The Liberal Version of Fair and Balanced
After CNN was caught planting softball questions ("Diamonds or Pearls") to Hillary Clinton in the democrat debates, they have been caught again. This time, planting hardball questions in the Republican debates.
Paid Clinton supporters planted by CNN, asked tough questions of the GOP panel. Retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, co-chairman of Clinton's National Military Veterans group was told to ask a question about homosexuals in the military. A 20 year old student from Texas asked, "If a woman obtains an abortion anyway, what should she be charged with and what should her punishment be? What about the doctor who performs the abortion?"
CNN (Clinton News Network?) defended its screening. CNN's political director, Sam Feist, said, "We're focused on the questions, not the questioners." Translation: CNN plants the questions, if they can't find the questions they want asked.
Interestingly, others outside CNN were able to identify Clinton aides as the questioners, but the substantial resources of CNN were not. Hillary's campaign spokesman said that Kerr "is not a campaign employee and was not acting on behalf of the campaign." Let's see, the co-chairman of Clinton's National Military Veterans group was not working on behalf of Hillary's campaign. Maybe the group works on Bill's behalf. You see, Hillary wants to be referred to as "Clinton," not "Hillary." Unless she's trying to deflect blame, then "Clinton" is Bill. Now, surely Bill is working on the behalf of Hillary's campaign. However, in the twisted logic of the Clintons, Kerr isn't working on behalf of Hillary's campaign, even though, he is campaigning for her. Huh?
The fact is that CNN is in the political bed of Hillary Clinton. They think that having Hillary win the White House in 2008 will somehow propel the disgraced news network to become popular. Never mind the fact that Fox News eclipsed CNN while Bill was president.
Maybe CNN hopes that Hillary will take over the media like Venezuela's dictator Hugo Chavez did. Don't put it past Hillary.
