flack = in politics, a biased pundit, like all of CNN.
The word flack was first used as a noun meaning "publicity agent" during the late 1930s. ... You may also be familiar with another "flack" - a noun meaning "criticism" or "opposition." This unrelated homograph stems from a misspelling of "flak," a German acronym and English word for antiaircraft guns.
