I SAW that earlier today! Then I looked again and it was gone.

CNN is chock full of leftie loonies, lemma tell ya.

CNN refused to acknowledge that Kerry had lost the election, remember? A perfect example of politics interfering with their ability to deliver NEWS.

More likely just some $15/hr image editor in the CNN online content department with a sense of humor.

What's the problem? You have "a$$hole" on one hand, and "moron" on the other. As pertains to Bush, I'd say that's reasonably fair and balanced.

They were too busy burning flags and keeping God-fearing farmers from the Polls.



I guess no one remembers how embarrassing it was in 2000 when news channels called it too early and then had to retract it. This time around there were tons of self-imposed rules and guidelines to make sure they didn't call it one way or the other until it was darn near official.

They were cautious this year and no one was hurt by it.

Is it rude? Yes. Is it a fake news story? Nope.

Has CNN & CBS conceded that Bush has won yet?

CNN projected Ohio for Bush before I went to bed Tuesday night althought they made it clear that it wasn't official.

CBS called it the next day when it became official after Kerry conceded.

The projections were based on math and data wrangling. Some stations do it better than others. They were all cautious this year which I thought was far more responsible than rushing to call it early.

That just makes them look like cry babying sore losers.

They have no class I am afraid.

They could learn a thing or two from Kerry.

That's hilarious.

You guys would've been laughing your heads off if Kerry had won and Fox had done the same.

Not really. I would think it was petty then too.

Just like I did when they did that freedom fries thing.

That was embarrassing.

um...the guy responsible was a Netscape employee. And he's been fired. Nothing to do with CNN.
