Has anyone else noticed that CNN’s political blog has completely gone to heck? I say heck, but it’s actually a lot closer to something else which I won’t mention. I should have realized that back when they started posting articles that described how one candidate’s supporters began to boo, upon hearing comments from an opposing candidate. While CNN certainly attempts to be impartial (okay, not that much), there is a discernible push for Clinton. Just today there was a post on how a “Major Clinton supporter calls Obama remark ‘absolutely stupid’.” That “major supporter” turned out to be Charlie Rangel, a Congressman from New York who wants to reinstate the draft. While reinstating the draft would ensure an immediate end to the war in Iraq (or an uprising here at home), creating chaos is not the best way to bring about change in a modern society.
What CNN hasn’t publicized is that fact that Clinton’s supporters are actively trying to prevent food service workers from participating in the Nevada caucuses. The Teachers’ Union is claiming that by having caucuses on the Strip, it unfairly facilitates those who work on the Strip. The reality is that the Clinton campaign is doing everything possible to prevent the Nevada Culinary Union from actively backing Obama. Add this to the whole “race card” accusations and the New Hampshire recount and the whole primaries are now just a complete mess.
