This week CNN's Political Ticker reported "Congresswoman takes post in State Department." The article begins:
California congresswoman Ellen Tauscher is vacating her Bay Area seat to serve under Hillary Clinton at the State Department.
Tauscher, a moderate Democrat and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, said in a message to her constituents that Clinton had asked her to serve as undersecretary of state for arms control and international security.
Let's briefly examine the congressional voting record of the "moderate Democrat" Ellen Tauscher. According to interest group evaluations compiled by Project Vote Smart, for 2007 the congresswoman received a zero from the American Conservative Union and the National Right to Life Committee, an F from the National Taxpayers Union, an F- from Gun Owners of America, and a 4 from Citizens Against Government Waste.
In contrast, she was awarded 100 percent ratings by NARAL Pro-Choice America, the American Civil Liberties Union, the National Education Association, and the National Organization for Women. Americans for Democratic Action assigned her a 95 and the AFL-CIO accorded her a 96.
CNN considers such a voting record to be one of a moderate Democrat. Apparently, over at the most trusted name in news, liberals are as rare as a Barack Obama misstep.

That's easy...
McCain...
Snowe...
Collins...
Specter...
Yet another example that the “Peace Loving Left” are devolving bestial death freaks, who are more in need of a zoo cage, and a hosing down, than to be allowed to roam freely among civilized humans.
I wonder who in their opinion is a left wing dimocRAT? I bet they can’t name one.
That's easy...McCain...Snowe...Collins...Specter...
Sorry Sarge. CNN defines them as radical right wingers.
CNN Is Owned by Time Warner...For crying out loud, why is it being sourced here, as news?
It’s possible that CNN’s crap get’s more exposure on Free Republic then any other web site on the entire inter-net.
If it were not for Free Republic, CNN might have to pay to advertise.
“CNN=Clueless News Network”
or CNN=Crap News Network
CNN thinks Nancy Pelosi is a moderate. To the MSM, everything to the right of Nancy Pelosi is extreme right wing, and there is no such thing as extreme left wing. There are only moderate Democrats and extremist Republicans.
A moderate Democrat uses vaseline.
A moderate to the leftists is someone who hasn't actually sent a Conservative to the gas chambers yet...but really wants to...bad.
With a straight face, people in the media continue to claim they are not biased.
point taken. 
CNN: All your moderates belong to us.
To CNN, a “Moderate” Democrat is an old line democrat from the Clintoon fabric, not a “New” Green Democrat from the Ralph Nader/Barack Obama fabric. Just different shades of far leftism.
Finally someone gets it right.
It’s like the MSM’s use of ultra conservative. No such thing as an ultra liberal, just “progressives.”
Valid point, but I think documenting its bias is of some value.
