CNN has their pre-set talking points in play, regardless of any speech.

After a really good, rousing, inspirational address at the DNC by the mayor of Newark, NJ, CNN anchor Dana Bash went right to the established CNN line - God and Jerusalem as primary issues in the Dem platform. And Blitzer is "concerned".

Both are issues worth noting, but to overlook this speech in its entirety to play to these two points isn't journalism by any means.

Geez.

1. Blitzer is concerned?

Well then, it's time to change everything just for him. After all, he's Wolf Blitzer.

3. What gets me, this looks to be pre-set take. i.e. "Here's the issues in the platform to note on air"

It's like the reverse of faux journalism when a interviewer asks a question, the politician responds with a set spin, regardless of the question and all move on. No follow up. That's what is accepted as journalism these days.

2. Leslie is very very concerned

Because I am not watching.

I suggest you do the same.

Cheers!

5. CSPAN is better than that crap channel. No airhead pundits and stupid anchors.
