Shock and awe. This will probably not be the last time CNN
shocks us, but it's worth noting that we ended up on their homepage
today to look for something specific, and wound up seeing Congressman
Ron Paul's face staring back at us. After seeing this morning's
paper at the grocery store this morning, and there being only
four candidates (Paul not included) on the front page; and after
our expose and boycott of CNN and MSNBC; stumbling on this was
the last thing we expected on Super Tuesday.

We had to take a screenshot of this, as it feels like some
kind of fluke, that Ron Paul is not only mentioned, and pictured,
on CNN, but by himself on the front page on Super Tuesday morning.
We're inclined to think some bigwig is going to freak out and
this is going to get pulled before we can even publish this
article.
Yet this somewhat - somewhat - softens our anger towards CNN
for the unequal coverage they gave candidates Ron Paul and former
Governor Mike Huckabee...although it still doesn't compensate
for the bias against Huckabee.
But then, when you read the article accompanying the headline,
Ron Paul's name is not even mentioned once. And then we were
less shocked.
