NY Times Delivers 'Stunning' News: Campbell Brown Shifts Towards Commentary
NewsBusters ^ | October 5, 2008 | P.J. Gladnick

The New York Times has just shocked us with this news: the CNN anchor on Election Center, Campbell Brown, is shifting over to commentary. This is quite hard to believe since Brown conceals her own views so well that it is impossible to detect the slightest trace of bias on her part. The Times informs us of this most unusual transition:

Campbell Brown said she was sitting in a doctor’s waiting room on Sept. 23, scrolling through BlackBerry messages about Gov. Sarah Palin’s having been cordoned off from reporters at the United Nations, when the thought of drafting an impassioned, on-air commentary seized her.

“I didn’t even have a scrap of paper,” Ms. Brown, the CNN anchor, said on a recent afternoon. “I ripped something out of a magazine.”

Video of the self-described “rant” that she delivered later that night on her show, “Election Center” — the gist was that Ms. Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee, should be freed from overcautious and sexist handlers — became an Internet sensation.

Earth to Planet Zongo ... how’s the weather there?

Are they insane, or do they think we’re stupid, or both?

I read that link. It never ceases to amaze me how these liberal reporters always think they are somehow “unbiased”.

It must be some defective gene that prevents them from acknowledging that fact.

I mean...I recently woke so could I still be dreaming? This is the LIMIT! They do think we’re stupid! And AS IF the dems need another partisan for their side on CNN or anywhere in the media. THANK GOD I have already stopped watching cnn or visiting their website. As if we had no idea which way she was “leaning”!

This is the same Brown woman who is so obviously in the bag with Obama, right?

CNN's handlers can't possibly believe she hides her beliefs. Just not possible.

This is a BS story.

Wouldn’t it be more expedient to shift the whole of CNN towards commentary. Doing it person by person is so inefficient!

Correction. "I was so inspired by my own intellectualism that I vandalized my doctor's private property, and stole some paper to record my profound insights, so as not to lose the opportunity to share my greatness with America."

There, fixed it.

I suppose that one leftist mediatwit no longer pretending to be objective is a good thing. Did you see her interview with Baroness Lynn de Rothschild, former Hillary supporter now endorsing McCain? It was hysterical - I thought Miss Brown was going to need an oxygen mask.

Her real name is "Alma". Seriously. Campbell is a family name on her mom's side.

Now I yell, "Alma, you idiot!"

They claim they can be "unbiased" ~ and gay guys you've known are gay for years and years will actually say no one else can tell (that they're gay).

If it's genetic, the two affected genes are very close together Fur Shur.
