BS response by CNN. The intention was obvious.
No mistake, and to make it worse, Griffin lied.
I think he is a liar.
LIAR!!!
And in the Palin/Griffin interview, and here's the Video
At the end when Sarah Palin says that if she was as gaffetastic as Biden, the media would be all over her, Drew Griffin actually says 'YOU'RE RIGHT.'
So yes, CNN sucks, but Drew Griffin is ok. He just messed up.
He really means he didn't think he'd be caught red-handed. The mischaracterizing of the article was complete before Governor Palin interrupted to ask the author's name.
Don't let CNN recover any tiny bit of credibility. Sometimes the report is accurate - that can happen by accident.
CNN likes to Larry King conservatives. I’m surprised they acknowledged anything before the election. They rank right up there with MSNBC in credibility.
The MSM News reporters are nothing but hacks for the Democrat party and no longer worthy of the wasted time of watching.
Yes, it would appear so. What I don't understand is why the press has to preface a simple question with a paragraph of commentary and bias, loading the question with their opinion or other garbage. Why not just ask the question and be done with it? We want to know what your interviewee has to say, and I for one, don't care a whit for all the prefacing and lead-up to every single question.
WEell, as I live and breath. Miracles do happen — IF it was a mistake, and the apology was genuine.
Sure and I have a bridge for sale !
Cases like this remind me of what Goldberg wrote about in his book “Bias”. Most of the MSM’s bias is, I suspect, just what happened here. They truly are “mistakes”, but “mistakes” of blind eagerness to destroy anyone on the right of the political spectrum.
That is, these people are so eager to be the next Woodward and Bernstein that they actually (and honestly) miss key portions of facts and stories. They can then honestly say later, if even caught, that they did make a mistake and had no malice with respect to the mistake.
Which is true. What they don’t admit (to themselves much less others) is that their eagerness to bring such people down MAKES them commit those “honest mistakes”.
Most bullies turn into a quivering mass of goo when a would-be victim fights back.
Where the hell have you been BO??? It has been this way for 25 years.
"and"??? Pointlessly redundant.

There are people who are surrounded by bigots
and know it is wrong, but are afraid to be vocal against it.
These people are going to pull the lever for Obama
and they are not being polled.

Damage already done. Front page headline followed 4 days later by a retraction on the bottom of page B8. It is an old Media trick. It is right up there with “my opponent is not a wife beater and I have never called him a wife beater nor has anybody on my staff every called my opponent a wife beater” routine.
The late and unlamented Julia Carson (D) actually used that against her last opponent, a very successful Black businessman, four years ago. Mr. Dickerson had one domestic disturbance charge filed against him by his ex-wife. She even came out and said she had never brought charges against him, she just called the police once when they were going through their divorce. The DNC sent a 4 color mailer to everybody in the District actually calling him a wife beater. Julia of course claimed she had nothing to do with it.
