    CNN.com Biassed Against Obama?

    This is totally minor, but I thought it was interesting. I snagged this screencap from CNN.com's politics page the day Bush endorsed McCain. · · So, how come

    This is the kind of thing that frightens me. It's this kind of bias that influences voters.

    RE: CNN No Longer Biassed Against Obama!

    D'oh! They changed it!

    @PixelFish Well, it is on *my* blog ;)

    But you're right--I should try to pass this around. Of course, CNN has changed it since I did my screencap.

    @Robert, you're exactly right--it's little things like this that quietly stop people from reading more about a candidate. It may seem subtle to some, but it's a glaring omission in my mind.

    @Chris, I think you're right. Though, I don't think it's America that isn't ready for a black guy to run, I think it's the establishment. The "system" is what always has trouble changing. Individuals are usually pretty reasonable. One of the big shocks to me this election season is the candidate-of-choice for the ULTRA-conservative mother of my best friend who, until recently, still thought the Iraq war was a good idea. She's voting for Obama. Cray-z. I *never* would have thought it. She's been threatening me for years that she'll send me O'Reilly's latest book. Thankfully, she has yet to follow through.
