Is CNN sitting on Maine results in attempt to help Clinton?
Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 05:07 PM by TexasObserver
They seem to be. We have a lot more delegates and caucus results posted here than they are reporting. For over an hour, they've shown it

Obama 51% 175 state delegates
Clinton 48% 168 state delegates

I think they're sitting on numbers showing Obama getting out in front. Watch them to see how long it takes them to report new results. They have had 11% returns for over an hour with no update.

11. That's another reason I think CNN is trying to hide the results.
You know they have the results. What possible reason would that sit on new, late breaking results?

They're Hillary shills, that's why.

44. MSNBC has been practically ignoring the races this weekend
They ran Hillary promos yesterday, instead of news. It's as if they have reached some agreement with her campaign to play down Obama's big weekend.

18. When you have to watch Fox to get current news on a Democratic caucus
It shows how far CNN has fallen.

38. It does not surprise me as to much of MSM is not objective.
I think it mostly leans to the left, except for Fox, which leans right.

Edited on Sun Feb-10-08 05:09 PM by polichick
"Yes, we can" message today ~ I noticed that earlier. She says we're a "Can-do" country, and goes through almost the same list that Obama does about Americans doing the hard stuff.

Yeah, just because some don't start for awhile,
they should give the results anyway - before they vote. Otherwise - it's a conspiracy!

27. half the results are in. CNN reports only 11% as Clinton falls behind.
It doesn't take leap of faith to see what the Clinton News Network is doing.

10. And HOW does this conspiratorial plot achieve anything...
...since the official numbers will be out by then end of the day on all the other networks?

Consider that most of the postings here have been from personal experience or a political blog site - NOT official results from the Maine Democratic Party.

14. Fox New has over 40% of the results. CNN 11%. They're trying to help Hillary
By sitting on the bad news, since there are caucuses yet to be had.

23. maybe I'm a bit too sensitive or something, but...
last night for the reports of Huckleberry surprise wins - the announcers were excited - breathless Wolfie - Huck SMASHED McCain (football stadium excitement) we all know that sound.
but when reporting the Sweep Obama had - they sounded low key and very unexcited. ho hum.
