CNN contradicting itself on Biden/taxing health insurance.
Edited on Mon Jun-15-09 07:12 AM by old mark
CaNNt is stating that VP Biden would not rule out taxing health insurance - they are saying this both on their crawler and via Robin on HLN. They then played a clip from his appearance on Meet The Press where he says that taxing health insurance is absolutely not an option. Then their crawler states - Biden says taxing health insurance not an option, followed by Bidenwould not rule out taxing health insurance.

Do they even bother to read their own shit? This has been cycling since he appeared on MTP on Sunday.

If they have editors or such, I think they are all smoking too much pot.

I thought they did well on Iran this weekend, but they are hopeless today.

Robin's hair and makeup did look fabulous, however...

1. It's easy - All you have to do is leave a word out
See:

health insurance is absolutely not an option

health insurance is absolutely an option

That is how easy it is for them.

2. Let me try
"CNN is a quality news outlet."

"CNN is not a quality news outlet."


Hey, you're right! And I know which sentence more accurately reflects my feeling on the matter...

3. Do either of you work for CNN? Come on, it would not be fair to
have professional news benders - I mean editors - commenting on this important issue.

CNN must subscribe to the Sarah Palin school of journalism....
