Comments on: Most excellent Spitzer-related media gaffe: CNN http://boingboing.net/2008/03/12/most-excellent-spitz.html Brain candy for Happy Mutants Wed, 22 May 2013 01:04:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.1 By: Uncle_Max http://boingboing.net/2008/03/12/most-excellent-spitz.html#comment-142612 Uncle_Max Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-142612 @5: You are seeing what you want to see. The fact that those 3 stories are on the same page means as much as the fact that Djokovic winning the Australian Open is on that page too. The U.S. satellite is headed to Earth! Christian Brando died! A woman's life was transformed after dropping 110 pounds! Nice race-baiting CNN!\ Hate CNN all you want, but at least they never put links to The O'Reilly Factor on their front page. And by the way, would "having it out for Spitzer" be anything like what was done to Bill Clinton? Oh, and he DIDN'T GIVE MONEY TO AN ILLEGAL BUSINESS WHILE IN CHARGE OF THE POLICE FORCE! It doesn't matter what vendetta people had against him, he did this to himself, and he deserves to be run out of town. @5: You are seeing what you want to see.

(A list of articles about Obama's primary victories interspersed between an article about election violence in Kenya (with pic) and an article about Michael Vick's dogs. Pure, unadulterated race-baiting. I didn't shop that image, I merely recorded it. Viacom & al have it out for Spitzer, which is why there has been a concerted effort on all of their outlets to push him to resign. They replayed quotes from Letterman backing this up all through the morning traffic reports on both of their stations. What bothers the ever-living shit out of me is that they aren't challenged from any other sentry.

The man is a saint because Rupert Murdoch's flaming eye has turned to him. Perfect end to his power-grabbing Ted Haggard-ish career.
