CNN : Still Trying To Emulate Fox News

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.
