>>In all fairness I would say that there were several dozen people out of the few
thousand that were booing while he spoke. We all heard it. Hey if you're gonna
talk shit, be prepared to get some thrown back. That was expected. What I
didn't expect was how CNN ran the story the next day. Every 15 minutes they
showed the speech with the volume of the booing almost louder than the speech.
I had videotaped the Oscars and I compared the two. CNN definitely turned up
the volume of the hecklers and you could specifically hear one guy. It was
almost like they stuck microphones on the hecklers before the show.

>>CNN made it look like he got booed off the stage when in fact the large majority
of the audience gave him plenty of adulation. For Pete's sake, if CNN can't
even cover the Academy Awards without showing bias, how the hell are we to
believe what they show us from the Middle East? Obviously I must be living in
some kind of fantasy world. I'm going back to getting all my news from the Daily
Show with Jon Stewart. At least I can laugh with the news instead of at it.
Forever rambling,
Fat Mike



If anyone watched both can they confirm or deny this?
