That Kerry is advertising on cnn.com? You'd think that the news should be third party wouldn't you? (and yes I know that they obviously aren't but at least they could pretend )

Them taking a paying advertiser doesn't mean they agree with what's being advertised.



It just means their making money off it LOL I see your point, but if that advertisement managed to sway them to one side or another then they are already hopeless.

I wish it was as simple as that, and technically it is, but do you ever think cnn would put an advertisment up for president Bush?



Cnn is so liberal its sickening. And this is just another step towards showing their distaste for the republican dominated politics right now.



Where as fox news is more conservative based.



Honestly though, anytime your watching any news program it is distorted. And you are hearing what they want you to hear. I don't visit sites like that for any type of info other than space/technology based developments.



Other than that it's a waste of time, and thought.

That's basically what it boild down to, like I said in theory taking an ad like that shouldn't taint the ability to unbias, but I think we all know how the real world is.

And people say I'm ignorant for not watching the news. Hell, I probably have the most un-biased opinion on politics as a result.

and I'm not afraid to admit that I enjoy it.





that was one of the goodies I bought to bring to the bachelor party. I had guys offering to buy it off me. Nothing like a nipple that dispenses beer!

when I was about in about 6th i was filling a big gulp and didn't realize that air needed to escape... so... I'm sittin there with the top on and the nozzle in the small hole at the top and the thing exploded! of course I was with my friends so we thought it was the funniest thing in the world, but the people working there weren't too amused
