MD abuses dogs to find Cell Phones in Prison, CNN reports.

According to this CNN story, Maryland has started to use dogs to find cell phones among prisoners. As if we needed more dogs involuntarily put into dangerous situations. Maybe they should figure out how to recruit dogs and make them train to find the cell phones without force, then I might think this is a good idea. I hope Animal Rights activists are raising a stink there, I sure would be.

CNN: No Excitment for McCain, interviews Fake College Republican

CNN published a report interviewing a college republican that says that:

“We try to get people out to our college Republican meetings, but … we can’t seem to draw the same kind of vocal support,”

OK, interesting observations, maybe because Sen. McCain’s supporters are rational people who want to think things through, while Obama’s have become O’bots, that just repeat the party line? Anyways thats not the point; the point is that CNN identified him as “a member of the USC College Republicans organization”, problem: he is not a member of the USC College Republicans. CNN has quietly fixed the article on their website and will be interviewing a “infuriated” USC College Republican president Ben Myers who says that “I’ve never met him, heard of him, talked with him, nothing,” thats lovely CNN, why didn’t you talk with Ben, oh but wait, that would hurt your talking points you got from the Obama Campaign right? Oh and why didn’t you post this little statement from Ben on your article?

“We get a ton of people at our meetings, and a ton of really enthusiastic people, there is a lot of enthusiasm for McCain and for the conservative movement in general.”

CNN posted a pretty lame reply when the news broke, a few questions, what kind of meeting is this guy trying to get people to come to? I mean if he isn’t a member of the College Republicans group where is he trying to get people to come, is this some sort of media fabrication scandal as some bloggers have implied?

Thankfully, not quite all the media is in the tank for Obama, ABC decided to post on this, so did fox, but then even Democratic Propaganda Machine LA Times was forced to cover it.

CNN Poll: Support for Obama among Clinton Supporters Down

A New CNN/Research Corporation poll has support for Obama down among people who supported Clinton during the primary.

CNN’s Bill Schneider tried to explain it away by saying:

“These things always take time to heal. I think Clinton’s supporters are waiting to see if Sen. Obama will pick her as vice president. That would certainly be very healing to them.”

Also CNN’s Poling director Keating Holland said

“Many voters find it tough to immediately switch allegiances to a candidate that they once opposed, so they find a ‘neutral’ setting more comfortable for awhile,”

Right, Then why are Clinton supporters movinbg away from obama, not toward him? Digital Journal has the numbers, as does CNN. You will see that more supporters have gone back on they’re earlier decision to back Obama, is this because of NOBAMA Network and Just Say No Deal?
