“Apparently CNN, having abandoned any effort to appear impartial, is now selling T-shirts that commemorate Obama’s newborn presidency,” reader Fred Dardick wrote in a Canada Free Press (CFP) letter to the editor yesterday. CNN T-shirts include slogans such as “Obama raises hand, lifts a nation” and “Obama: It’s time to remake America”. “How is it possible for a major news organization to get away with this?” asks Dardick. “This is anti-American to the core as far as I am concerned. CNN may as well be considered an extension of the apparently never ending Obama campaign.” CFP would answer Dardick’s question in this way: Major television networks started moving away from the delivery of the news long before Senator Barack Obama appeared on the scene. In those days, the news was quickly morphing into--”Entertainment”. During the presidential election campaign, television networks were joined by members of the print media, who jumped into the tank with Obama paving the way for the reality: “2008 the Year the Mainstream Media Died”. CNN is not only cashing in on the sales of the T-shirts, it provides tangible proof that “The News is Propaganda”.
