CNN on Obama's Pennsylvania Remarks

Some people say CNN is "in the tank" for Obama. That, perhaps, Ted Turner Himself worships at the feet of the Obamessiah. This so obviously isn't the case, though.

As you may recall, for example, Obama said this:

But the truth is, is that, our challenge is to get people persuaded that we
can make progress when there's not evidence of that in their daily lives.
You go
into some of these small towns in Pennsylvania, and like a lot of
small towns in
the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and
nothing's replaced
them. And they fell through the Clinton administration,
and the Bush
administration, and each successive administration has said
that somehow these
communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. So
it's not surprising then
that they get bitter, they cling to guns or
religion or antipathy to people who
aren't like them or anti-immigrant
sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to
explain their frustrations.



CNN, as you may recall, offered much criticism of Obama's gaffe:


See? Totally unbiased reporting. One commenter even mentioned that Obama's remarks were "inartful." ZING!

They ended the session by facing Chicago and chanting "Yes We Can."
