I began my Saturday online at DKOS checking out the Wyoming threads. After 50% of the results were in and Obama had a solid lead I thought I would browse the MSM coverage. My only options were CNN and FOX. MSNBC took the day off (airing a Manson murders special).
Much to my chagrin the CNN reporter was located outside the state capitol in Pennsylvania. This kind of framing I was not interested in so I quickly flicked to FOX.
Lo and behold, FOX was actually in Wyoming covering the primary. I watched on and off into the evening. FOX kicked CNN's ass. And that has to hurt. You have to be losing integrity points and self esteem when FOX news is MORE REAL than yours.
So I go to thinking about CNN and the big picture. We know from 1984 that there is such a thing as Truth Speak. It is a substitute for Truth which serves the needs of the powers that be. We look at FOX and see truth speak in effect often for the Republican party.
Now it seems CNN is backing the horse of Hillary Clinton so strongly that it will engage in FOX-like news. Kind of disappointing. Someone somewhere with lots-o-money really wants Hillary in the Whitehouse. So much so that her "new narrative" and "momentum" have crystalized and taken on gargantuan proportions.
What a gift alternative news sources like DKOS are.
