CNN's Commitment to Equality

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Tuesday, September 23. 2008 11:35
CNN is genuinely fair and balanced, says anchor Rick Sanchez. The proof?

Negative stories aired about B. Hussein Obama: 43
Negative stories aired about Sarah "Cooties" Palin: 22

See? 43 is bigger than 22.

That ought to convince all of us neanderthal conservatives about how pure and holy CNN's dedication to being fair is.*
*Oh wait, I reckon I did neglect to share one key detail with you, didn't I?

Obama has been campaigning for 19 months, during which those 43 stories were generated. Which makes for roughly (43 stories / 82 weeks) a half of a negative story per week.

Sarah Palin, as you'll recall, was announced three weeks ago, which means she's up to (22 stories / 3 weeks) 7.3 negative stories per week—Which rounds to roughly one negative story PER DAY.

Rick, your dedication to fairness is certainly inflated. Much like your ego.

(Thanks to HD1200 for the amusement.)

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™ Daily Presidential Tracking Poll Friday, March 19, 2010 The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as President. Forty-four percent (44%) Strongly Disapprove giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -21. That matches the lowest Approval Index rating yet recorded for this President (see trends). Each time the President leads a big push for his health care plan, his job approval ratings suffer. For Members of Congress, the impact may be more tangible. Just 34% say they’re more likely to vote for someone who supports this legislation. Fifty-percent (50%) are less likely to vote for a Member of Congress who supports the health care reform plan proposed by the President and Congressional Democrats.
