On an interview show called “Give and Take,” hosted by sometime TV pundit Julie Menin, CNN’s Campbell Brown patted herself and her network on the back for being “the only one that is still doing journalism” in cable land.
Menin asked Brown if she felt odd being a “political independent” in this world of cable pundits and lamented that journalism seems to be scant these days. Menin told Brown that at one time, “obviously journalists were independent.” Brown replied by assuming the truth of that “independence” and stated that she and CNN are the only ones “doing journalism” any more.
Menin’s odd assumption, though, that journalists are “political independents” is interesting because of the pervasive left-wing bias that is seen throughout the business. Does Menin think “independent” just means free of conservative ideology but otherwise free to be a liberal?
It is also amusing that Brown imagines that there is no “journalism” going on at either MSNBC or Fox News. Sure both have plenty of opinion shows, and yes they’ve both aimed at an ideologically self-identified audience, but both still do common journalism, whether Brown approves of the final product or not.

oh wait... she was serious?
I lol’d.
Sure it is .... YELLOW Journalism!!!
The keep digging until they find their TALKING POINTS!!!
ummm ... CNN ...Communist News Network
where to end??
she’s a joke
the only channel i think that comes close to being non-partisan is cspan, as its so hard to tell who they support. Of course, if I was to make a wild guess, I would guess they’re liberals, but you can’t really tell just by watching them ask question and respond to questions
Brown replied by assuming the truth of that “independence” and stated that she and CNN are the only ones “doing journalism” any more.
So Brown thinks the former Clinton News Netwroknow transfromed into the Communist News network is doing journalism?
Is this one of those word chasnge things like gay used to mean happy now it means homo?
Perchance, is Campbell’s contract with CNN up for renewal?
She clarified: “I mean, some here are doing it - like Lou Dobbs. I’m just an eye-candy harridan.”
I think a person who was named after a kind of soup should have her opinions rejected out of hand.
