    The Founding Bloggers go behind the scenes of CNN’s Susan Roesgen’s biased performance yesterday – Adult Language Warning

    Yesterday CNN reporter Susan Roesgen ended an interview at the Chicago Tea party event and called the event “anti-government, “anti-CNN and “not really family viewing.”

    But, the above video shows the rest of the story as she is confronted by the Tea Party activists after her interview.

    Sarah Palin Watch: The Dishonesty of CNN

    Sarah Palin interviewed on CNN’s The Situation Room, October 21, 2008

    Wow! Talk about DISHONEST journalism. CNN takes the prize today after they deliberately distort a quote from Byron York of National Review.

    The full quote from Byron York:

    Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it’s sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt, backward, or — or, well, all of the above. Palin, the governor of Alaska, has faced more criticism than any vice-presidential candidate since 1988, when Democrats and the press tore into Dan Quayle. In fact, Palin may have it even worse than Quayle, since she’s taking flak not only from Democrats and the press but from some conservative opinion leaders as well….

    Yes, there are legitimate concerns about Palin’s lack of experience. Who wouldn’t, at the very least, wish that she had more time in the governor’s office on her résumé? But a look at Palin’s 20 months in power, along with interviews with people who worked with her, shows her to be a serious executive, a governor who picked important things to do and got them done — and who didn’t just stumble into an 80 percent job-approval rating.

    Uhhhhh the context CNN?

    Here is what CNN reporter Drew Griffin said:

    “The press has been pretty hard on you, the Democrats have been pretty hard on you, but also some conservatives have been pretty hard on you as well. The National Review had a story saying that, you know, I can’t tell if Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid, unqualified, corrupt or all of the above.”

    Flap agrees with Hugh Hewitt in that Drew Griffin and his producer(s) at CNN should be fired but that won’t happen and Flap doubts they will EVEN apologize.

    Who says there is NO media bias?

    Remember the history of Soledad O’Brien. She left the Weekend Today Show to join CNN. You know, NBC and NBC News – ALL LEFT ALL Of THE TIME. But O’Brien’s false claims about Sarah Palin at CNN have been egregious.

    O’Brien drew criticism from FactCheck.org on September 8, 2008, for making a false assertion during an interview with a McCain campaign spokesperson, claiming that vice presidential candidate Palin, as the governor in Alaska, had slashed the special education budget by 62%,[12][13] when, in fact, she had increased it.[14][15][16] O’Brien was also criticized for these claims by other sources,[17][18][19][20][21] including the McCain/Palin campaign.[22]O’Brien later made another false claim, which was cited as an example of media bias in CNN, when she polled the 32 ‘persuadable’ voters by asking them to indicate, by a show of hands, who they thought won the vice-presidential debate of 2008. O’Brien called the vote an “overwhelming” victory for Biden, however the actual result was reportedly “11 or 12 for Palin, 12 or 13 for Biden (some people are hard to see)”. [23]

    And, the same goes for Campbell Brown of CNN. She was a former co-anchor of NBC’s Weekend Today and the daughter of a former Louisiana Democrat State Senator, Secretary of State and Insurance Commissioner.

    NBC and CNN are unabashed left-wing homes for BIASED journalists.

    So, what else is new?
