Reply #15: I'll make a try for CNN, with three categories --

[DeepModem Mom]

1. Rarely give the opposition in this democracy (Democrats) a break, some only because they serve sources (Pentagon, for example).

2. Willing to treat Dems as acceptable members of the human race.

3. More than willing to speak for Dems, or always give the Dem view.


Category 1: Wolf Blitzer, Jack Cafferty, Tucker Carlson, Candy Crowley, David Ensor, Jeff Greenfield, Bill Hemmer, Daryn Kagan, John King, Howard Kurtz, Carol Lin, Robert Novak, Kate O'Beirne, Kyra Phillips, Bill (AEI) Schneider, Barbara Starr, Kelly Wallace, Judy Woodruff, Paula Zahn

Category 2: Anderson Cooper, Lou Dobbs, Larry King, Suzanne Malveaux, Soledad O'Brien, Jeffrey Toobin

Category 3: Paul Begala, Aaron Brown, Margaret Carlson, James Carville, Al Hunt, Mark Shields

On edit -- Five of the six in category 3 are specifically employed to represent Dem views on shows with equal numbers of partisans. That leaves one at CNN who might be considered a partisan on our side, Aaron Brown. Lou Dobbs, a Republican in Category 2, also deserves special mention for his courageous reporting.

On further edit -- Bruce Morton, I'm advised, needed to come out of Category 3, so he's out.
