complaining about Obama? at least in this thread? we're complaining about shoddy journalism then Obama-ites start going off and making it a "lynching" of Obama?
The main point was about government spending, not specifically about Obama. While there were some that were complaining about that, the main point was the bailouts, stimulus package, etc...not Obama himself.
It seems like there is a lot of frustration being directed at the president . . . which I will say if they are upset about the stimulus package, I could see why they would blame Obama. I don't want to watch the video again, but weren't there signs saying "bad things" about Obama?
Yes. There probably were. But the main point of the day was about taxpayer money, redistribution of wealth, etc. Many are trying to paint this as an "anti-Obama" protest when its merely about taxes.
