All questions » Politics » US Election 2008 » melmel07 Will the "Video Portrait of Barack Hussein Obama" be featured on CNN by 6/4?
Voided
Good question, but because we won't be watching CNN all the time. Reposting it and just referring to the website will make settlement easier.
Background:
the video is very sensationalist and almost worthy of the title, "propaganda," and is quickly spreading through the internet. i have encountered blog entries/facebook groups twice in less than a week about it, so i am wondering if this will become a news story by the end of the day on June 3rd (23:59, PST). June 3rd is the last primary day except for Puerto Rico on the 7th.
while i doubt a journalist will put a piece on for the hell of it, i wil not be surprised if a Clinto supporter or someone in her campaign makes sure it gets exposure before the last primary day.

it is all over the net--blogs & facebook especially--but will it be a story on CNN or on the website (blogs are excluded--if it is talked about on a blog the question is settled as no) by June 3rd?
