CNN biased? Nah.
http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/...tes/index.html
Absolutely no mention that the majority party had 94 defectors as well. It's all just Republicans. Can the MSM influence public opinion? Is there ANY doubt? Citizens are polling according to what they are fed.

Did the MSM force McCain to suspend his campaign & sprint to Washington to "save the nation"?
McCain threw a hail-mary pass and it fell to the ground. How is that the announcer's fault? On the one hand, the MSM is the devil and responsible for all kinds of bad things... on the other hand, nobody listens to them anymore and Rush Limbaugh is the nation's oracle of truth & wisdom. |

the media wants the bailout to pass. They've been selling it for weeks. It didn't fail because of those dirty republicans. It failed because Americans are not convinced yet and those lawmakers are afraid of angering their constituents. That's why so many democrats also voted against.

(Ofcourse Pelosi screwed up, but since McCain is - consistent with his high stakes political predicament - trying to blame the whole thing on Obama, why should I *not* pin this on the GOP "Jr. mavericks"?) If *nothing* else, this is all incredibly fascinating drama, a very big national crisis with the highest degree of political gamesmanship interwoven. |

Before McCain came to town the conservative bloc of 50 had not been consulted AT ALL. The press parroted Barney Frank that a deal was already cut even though it hadn't been. And yet the Dems could STILL have passed the bill had they kept their caucus together. After McCain's work, these R's were included in negotiations and many came on board. Not enough, obviously, but more than otherwise would've been. And yet the Dems could STILL have passed the bill had they kept their caucus together. If we're going to continue to use bad football analogies, this one isn't a flat-falling Hail Mary. It's a deep ball that connected, and within 5-yards of a touchdown, a linebacker named Nancy Pelosi marched out and tacked the receiver. Meanwhile, Obama, after shouting out play calls from the stands, left to get a hotdog and missed the entire play.
