It makes sense that they would pitch a message like that. They [CNN] are eager to steer the vote and there are a few complete zombies out there dumb enough to believe the pitch.

You have to remember that the media LOVES Obama and the left. Remember when Obama was elected? I thought the panel was all going to have to go change their panties, no joke.
The fact that they have no objectivity and wear their position on their sleeve should show that the MM is just another political tool.
One side is CNN, one side is FoxNews. They aren't even into "news" as much anymore. They only use actual news as fillers for their propaganda.
It's pretty sad.

News used to be slightly biased towards the left and they tried to have some integrity. Fox News came along and turned news into agitprop and made a lot of money in the process. The people in this country have demanded propaganda and that is what we get.

The establishment complicit, corporatist war mongering media wants a pliable candidate. Romney is their second pick behind the first pick of Obama. The last person the establishment wants to see elected is Paul, Johnson or any real libertarian candidate.

Howard Stern gets a lot of listeners for the same reason Fox News gets a lot of listeners. It is just a different demographic.
Modern news media teaches us one horrible truth about people; we prefer to be outraged than have to think, we would rather be pandered to than educated, and we would prefer remaining ignorant to changing our mind.
Fox News is a symptom of the disease.

A desire for the truth is a "different demographic"? That is a new one. You make it seem as if conservatives are a small minority. I believe you have it backwards. Liberals are 20% while conservatives are 40%. If anyone is a small minority it is liberals. The fact that they tend to out shout others only makes them seem bigger.

He said FoxNews is a symptom, as an example. He did not state or imply that CNN wasn't also a symptom.
err... well now he just implied it... But dindt out right say it. Saying CNN isn't as successful at it as FoxNews doesn't state that they aren't also a symptom, they just aren't as glaring an example of the symptom as is FoxNews...

Howard Stern gets listeners that listen just to get mad at him. Liberals watch Fox News to get mad.
Watching Fox News is like reading a Fist post. You are really only reading it to see something stupid and get mad at it.
Moral outrage is very addicting which is also the appeal to conservatives who watch Fox News. Ironic huh.

CNN is mostly irrelevant. They never committed to the agitprop angle that Fox News did and even now they are not really marketing themselves as such. Fox News did a canonball into the deep end while CNN may splash around in the kiddie pool.
One cornerstone of propaganda is agitation or intentionally making the viewers angry. CNN has never really been half as good as Fox News at doing this. That isn't to say they don't do it. Nancy Grace is a fine example of the role of agitation in getting people to tune in but it isn't about politics necessarily.
People like to get mad about politics and there is no doubt that Fox News is the clear leader these days.
