Jesse Ventura wants you to vote for Gary Johnson - CNN edits it out.

http://dailycaller.com/2012/06/14/jesse-ventura-wants-you-to-vote-for-gary-johnson-cnn-edits-it-out/

In a segment Tuesday on CNN’s ‘Starting Point’ with Christine Romans, former wrestler and governor Jesse Ventura urged voters to consider Libertarian Presidential Candidate Gary Johnson — but CNN edited that piece of the interview out of the internet coverage of the story.

WOW. CNN does exactly what Ventura said the MSM would do and try and cover up any option other than DEM/Repub.
 
You would think CNN would want their miniscule conservative audience to vote for libertarian over republican as it would help Obama.

Why are you surprised?

Fox, CNN, CNBC etc have nothing to do with "news".

They are "Entertainment Organizations" as said by the U.S. Supreme Court a few years ago.

They can lie to your face and it is protected as free speech.

If you want real news you have to rely on me.
 
Have you listened to Jesse Ventura lately? He always comes off as an extremely paranoid conspiracy theorist. My only complaint is that people still put a microphone in front of him. He doesn't do anyone any good when he talks. Hell, by silencing Ventura they probably help Gary Johnson a bit.
 
Thank goodness for CNN. Gary Johnson is pretty much my ideal Presidential candidate so I really don't need to hear (other?) nut jobs endorsing him.

Exactly. I haven't taken the time to really look at Gary Johnson's platform I admit. But Jesse Ventura supporting you doesn't do anything to up your credibility. I'm sure Obama wishes he could shut Bill Ayers up and Romney should wish that Donald Trump would be quiet but for some reason instead has him host fund raisers...
 
First, why CNN even interviewed Jesse is a mystery. Maybe Jesse Ventura may have been newsworthy a decade ago, but he has since blown all his credibility at least eight years ago and is a political nobody now.

However Jesse is now writing a book he is trying to promote, and CNN generously donated gave Jesse a soap box, some time, and a cable audience to make his case. In such deals, there is some legal agreement both sides sign, to govern what CNN may and may not say and what Jesse may or may not say. And since we are not privy to the details of that contract, how can we prejudge what CNN can and can't do? And if one of the clauses of the contract required Jesse to not endorse any political candidates in the 2012 elections, and then Jesse turned around and endorsed Ron Johnson. It would have been perfectly right for CNN to act in that manner to mitigate damage. Because CNN is not supposed to endorse candidate now running for public office and instead report political news.
 
I agree about venture being a nutjob, but in the context of the interview, it made sense why he brought up GJ.
It is curious, since the Internet is exactly where they can most cheaply include more content. Although the video part is bandwidth intensive and might have been edited for length, you'd think they'd at least leave the reference in the print transcript.

I work for the Internet arm of an extremely large media organization and I can lend that clips meant for the Web still tend to get edited as short as possible - not to save storage space but to try to not run out a viewer's patience, which is infamously short.

Thats right, you really care about free speach. So much so that you denounce anyone elses views and tell us the only reliable source is you, an unchecked and unmonitored source.............

.

CNBC has great news coverage, while providing entertainment to a degree. They are hand's down the best financial network out there. I only watch Sqwuack Box in the morning. Best Greece/Euro coverage, best analysis of weekly reports, best reporting of major financial events. I tried Fox Business a couple times, but even being a Fox News fan, I couldn't bear their coverage.

Which is incredibly irritating. You have to watch a twenty to thirty second commercial in which you have absolutely no interest to watch a clip that's been edited to thirty to one hundred twenty seconds. That's why I almost never watch clips - I can read the transcript and be gone before the actual clip even loads. Still, no reason to cut down the print version, unless you're pushing an agenda (though I can't imagine why CNN would be particularly anti-Johnson) or you're actively courting slow reading stupid people with short attention spans.

Heh heh heh heh I said "Johnson".

I can see your point of view but Is Jesse paranoid for asking questions about things going on in America . Like those fema camps . Why they designed to keep people in and not out . That a good question . He ask many good questions is this being paranoid . Not likely . Whats more likely true is the sheeple are parnoid and in denial . Rude awakening coming to those still asleep. Is it paranoid to look at the last 3 years and say everthing is as its always been . LOL REALLY. A few more tempest in USA will change many many minds.
