The Media - CNN
Sadly, some significant portion of Americans still view CNN; and even worse, view CNN as an accurate news source...
Here's a part of Paul Ibrahim post on his website:
"So, CNN, you published a story about the decision of a man who worked on 'a number of Democratic campaigns in Cleveland,' who managed the office of a Congressional Democrat, and who is 'very far away from Bush' to vote for Barack Obama? For some reason, I suspect that when he was casting his ballot for Obama he wasn't really voting 'Democrat in the first time almost ever.'
And if we give it a little more thought, if this 61-year old man convered to the GOP 15 years ago (at which point he still apparently opposed core Republican positions), then he has spent the majority of his adult life, about 30 years, as a Democrat. (For those who are still suspicious that it's the same man, this Los Angeles Times piece provides conclusive evidence that that is the case).
Reading the CNN story, one would think that hell is freezing over as even lifelong hardcore Republicans are now falling at the feet of The One. If CNN had done a simple Google search, they would have not only realized that their story is unimpressive, but also that it's incredibly reckless and deceptive. Or perhaps they knew, and are being flat out manipulative."
