CNN: Yet more trashy journalism

Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 11:47 AM by sidwill
Wolf "gag me with a spoon" Blitzer again exhibited CNN's absolute deviation from actual journalism via the following action this morning.

While interviewing Mitt "Magic Undies" Romney, he attempted to create the false impression that the Democratic cnadidates had decided that Mcain would be the Republican nominee, he did this to lob a softball question to Romney.

To do this he took tape from the Democratic debates spliced to show each candidate in turn calling the R race for Mcain, in Obama and Edwards case they said mcain appeared to be the leader though Obams comment was cut off after he said "Mcain AND <snip>" in Hillary's case it was even worse with Hillary saying that the leader was "Mcain and <cut audio> she obviously mouths the words "Mitt Romney".

Why did CNN feel the need to create this false premise simply to throw der mittenfurher a lob question?

I hope Stewart or Media Matters catches this as well and shoves it back down CNN's throat.
