Ahhh the CNN Bias

[OnePimpTiger]

Just wanted to point this out, just for fun and for certain people to say "Oh it's no big deal, you're just making stuff up."

Just took this screenshot from CNN.com's homepage a minute ago:



Now if you look at the two articles I circled:

The "GOPer":



and the "Commentary":




Exactly the same type of articles, but not exactly the same type of listings. So if it's a Democrat, it's just "commentary," but if it's a Republican, they feel the need to warn you and make sure you know it's coming from a "GOPer." Love the objectivity...

whats a goper?

[Star_Cards]

a fish? that animal in caddyshack?

Willie Wonka and the everlasting goper? Gomers Cousin? a big Loogie?.....an ice cream scoop(only when used by lunch ladies for mashed potatoes), a muppets extra?

If it sees its shadow, we'll have eight more months of Democratic-controlled Congress.

It must be hard work to scour every website for every instance of inequality.

Both of them are called "Commentary" when you click to the expanded story. Replacing "GOPer" with "Commentary" in the front page headline would have made it too long to fit the frame it is in.

This is nothing more than having to find some replacement for "Commentary" to fit the space available for the headline.

Also, I am registered Republican and voted for Ron Paul.

Actually I scour only one website...I get just about all my news from CNN, don't even look at the other sites. And no scouring needs to be done, it's pretty blatant most of the time.

And as for making it fit, why not say "Commentary: Bipartisanship is hard"...after all, that's what the article is actually called.

I will admit I expected it to be one of our liberal friends to make excuses for it...

"Commentary: Bipartisanship is hard work" looks like it would fit if you compare it to the "Monday Memo" headline (the longest one).

But they had to go and be biased and say that "...Obama flunked..."

I'm sure some people think I'm a looney, but that's what I'm seeing.
