CNN Anchor Attacks McCain

[red states rule]

Whenever John McCain was at odds with the Bush administration, the liberal media showered him with glowing press coverage

Now that it is election season, the liberal bias comes out and looks for any reason to attack

I am not a McCain fan, but is this REALLY an important NEWS story?


CNN's Sanchez Erupts Over McCain Not Rebuking Supporter Who Called Hillary a 'Bitch'

By Brent Baker | November 14, 2007 - 03:06 ET
Trying to create a scandal over Republican presidential candidate John McCain's failure to rebuke a woman supporter who called Hillary Clinton a “bitch,” CNN's Rick Sanchez led Tuesday night's Out in the Open with what he insisted was the “relevant and newsworthy” topic as he seriously asked: “Is John McCain done as a result of this?” He later speculated: “Is his campaign dead in the water?” Betraying the skew of those at CNN, Sanchez told guest Amy Holmes: “He could be in trouble for this from women, especially the ones that've been talking to me today in our newsroom who heard this and were offended.” Sanchez's spin matched that of left-wing bloggers, a story in Wednesday's New York Times revealed: “The clip began showing on Web sites like Salon.com, the liberal site TPM.com and others, with bloggers asking why Mr. McCain had not taken the questioner to task.”

Setting up the video, Sanchez haughtily intoned: “You're going to hear a McCain supporter. She refers to Hillary Clinton using really what is a horrible word that is used to do nothing but demean women. Well, at the time, it was a supporter who said that. It wasn't until later on, when we watched the whole tape, which is what you're about to see, that you see McCain's reaction, or lack thereof, that we decided that this is both relevant and newsworthy, and important information to this campaign.” An older woman at an event in South Carolina had asked: “How do we beat the bitch?” An appalled Sanchez complained: “He says 'that's an excellent question,' after somebody refers to Hillary Clinton as a B-word which rhymes with witch.”

The short November 14 New York Times article, “Question on Her Puts McCain in a Tight Spot,” recounted how at the Monday event in Hilton Head “Mr. McCain was obviously uncomfortable, trying to deflect the vitriol with humor and offering to give a translation. But he did not condemn the questioner, instead calling it an 'excellent question.'”

On screen throughout the CNN segment:
“AN EXCELLENT QUESTION”?
JOHN MCCAIN & THE B-WORD

To libs like MM, the liberal media hates Pres Bush as much as he does, their views are so far left like his - so to MM the liberal media seems perfectly reasonable and logical

So he sees no liberal bias, and anyone who says there is are right wing nutjobs who listen to Rush and watch Fox news

I don't know how things work in that head of yours, but in real life we try to conduct ourselves with dignity as well as try to respect others. Going around calling women "b*tches" in public is not only disrespectful, it's downright trashy. In my opinion it's way below our nation's top politicians to be blasé about using vulgar monikers in reference to their running mates. He should've atleast politely scolded the woman for using the word, even if he decided to go ahead and take her question seriously. And the anchor is right about one thing, most women probably are going to be offended by this if they hear about it and it is possible that they would be turned-off by McCain, especially if they're independents and don't feel passionately about any of the candidates.

CNN Anchor Lauds Liberal Senator’s Attack on GOP Member: ‘Good For Her’
By Scott Whitlock | March 21, 2007 - 16:13 ET
CNN anchor Don Lemon just couldn’t resist editorializing over liberal Senator Barbara Boxer’s slam against a conservative colleague, James Inhofe. During the 3pm EDT hour of the "CNN Newsroom" program, anchors Lemon and Brianna Keilar played a contentious exchange between Boxer and Inhofe in which the Democratic Senator chastised the Republican for interrupting former Vice President Al Gore’s global warming testimony. After the clip, this exchange followed:

Brianna Keilar: "Wow. All right. That was quite an exchange. And, you know, we were expecting something from Senator James Inhofe. He is a critic of global warming....We thought maybe it might be with him and former Senator, former Vice President Al Gore, but it ended up between him and Senator Barbara Boxer. She really got a stinger in there, I will say."

Don Lemon: [Laughs, then quietly] "Good for her."

CNN Anchor Derides Kidnapped Contractors as ‘Mercenaries’
By Scott Whitlock | November 17, 2006 - 15:38 ET
On Friday’s "American Morning," anchor Miles O’Brien characterized a group of kidnaped contractors, which included four Americans, as "mercenaries." The program, which airs on CNN, a network that has been severely criticized for airing terrorist footage of American soldiers being murdered, featured a segment on the activities and tasks of military contractors. Introducing reporter Ali Velshi, O’Brien said this:

Miles O'Brien: "In southern Iraq, more now on the search for four American security contractors, one Austrian, feared kidnaped. It happened in Nasiriyah where Iraqi troops have taken control of security, but there's reason to believe the contractors were stopped at a checkpoint manned by insurgents masquerading as the authorities. 'American Morning's Ali Velshi is here to give us some perspective. The big picture, you know, we call them contractors. In another era, we would call them mercenaries."

