Intern finds Obama sign vigil

Posted: 01:24 PM ET

What's up, everybody? I'm Corey Enlow and I'll be working as the intern for "News To Me" this fall. I thought I'd go ahead and introduce myself (I have been here for a month already, after all) and just say I feel privileged to be working here. The whole experience of coming to CNN Center every other day has felt a bit surreal, and I’m still getting used to the position.

If anybody's interested, I’m a 23 year old Mass Communications major and a senior at the University of West Georgia. I’ll be graduating (finally) this December.

I'm pretty excited because my first story idea will be in the show this coming weekend: the Obama sign kid. Since starting this internship, my friends and family have been helping me out by sending me videos and story ideas for the show. It was my Mom in fact who showed me an article in the Wall Street Journal about an online community, which watches vigilantly for the thief who has been stealing the Obama/Biden signs from the yard of Preston Fosback. I thought, "SCORE! This would be perfect for the show," and everyone on the show agreed.

I'll get back to transcribing Eric’s interview (which is not fun) with an L.A. Times reporter about internet hoaxes that get out of control for an upcoming show and let you get back to doing whatever you’re doing (which I hope is fun). I’m looking forward to contributing more to this blog and to "News To Me" in the future.

Sincerely,

CNN should report the News. I agree with the previous that CNN seems to be so unfare to McCain. It's not racial either. It is the fact that there has not been any news firm that will get the true answers "FACTS" about Obama, his affiliation, his citizenship (dual), his patriotism. All are part of choosing a President. Where was he actually born? Lot's of questions. Take a different approach here. If Obama has nothing to hide, then these issues should be put to rest once and for all. Bottom line, Obama came from nowhere.

Great piece! I look forward to reading more!

Hopefully, you can bring some fairness and balance to that which is reported and emphasized politically at CNN...at the very least, we know you'll be bringing things up that are "interesting". Keep up the good work. Great job.

Corey,

Slunds like fun. Glad you finally made it and congrats on the upcoming graduation.

Great job, Corey! Make us proud!

Myna   October 27th, 2008 2:57 pm ET

Corey, this is a great story idea. Every citizen has the right to support the candidate of their choice.
