Should CNN cede its trademark as the Most Trusted Name in News to the Huffington Post?
Despite poor ratings, the cable news network that Ted Turner founded in 1980 has long prided itself on journalistic integrity. But media insiders say CNN's continued ties to lobbyists and special-interest consultants - whom it bills as political analysts - now threaten its sterling reputation. And one source says the network's parent company, Time Warner, is paying close attention to the matter.
Two names that repeatedly come up are Hilary Rosen, a former recording-industry lobbyist who was hired to be a D.C. navigator for public relations consulting firm The Brunswick Group, and Alex Castellanos, a founder of public-affairs PR firm Purple Strategies. As political blogger Greg Sargent reported in The Plumline Monday, BP has retained the services of Rosen, a Democrat, who has farmed out some of the work to her fellow CNN talking head Castellanos, a Republican.......
Hilary Rosen has reportedly done work for oil giant BP but is also employed by CNN.
Looks like she’s done a bit of work with the snack food industry too.
Amazing how many of them have further connections with Soros, Rahm, Tony Podesta, etc. =.=
CNN, the most BUSTED name in news.
