CNN uses fake CA “College Republican” in Anti-McCain story
The idea that much of our nation’s media in their coverage of the Presidential election has exhibited a bias in favor of Senator Obama has been a hot topic of discussion as of late, even recently prompting the McCain campaign to release a video of quotes to illustrate their point.
In an exchange with CNN yesterday that began with the news network apparently fabricating a quote and attributing it to a supposed member of the USC College Republicans, California Students for McCain may have gotten the chance to witness this phenomenon first hand.
Yesterday morning, I awoke to concerning news – someone claiming to be linked to Students for McCain and the USC College Republicans had been quoted by CNN as stating that McCain does not appeal to youth, Republicans included, and will struggle to carry the youth vote on both sides of the aisle. The CNN story was one of the top headlines on their website, and even made the front page of Yahoo.
