Seems sort of funny to me how this goes. Kerry gets the nomination, and today CNN has had nothing but coverage of a Bush campaign speech - not even a really good one. Story number 1 with the big picture all day.

There has to have been bigger news that the sitting president saying he is going to do all the things he didn't do in the first time, and won't do now even though he is the president.

When did CNN get that conservative?

Yeah, the guy who directed "The Blob" died...to me that deserves more coverage than Bush...

All I know is he fucked up traffic today... I figure he comes here so much to get little black suitcases from AOG HQ and new batteries for Ashcroftbot.

I noticed that too - and FOX was covering Kerry/Edwards.

Get up this morning, check CNN, there is a NEW Bush story, "Bush reveals campaign themes" running as the #1 story with the big picture.

I am really starting to wonder.

Well, uhhh, the incumbent hitting the road and announcing his campaign themes is front page news and you suspect a media conspiracy? Dude ...

Kerry and Bush are now both on the front page at cnn.com. Bush is now on the front at Foxnews.com. It will go back and forth. Shouldn't it? Campaign season is now open.

It's all part of the demacommy plot to make people THINK they are unbiased. The biasedliberalmediaconspiracy is tricky like that. :rokk:

After spending a week covering the Democrats...... they probably have to throw some bones the Republicans way. We will see if they do the same courtesy after a week of the Republicans....

how true that Foxnews.com is also going with Kerry's side? or just mere speculation B)
