CNN Veteran Andrea Koppel Joins Left-Wing PR Firm
NewsBusters.org ^ | Matthew Sheffield

Posted on 02/09/2008 11:01:29 AM PST by RatherBiased.com

Andrea Koppel, who left CNN last July after 14 years as an on-air correspondent, has joined M+R Strategic Services, a Washington, DC-based public relations firm with a long list of left of center and solidly left-wing clients, as chief of its Communications Division. Amongst the clients listed on the firm's Web site: Environmental Defense, Earthjustice, Natural Resources Defense Council, Union of Concerned Scientists, Turner Foundation, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, People for the American Way, Campaign for America's Future, Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, National Organization of Women - New York State, NARAL Pro-Choice New York, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, as well as the radical left Center for Constitutional Rights and George Soros' Open Society Institute.

Koppel, the daughter of Ted Koppel, served as an international correspondent for CNN, then covered the State Department before spending her last months at CNN covering Capitol Hill. She proclaimed in the firm's press release that she wants to fight for “the voiceless in our society” as she embraced the “impressive roster of clients” and promised to help them “achieve their goals.”

That’s a shame because she’s attractive.

Beauty is skin deep - Liberal ugly ideals trumps looks all the way to the bone.

And to think, she's kept her political leanings a total secret for all this time! I had no idea whatever she leaned to the left! Kudos for doing such an outstanding job of keeping your personal feelings away from your job as an objective, unbiased reporter for CNN, Andrea!

This is about as surprising as the fact that the Sun rose in the East this morning.

There is a difference between CNN and a left wing PR firm?

Who knew!

You're kidding right? She worked on the Dukakis campaign 20 years ago.

When I think about who’s fighting for the voiceless, NARAL Pro-Choice is the first that comes to mind.

Just another in the MSM clique’.

I’ve suggested on several occasions that we should make a list of who is married/related to whom in the MSM.
They have a little circle that takes a story and passes it around.
They pick a few key words and adjectives and all repeat them ad nauseam.

It would be an eye opener to many.
