Minor adjustment and edit by GreyHawk. See comments...
Revised by Carol, No changes but update.I had a series of physical mishaps last week and so was not ontop of all the exciting (and otherwise) posts. The way that CNN deliberate shapes the political debate is not only infuriating but dangerous. By substituting lies and trivia and a good dose of horse rate mentality into their coverage, they no doubt succeed in channelling voters thinking, even I imagine critics such as myself. So I am front-paging this now to bring more intention to the situation.
I have done this by using the "revision" button. I have changed nothing in the text. I am not sure how this works but we shall all see.
Once again in the Corporate Media makes an "Executive Decision", about who America should see as their Viable Choices:
Hillary Clinton
Barack Obama
John McCain
Rudy Giuliani
Mike Huckabee
Mitt Romney
Only these Candidates were the Focus of the latest CNN Poll

Again, with the Narrative
Submitted by: Aaron Barlow on Tue, 01/08/2008 - 23:54
Once more, the American commercial news media have created a story and then reported it as “news.”
How long, just how long can this go on?
Polls, the day before the New Hampshire primary, show Hillary Clinton suddenly dropping far behind Barack Obama. Clinton has an emotional moment before the primary. She wins the primary. Suddenly, we have a story, a narrative the news media can get their teeth into. Rather than simply reporting the news, they can create it.
