So, now the New York Times is questioning CNN, perhaps they should ask CNN to clarify what they mean by past.
A CNN executive conceded that the cable channel should have more fully disclosed Mr. Carville’s past and that it was discussing how to handle such situations.
In February he pens a fund raising letter in which he talks about having her back. He was invoked in the Draft Hillary movement, pronouncing her the electable Democrat. In January he was on Good Morning America slamming journalists for not getting Hillary's sense of humor. In July of 06 he penned a WaPo column, The Power Of Hillary, with a top Hillary adviser, Mark Penn, making the argument that Hillary can win a General election.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. If CNN wants to retain any shred of credibility, Carville cannot be permitted to do commentary on the Presidential race, full disclosure, or not.
“Let’s show these attack dogs what we’re made of,” he wrote. “Our ‘One Week, One Million’ campaign will send a clear message: Hillary won’t back down, and we’ve got her back.”


I had more credibility than CNN. Just saying...

Gee, I thought CNN's coverage was totally fair.

I hate to defend CNN but there is no difference between them and ABC/CBS/NBC/PBS/NPR/NYT/WaPo/etc. except that CNN was really clumsy in their open bias. They are all shills for the Democrats in general and Hillary in particular.

Joe Isuzu has more credibility than CNN. So, also, does Baron Munchausen. And Tommy Flannagan (Jon Lovitz, the compulsive liar on SNL), too.

Jenny Bea sums up all CNN is up to nicely:

For a fraulein, she is doing a right bang-up job.
Even "mein alte Kamerad", Herr Goebbels, says her PR team at CNN is to die for.

Yesterday on NPR, the swarmy Scott Simon was explaining to the always reliably liberal,Dan Schorr that NPR was deeply apologetic to Mrs Clinton about a false story they reported, that she failed to leave a tip at a restaurant, campaign stop.
In case you missed it, these guys were close to tears as they subjected themselves to their own criticisms. It reminded me of stories coming out of The People's Republic of China in the seventies of "capitalist roaders" publically announcing their sins to the great proletariet.
Liberals are just very funny people.

If you rednecks want your 'news' turn on Fox. Perhaps Bill Frist may have reincarnated Terry Schiavo or Rick Santorum found those pesky WMDs or beloved Natalee has been found running for office in Paraguay. The 24%er network has all kinds of things geared towards you.

Now Boob, you know that CNN makes Fox news look as objective as a phone book.

Too many cooks,
trying to spice up a chunk of meat that has gone bad.
I don't blame HRC, but the cult of personality that she inspires is disgusting. So many bootlickers, trying to please her...
and now Sid Blumenthal-the same one who tried the 'Monica was a stalker'-returns.
Do you think anyone around her has the guts to tell her that her comsmetic surgery/enhancement makes her look like a freak?
Sid: Don't worry Hillary, they're just jealous.

Anecdotally-
I know three people, in love with WJC. When asked, in March, who they would vote for, their support was unwavering and followed the same logic-
electing Hillary will be like putting Bill back in office.
Over the past month, their view has shifted-too much Hil,not enough Bill. All three were sympathetic to Obama, young and vibrant, great speaker, but saw little chance of him getting elected.
one issued a caveat-'if they go after Obama, they lose my vote'-based on the idea that a leader doesn't have to resort to smearing the second place guy, until they become relevant.
#two-has become disenchanted with the biased favors that have been bestowed upon hrc,-'I want to pick the nominee, not have the press do it for me'
#three-a female-WJC is being kept away-as an outsider-by hrc's handlers. Chelsea looks like she is being forced to attend the 'family' moments. Kids usually have a parent they like, and one they dislike. Chelsea hates her mom, who is probably blackmailing her into appearring.

So, mark, are these alleged liberals switching parties to vote for the fascist cross-dresser or the Mormon?

Heh.
If those liberals were really wising up enough to break camp and leave the Dhimmicrat Plantation... they will vote for Fred! Thompson, or perhaps even Mike Huckabee.
