Hiya Benj. You noted:

Won’t say “fair” because the reporting is too shallow to earn that value word.

I think that’s a great comment. Props for that.

I’ve now seen the story how re O kicked Alice Palmer off the ballot a half-dozen times on CNN… So what am I NOT seeing re CNN?

So that’s it? They’ve brought up one questionable moment? What about how he got that Ryan guy (was that his name?) to drop out of the Senate race? Oh and a million others. C’mon, there’s a rat’s maze of stories about O that beg exploring and they ain’t touching.

Anyway, beyond that I never watch CNN so I couldn’t tell ya. I never watch TV news in general. My sense of the media is largely via the Internet and the presence of the old guard flooding the zone: AP, NYT, Time, Newsweek, etc.
