CNN MEMO WARNS STAFF ON REPORTING JESSE JACKSON SCANDAL BOOK
**Exclusive**
A CNN internal memo warns staffers to hold off reporting on a new book which presents a damning portrait of former CNN host and civil rights activist Rev. Jesse Jackson.
The CNN memo obtained by the DRUDGE REPORT, penned from the network's Chicago bureau, points out how the author of SHAKEDOWN: THE LIFE OF THE REVEREND JESSE JACKSON -- may not be trustworthy!
"Kenneth Timmerman is a long time writer and investigator touting conservative causes," the CNN memo notes.
"He is recently a failed political candidate [ran for US Senate in Maryland] whose own bio points out he studied creative writing at Brown."
SHAKEDOWN hits stores this week; it quickly raced to the top of the AMAZON hit sales parade.
REGNERY PUBLISHING set a first run of 150,000 copies, a record for the house.
If these are the types of things circling around CNN news desks, we don't have to wonder why CNN cannot be trustworthy or fair about reporting anything. Period!
Great post, and you are absolutely correct.
Howie played the "poke chop" clip, and Timmerman said he's heard similar, but not that one.
Timmerman is supposed to be on CNN at about 6:15PM EST - Lou Dobbs. No one has said anything different to him up to just about 5PM...
of coarse FAT LYING DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTS FROM ARKANSAS OR CIVIL RIGHTS PIMPS CAN MISLEAD JUDGES AS WELL AS THE PUBLIC AND REMAIN CREDIBLE
Jesse Jackson will experience some sort of public setback.
>bing!<
Did you watch Walter Issackson on PBS, call the ad a mistake? He wasn't just talking about peddling Paula as a sex kitten..he was talking bout that...hee hee.. phonograph record.
And how long has it been since anyone at CNN listened to a....hee hee.. phonograph record?