Ali Velshi: "That's right, they are paid armed forces. There are different kind of contractors in, in Iraq right now."

CNN Anchor: Democrats 'Weak On Defense, But That Was Ridiculous'
By Ken Shepherd | June 8, 2007 - 16:41 ET
Following a report on fisticuffs in the Alabama State Senate, CNN reporter T.J. Holmes cracked a joke about Sen. Lowell Barron (D) being on the receiving end of a punch to the face from Republican Senator Charles Bishop.

"The Democrat didn't hit him back. I mean, they say Democrats are weak on defense, but that was ridiculous," Holmes, co-anchoring the June 8 "CNN Newsroom" quipped.

"Oh, come on, T.J.!" co-anchor Betty Nguyen replied.

"That may not be the end of this incident, actually. The senator who was hit has not ruled out filing charges. And again, he was the Democrat. I'm just saying," Holmes added.

CNN Reporter on Nancy Pelosi as Speaker: ‘A Moment to Savor’
By Scott Whitlock | January 5, 2007 - 15:11 ET
CNN anchor Anderson Cooper began the Thursday edition of his "AC: 360" program by announcing that he intended to "keep them [the Democrats] honest." A few seconds later, reporter Dana Bash described Nancy Pelosi’s elevation to Speaker as "a moment to savor." For everyone? Ms. Bash elaborated, saying that portents of Democratic power could be seen everywhere, including the appearance of Hollywood celebrities and the sight of former House Speaker Dennis Hastert sitting in the back of the chamber:

Anderson Cooper: "Day one for lawmakers who are promising a whole host of legislation in their first 100 hours of work. We're here tonight to help keep them honest. So, throughout the hour, we will be looking at how Democrats hope to make law. First, though, CNN's Dana Bash on how they are making history."

Dana Bash: "A moment to savor -- Nancy Pelosi seized the gavel and, with it, power for the Democrats, an ambitious agenda, but, today, history, the first female Speaker, second in line to be president."

Nancy Pelosi: "For our daughters and our granddaughters, today we have broken the marble ceiling."

Now, the CNN correspondent would likely argue that she meant the first female Speaker is an occasion to appreciate. However, imagine this was 1994, would Bash describe Newt Gingrich being sworn in as the first Republican Speaker in 40 years as "a moment to savor?" It’s conceivable the term would have been used, but likely only with the qualifier that such a moment would be relished by Republicans. Is CNN unaware of the fact that half the county is dreading, not gleefully anticipating, a Pelosi Speakership? Perhaps Dana Bash has less credibility on this subject, given her recent characterization of incoming Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as being an iPod-loving, "People" magazine-reading everyman.

There's a little something called the First Amendment that allows the woman in question to use the word bitch. I don't see Dem leaders rebuking people when they refer to the president as a "liar".

CNN is very liberal biased, you're just too blind to see that no doubt. Your above statement that "he IS a liar" is proof of that. You libs just blindly believe the lies you've told yourselves over the years until you actually believe it. Bush didn't "lie" to the country, he simply had faulty information at worst. To lie you have to knowingly have correct information and give out different(false) information. None of that has been proven to have happened. I'm not a Bush fan but to suggest he KNEW for a fact that Iraq had no WMDs at all but told everyone that they did, is slanderous and completely false.

CNN's Sanchez Defends Hit on McCain Over 'Bitch' as Kurtz Chastises Sanchez
By Brent Baker | November 15, 2007 - 03:45 ET
A night after CNN host Rick Sanchez decided to try to create a scandal over John McCain's failure to rebuke a supporter who referred to Hillary Clinton as a “bitch,” Sanchez on Wednesday declared McCain “should have distanced himself” from the remark and, since he didn't, the incident was newsworthy; McCain castigated CNN for its “biased reporting” and CNN's own media critic, Howard Kurtz agreed “his campaign has a point. That little incident was pretty badly hyped by Rick Sanchez.” ABC got into the hype too as anchor Charles Gibson introduced a story on “another bit of controversy in the presidential race” which “involves the reaction of Senator John McCain when a lady at a town meeting asked him a question that contained a derogatory reference to Hillary Clinton.”

On CNN's The Situation Room, Brian Todd informed viewers how on “Tuesday evening CNN anchor Rick Sanchez takes about six minutes at the very top of his prime time show, Out in the Open, raising questions about why Senator McCain didn't immediately chastise the woman for insulting Mrs. Clinton like that.” Later, on Out in the Open, Sanchez whined about how in criticizing CNN's news judgment, McCain is “shooting the messenger, blaming me personally and CNN for his present plight.” Sanchez laid bare his agenda as he excoriated McCain for not acting as Sanchez wanted: “His staff has put out several statements today. None of them offers an apology to women in general or to Hillary Clinton specifically.”
