The CNN anti-Bush conspiracy

[nbs2]

I thought people might have fun with this one (http://drudgereport.com/flash5cn.htm). Super-basic cable here (just the locals), so I didn't see this happen - don't know the severity.

Enjoy!It's like feeding time at the zoo!

i guess it's natural that drudge would assume it was intentional. from crooks and liars (http://www.crooksandliars.com/2006/05/15.html#a8302):

CNN just sent me an email with a document (http://movies.crooksandliars.com/ovaloval.doc) saying that:"NBC stage manager has now admitted he cued the president early and CNN was the only network ready to go."

I am still of the opinion that the only credible anti-Bush conspiracy comes from Bush himself.

I saw the "regular" speech. I thought it was pretty good. Unfortunately, I am not sure I believe any of it. That's the effect of lack-of-credibility on Leadership.

That's not CNN's fault, or anyone else's...it is Bush's.

Which is pretty sad, no matter which side of the partisan divide you might see yourself.

I don't know. I'm with nbs2. Clearly, all the problems in America are the fault of CNN showing 18 seconds of Bush practicing his speech.

The fault was the NBC guy's. Bush apparently stopped when he saw or was told the other networks weren't transmitting him. Miscues happen all the time when an anchor tosses to a reporter in the field, for example. No big deal really.

I should have clarified that the thread title was there just to lure people in and spark fun little comments. Regardless of the greater problems facing America, I do find it comical that the first thing I heard on the radio this morning was this story (and no recap of the actual speech). Of course, it is mindnumbingly pointless babble (Elliot in the Morning for those of you who listen to DC101 and I think he is syndicated in Richmond)
