CNN's acquisition of Campbell Brown reminds me of how Fox News employs Carl Cameron. As you may know, his wife worked for the Bush campaign, serving in a high-up role in Texas. You can see that Cameron and Bush are quite chummy over it. Now we have CNN's new anchor Campbell Brown, who's husband is a GOP operative. Now one might say, you don't know that she's biased just because her husband works for the GOP, so why not take a look at her very first week at the network.
From America Blog:
The wife of Dan Senor, who served as a spokesperson for Bush in Iraq, is now working for CNN. Normally, who a reporter's spouse wouldn't and shouldn't matter. And, it wouldn't if Campbell Brown didn't show an obvious bias. Last night, in her first week on the job, she attacked MoveOn:During the November 28 CNN special Campaign Killers: Why Do Negative Ads Work?, CNN anchor Campbell Brown said: "General David Petraeus made his reputation taking on insurgents in Iraq. But when he came to Capitol Hill in September, he was confronted by American insurgents, a liberal anti-war group called MoveOn.org."Seriously, comparing MoveOn to insurgents is beyond the pale. That is such an obviously loaded term. Campbell Brown showed a clear bias, plain and simple.
How the hell is an insurgent who fights with guns, IED's and other weapons anything like one of the millions of MoveOn supporters? MoveOn is a political organization that fights against the tyranny of the Bush Adminstration. For a reporter, anchor or any other journalist to compare them to insurgents. Giuliani talks about hit jobs, but this is one hell of a hit piece right here.
