A quick aside, because it can now be made official: CNN.COM is full of complete and utter shit. People are allowed to leave comments on their political ticker, which covers dozens of stories a day, obviously today centering around the Democratic debate. When you try to comment, you are reminded that all comments are moderated carefully and based on sheer numbers, most will not get through, blah blah. Not only is this untrue, those 'moderators' are about as useful as a turd in your ice cream. So one mini-story in particular today covered the issue of Obama's 'blackness', and some complete asshole left this comment:
Republican Presidential Candidate Dr. Ron Paul, M.D. welcomes all men and women who are seekers of freedom and liberty. The only “race” that matters to Ron Paul supporters is the “Human Race”. An example of this can be found in what his supporters did for children in Spartanburg South Carolina this week end. Click on the link and find out what really matters!
And, sure enough, there's a link below. It's still there-- a god damn advertisement for another candidate!!! So I left a little comment to the effect of "since when is CNN in the business of allowing jerks to advertise for free on their website? Way to 'moderate' your comments, guys!". It was posted immediately because, as I said, they're full of shit. But the kicker? Within 20 minutes MINE GOT DELETED, and THE OTHER ONE IS STILL THERE!!! What a fucking joke. I'm going to go back and link some youtube videos pimping Dennis Kucinich, and maybe one claiming that Hillary eats babies; apparently that's okay to do, but calling CNN's objectivity and moderation practices into question is a serious no-no.
Bunch of fuckin' wankers.
