		<description>Actually, this is a blog, published on CNNMoney.com. I don&#039;t see how you could say this is not CNN.

ex ped: Well, first of all, Chris, I was responding to your original comment, which was trying to paint me, and my blog, as not just a tool of the cable news network CNN, but as part of a broad liberal media conspiracy to denigrate all Republicans -- and Sarah Palin in particular. 

Here&#039;s what you wrote:

&lt;blockquote&gt;well, i don’t see why people are surprised about that palin comment….this is CNN, people. Just as those flaming conservatives on the FOX News Network hop on Obama at any chance, these liberal stations love to bash those Republicans. We should be used to this by now, come on. The media is just another tool for this country’s corrupt “leaders.”&lt;/blockquote&gt;

Second, I happen to be a independent contractor writing a blog for Fortune Magazine. Some of my posts are picked up by Fortune.com. Some are picked up by Yahoo Finance. Some are picked up by CNNMoney. If I&#039;m lucky, they get picked up by CNN.com. But I have never met Lou Dobbs or Larry King. And if I&#039;m supposed to be part of some Republican-bashing cabal, I never got the memo. </description>

		<description>HAAAHahahaaaa...so many panties in a twist over the Palin comment. To the matter at hand, the iPhone is a smartphone for dummies anyway. There are so many devices out there that are infinitely more capable than the iPhone...WinMo anybody? ATT is making those other phones even more attractive with their little Apple tax. Put it to you like this: I wouldn&#039;t take an iPhone if they were GIVING them away...which will probably happen soon.</description>

		<description>The Palin comment was pathetic.  I&#039;m a republican, but not a supporter of hers, but dragging anyone political into this article is just plain dumb.  With jobs dropping left and right, I&#039;d be a bit more careful if I were you.</description>

ex ped: There&#039;s a lot of anger out there in real America.</description>

		<description>Hey Elmer...  you&#039;re showing your lib colors...  Do you REALLY think that APPLE wants you to get a political cheap shot at Palin?  First of all, you&#039;re a lying sack... Her approval&#039;s high among her base... Second, what about -8bama? Loser



ex ped: It&#039;s Mr. Elmer-DeWitt to you, George. And did you really think I worked for Apple?</description>

		<description>The gratuituous did at Palin was unneeded. A much better comparison would have been to compare it to Obama&#039;s ratings! Down from  the mid 70&#039;s to hovering right at 50% all in 6 months! That&#039;s a drop there



Oh, and what does this have to do with the iphone? Nothing. Just like the comment about Sarah Palin.</description>
