CNN Guest Accuses Network of Waging 'War on Republicans'

Conservative columnist Rich Galen lampooned CNN for its liberal bias during his appearance on Monday's The Situation Room. During the bottom of the 4 p.m. hour, anchor Wolf Blitzer threw water on right-wing claims that President Obama is waging a "war on religion," and Galen called him out for one-sided coverage of the matter.

GOP candidate Rick Perry had recently produced a campaign ad accusing Obama of running a "war on religion." Blitzer, noting the accusation, played a moving montage of performances from Sunday's "Christmas in Washington" pageant, attended by the President, and then asked how Obama could be considered anti-Christmas if he had attended such a public display.

Galen called his bluff as he mocked the lengths CNN was willing to go to defend Obama. "CNN just couldn't be more on one side of this thing," he attested while laughing. Galen did relent to Blitzer's point that CNN had given Perry a voice by playing his campaign ad, but continued to insist that the network was biased.

Later on, Blitzer kept defending Obama as he told Galen to watch the full hour of the Christmas pageant and "You'll see if this President has a war on religion." Galen responded that "CNN has a war on Republicans is the issue."

A transcript of the segment, which aired on December 12 at 4:41 p.m. EST, is as follows:

It’s not a war on EVERY religion, just the ones who do not follow the Koran.

Conservative columnist Rich Galen lampooned CNN....

^^^
I am glad to see someone correcting Commie News Network, but I see nothing here that appears to be a lampoon. Am I missing something?

Exaclty right. Has CNN ever done a story about a Republican, when attacked, where they went out to prove through video and interviews that that attack was wrong and unfair?

Heh! Hardly.

That they’d actually do this for Obama, and other democrats (and we’ve seen their defensive stories and comments CONSTANTLY) proves the point on it’s own.

BIAS.

Propaganda.

CNN (and ABCCBSNBCNYTWASHPOSTLATIMES...)
