In reply to the discussion: CNN News Staffers Revolt Over Blown Coverage [View all]BumRushDaShow
(169,296 posts)put the SCOTUSBlog website up on the screen and let the bloggers "explain" (in a running live blog session) the ruling as it was being read and as they were reading it.
Meanwhile the CNN hacks launched into a familiar (and apparently highly rehearsed) diatribe about how this was "a blow to the administration". "A blow to the Democrats". "A blow to Obama", "will affect the election chances", "a win for conservatives and the GOP", and other such fiction.
Finally almost 10 minutes later, after having Gupta join in about how devastating this was, someone was apparently yelling in Blitzer's ear until he stopped his orgasmic hatefest, and he started mumbling about "confusion" and "may have been upheld". Meanwhile the website refused to change their banner headline and story.
Nothing can be said good about them. They went in with preconceived outcomes and spat that out regardless of the reality of what had happened.
