CNN's Roberts Refers to Democrats as 'We'
newsbusters.org ^ | September 12, 2008 | Noel Sheppard

It now makes more sense why CNN's John Roberts didn't want to talk about liberal media bias with NewsBusters at the Republican National Convention last week, for while discussing the state of the presidential campaign with former Clinton administration advisor Paul Begala Friday morning, Roberts referred to Democrats as "we." [audio here]

I kid you not.

At 6:57 AM, after showing a video of Barack Obama saying, "I don't care what they say about me, but I love this country too much to let them take over another election with lies and phony outrage and Swift Boat politics. Enough is enough," Roberts said to his guest (video embedded right, downloadable video available here, file photo):

You know, this almost looks like what happened in 2004 where the Bush campaign was very, very good at defining John Kerry in their own terms, and he was on the defensive, and he was always trying to fight back against them. Do we risk, or does the Democratic Party here risk Barack Obama becoming John Kerry II?

Do we risk?

Wow. Thanks for telling us what we already knew, John.

I wish that the MSM would simply be honest about their biases so there would be no question.

When you listen to Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, etc. you know you are getting a conservative viewpoint on the issues of the day. Granted, they are commentators/talk show hosts, not so-called “hard news” reporters, but a little truth in advertising would be good.

Fire John Roberts. He is a democrat operative. He is not a “pundit”. He is supposed to be a reporter, even though I can’t find anyone on CNN that does not have an agenda going back to Bobbie frikkin Batista.

Roberts is from Canada making his comment even more out of place than first presumed.

You know what, every single conservative who appears as a guest on TV from this day forward should start shoving it in their face about being democrats and biased. We’ve taken it since TV began. I see the media and the democrats spouting the same talking points every day. This should be our talking point, make them squirm first, then answer their slanted questions, and point out that they’re slanted before they answer.

LOL! I like some of the youtube comments about Roberts. What a jerk! He thought he was going to replace Rather and lost out to a bigger airhead than he is.
