CNN “tools”

[VoiceofReason]

What would you think if you scanned over the following headline?

McCain hopes $1 coin leads to bigger tips for strippers.

This was the headline of one of CNN’s articles. If you just scanned over the headline, you would be left with a lower opinion of McCain. Right?

If you read further, you might think this was a setup by a “journalist”. I don’t think I need to explain why I put quotation marks around “journalist”.

The following is a direct quote from CNN. http://politicalticker.blogs.cnn.com/20 ... =allsearch" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

If Congress passes the COINS Act replacing the $1 paper bill for a coin, the U.S. government may be able to save billions in printing costs at the expense of a little more jangle in the average consumers' pockets. But what about the strippers?

That's what The Hill newspaper asked one of the bill's co-sponsors, Sen. John McCain, in a piece published Thursday. The question came from a separate 2011 story where the publication suggested strippers could suffer in a bill-less economy, with G-strings and garter belts far less accommodating of cold metal.

For his part, the Arizona Republican responded in stride in a Capitol Hill hallway.
"Then I hope that they could obtain larger denominations," McCain reportedly told The Hill.

I don't think it is possible for my opinion of McCain to be any lower than it was prior to reading this post. So I think my answer would be "No".

I am not endorsing McCain. Just pointing out another instance of gutter reporting of the main stream media.

Just another instance of the MSM demonstrating how they treat their R(INO)epublican "friends."

I have to agree with the others: I couldn't possibly have a lower view of McCain. Now it's a toss up between whether I have a lower view of McCain or CNN.
