26. CNN Birther Moment!

Wed Nov 7, 2012, 12:42 PM

Nov 2012

The big news this morning is about Carl Rove and Fox news, but did anyone see CNN when they called Ohio for Obama? Last night I mainly watched the election coverage on MSNBC, but would switch over to Fox and CNN occasionally. Just after MSNBC called Ohio for Obama, I switched over to CNN. They were lagging re Ohio but called it about two or three minutes later. AND, they followed with shots of various crowds reacting to that call. CNN showed the crowds in the arena in Chicago, in Time Square, outside the White House and about a 5 second camera shot of a crowd in OMG...KENYA!!! What the hell! Even Fox News wasn't sinking that low!
