On Wednesday's Rick's List, CNN's Rick Sanchez twice highlighted how "several Republicans want to keep the cap on what oil companies pay for spills at $75 million" and how apparently that's about "how much they [oil companies] spend on campaign contributions to politicians each year," but omitted that President Obama was the top recipient of money from BP during the 2008 election cycle.

This is responsible journalism just like Mr Sanchez was a responsible driver several years ago. Know the source and evaluate the opinions accordingly.

If guess if I get drunk at a Dolphins game and run over a guy and kill him, leave the scene of the accident, and eat a ton of cuban sandwiches, I could get a gig on CNN too.

He knows, all too well. Media bias is as much as what's not reported as is what is reported and how it's reported.

I see it all of the time.

Wait, you mean CNN lies?

Thank God we can still trust the rest of the MSM. /SARCASM

Little Ricky needs to make a list comparing the number of Republicans who ran over and killed someone while driving drunk to the number of morons working for CNN who did it. Stuff it Sanchez!

It's not just BP where Barack Obama topped their donation list in 2008... Barack Obama topped the donations of ExxonMobil and Chevron. A veritable clean sweep of the US oil corporations!

After his slander of Rush Limbaugh, this guy should have been drummed out of the journalism business. CNN has no shame.

You might very well be their kind of guy!

"Someone tweet him and remind him."

Dead wood doesn't resonate. There's no one home.
