CNN: The Last Name In News

Contentions ^ | 11.29.2007 | John Podhoretz

If CNN had been conscious about this, and had therefore been prudent about checking out the identities and preferences of the video questioners it had selected, it would have avoided plunging itself into a days-long spiral of embarrassment about the network’s lack of professionalism, absence of care, and spiraling unseriousness.

Does Mr. Podhoretz actually believe that anyone at CNN is experiencing feelings of embarrassment over this? Does he also think that the departing ghosts of suicide-belt bombers over in the middle east experience a feeling of embarrassment at the way their corporial head pops up and then falls with a thud, rolling around like an unseemly cartoon among the gore of their fallen victims? It's about as likely, and for a similar reason.

He's right about CNN, but I also think that for much the same reasons, Podhoretz should disclose in the very first paragraph of any piece he writes that he's one of the perverts who is working for and advising Rudy.

I don't think any Rudy supporter is very happy about the way things have been going in the last couple of days.

Thanks for the link.

Yes, questions on the Confederate flag and the Bible are issues that define the Republican Party.

What a hatchet job!

[Wurlitzer]

In reality, I would rather see both sides of the aisle handle questions from their opponents. Stack the Communist (er: Democrats) debate with people from the right and the GOP debates with the enemy of our country from the left and sprinkle some actual Conservatives just to make sure we are not supporting a group of RINOs.

If c.n.n. were in paper form I’d leave it next to the toilet to use as it should be.
