A CNN reporter on "Charlie Rose" expressing an obviously biased opinion in an "opinion" setting is ok with me: This just demonstrates these peoples' bias.

What is more insidious is the sort of thing that happens on "The Evening News", etc., all the way down to local newscasts, which are supposedly "news" and not opinion. Just in the last couple days, of the maybe 40 minutes total news that I have watched, several examples occurred, of which two are really insidious, yet glaring:

First were the reported comments by Bill Clinton, where he said (paraphrasal) initially that Hillary "frequently" falls, then stammered, backed up and said "rarely". This was not just edited out of the video, it was edited out of the written transcript (but CBS slipped up and left it on their website version of the video, plus the Morning Show version.)

Then there were the Colin Powell e-mail comments about Hillary:

"I would rather not have to vote for her, although she is a friend I respect," he writes in the email dated July 26, 2014. "A 70-year-old person with a long track record, unbridled ambition, greedy, not transformational, with a husband still dicking bimbos at home)."

I happened to see the report on CBS, where "with a husband still dicking bimbos at home)." was conveniently left off the e-mail transcript being shown.

Also, no one seems to be asking Powell why he chooses friends such as this to "respect" (???), or, when he criticizes Trump, just how closely he knows Trump. (Trump could pounce on this.) Nor is anyone asking, since Powell is clearly disgusted with Bill, what that last part, that Bill still gets away with "dicking bimbos" in their own home, tells us about Hillary.

I realize that Trump's past is pretty racy too (although I suspect that Melania would put up with no current crap), and that the average lib doesn't care what Bill does, but, at least a few moderates who are decent people might at least "wonder" about Hillary's acquiescence to all this.
