Below is a video of a rather impressive take down of the White House and its war on FOX from CNN’s Campbell Brown. Toward the end of the clip Ms. Brown claims that CNN is different from FOX and MSNBC, and that CNN is focused on “journalism.” I can live with that assessment for the most part, however someone needs to get that memo to Wolf “Fact Check SNL” Blitzer, David Gergen, and Roland Martin.
Watch the video here:
What I find very interesting in the clip is that she refers to FOX’s bias being only in “primetime”. Look closely. She almost leaves it out the first time. The fact that CNN refers to the bias of Hannity and company, leaving out FOX’s straight news division, tells me that a lot of horse trading is going on behind the scenes in New York.
Over at The Huffington Post, Matt Osborne countered with the following:
When CNN’s Campbell Brown played the MSNBC card against Valerie Jarrett, she was engaging in the fallacy of false equivalence. Faux Noise is all slant, all the time, while MSNBC is absolutely not a liberal mirror-image. The slant is not equal, nor do the two channels offset like penalties in a football game. Brown’s comparison is a smear.
Matt, keep telling yourself that if it eases the pain.
