Wow, you are gracious this morning!
This is CNN. They should never be given the benefit of the doubt.
Absolutely. A phrase I hated to see on FR during the Obama debacle was “To be fair.” As in, “To be fair, that’s not really what Obama meant. Let’s not pile on him for that. It just makes us look bad.” The left will NEVER, EVER cut us some slack, give us the benefit of the doubt, etc. So my position always is, if Obama is being hurt by a falsehood, certainly don’t perpetuate the falsehood, because that will just make us look like fools. But never, EVER come to his defense. Let HIM explain himself. Let HIS media excuse it away. But I for one will never defend that slug for any reason. And the idea that someone would defend CNN when they are providing a service to Joe Biden is incredible.
