发帖数: 29846 | 1 CNN: Candy Crowley gave Obama more time during the debate because he talks
more slowly or something

Yesterday, we learned that despite all of Obama’s whining about not getting
equal time during Tuesday’s debate, he actually talked for four minutes
longer. And I joked that he needed that extra time for all his muttering and
stuttering and “Uh, uh, uhhhhhh.”
Well, guess what?
TMZ broke this story, which tells you something about the state of the news
industry, I suppose:
CNN’s Managing Editor sent an email around the office today, praising
Candy Crowley and trying to blunt criticism that she was unfair to Mitt
Romney.
The email — sent by Mark Whitaker and obtained by TMZ — is almost a
series of talking points to address Candy’s critics.
It’s what you’d expect: Crowley did a great job, her Benghazi “fact-check
” was fake but accurate, Romney’s just a big crybaby, etc.
And then the best part. Whitaker actually wrote down these words and sent
them to people who work for him:
“On why Obama got more time to speak, it should be noted that Candy and
her commission producers tried to keep it even but that Obama went on
longer largely because he speaks more slowly. We’re going to do a word
count to see whether, as in Denver, Romney actually got more words in even
if he talked for a shorter period of time.”
A word count. Seriously.
Once again, rules are rules unless they interfere with Obama’s ambitions. (
Right, Michelle?)
But hey, so what if Crowley constantly interrupted Romney, fact-checked him
with facts that weren’t actually facts, and gave Obama more time because he
’s such a precious angel with such big thoughts in his head that it takes
him a minute to get them all out? What does that have to do with anything?
Four more years! | b*****d
