Who works at CNN anyway?

Ok, this is a typical CNN news article. Reads like an Obama campaign ad. I love the way it mentions the "deceptive McCain ad" in the last paragraph. Just to be clear... Here is the very first sentence:

Barack Obama's decision to forgo public financing for his presidential campaign provides him with the tools needed to implement a "Shock and Awe" television ad strategy designed to paralyze John McCain's campaign, an expert on political TV advertising said in an interview with CNN.

And like its partner in journalistic crime, the WaPo, it legitimizes its one-sided rant with "expert" opinion. Forget about the fact that Obama lied about accepting public financing; lying seems to be a key element of his euphonic speeches.

Obama promised to accept public financing before he knew he could raise more money from donors. Now that he can raise twice as much from donors as Uncle Sam would give him if he forswore private donations, of course he's pursuing the bigger bucks. What's more troubling is Obama's list of flip-flops is so limitless, he's beginning to sound like he tailors his position to whichever audience he's addressing at the moment. When he spoke to an AIPAC meeting a couple of weeks back, he said he supports Israeli control of Jerusalem. The next day, trying to placate angry Arab supporters, Obama said "negotiators" should work out the contentious Jerusalem issue.

Caveat emptor.
