CNN's media reporter shamed his colleagues this week for rushing to judgment before all of the facts were in about a brawl involving the Palin family.

[Soon to be Ex-]CNN Media Reporter Shames Colleagues for Not Giving Sarah Palin Benefit of Doubt

bttt
Notice how the media jumps to conclusions when it comes to Sarah Palin(Because they hate her guts) but have NO problem saying “No no, the beheading in Oklahoma has NOTHING to do with Islam, nothing to see here, moving on” even though the guy’s facebook page reads like an Al Qaeda playbook that would make even ISIS blush
this just nails the coffin of the media being biased.
bet CNN spent less time on the Obama scandals
