CNN: Official Mouthpiece for the Right ?? ...

[Trajan]

Today: It is posted here that Wolfie Blitzer is associated with AIPAC ...

Bill Schneider, it has also been revealed here ... is somehow associated with the AEI, the philosophical blood-brothers of the PNAC ...

And of course, Daryn Kagan's close relationship to Rush Limbaugh should raise a few eyebrows ....

Is there any doubt as to WHY CNN seems like such bootlicking acolytes of the Right Wing ? ...

Hell: they MAY have deeper RW credentials than their friends at FAUX ....

Anyone else in the CNN universe who has close associations with the very RW groups whom we despise ? ...

So now we find out that CNN commentators James Carville and Paul Begala have signed on with the Kerry campaign as unpaid advisors. Traditionally, that would mean they would have to take a leave of absence from CNN or any news organization that employed them because journalistic ethics (oxymoron?) dictate that news organizations remain totally separate from political campaigns. But since we live in strange times, CNN says it will keep the guys on the air.----

2. Here's a question that was asked a long time ago

Is Daryn Kagan related to neocon spokesmodel Robert Kagan?

I haven't been able to find anything on this.

6. No Relationship

Robert Kagan is the co-founder of PNAC.
He served in the Reagan State Department and was an advisor to Jack Kemp.

He is also a senior associate at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, and a contributing editor at the Weekly Standard.

He is married to Victoria Nuland, a foreign service officer with the Department of State, they have two children, Elena and David.

4. And the president of Time Warner, CNN's parent company is

Richard Parsons, who was once considered by * to be Commerce Secretary.

From C/Net"\:

"Speculation during this time heightened that Parsons would take a position within the Bush administration, possibly as his commerce secretary. Parsons was passed up for the position, but nonetheless remained in service of President Bush by co-chairing his effort to overhaul Social Security."

10. Is CNN going down the "tubes"?

They blasted onto the scene and gained tremendous viewership during the first Gulf War, now they are facing tremendous competition from the likes of Faux, and all the NBC news networks can't be helping. There are even specialty high definition news networks eating away at viewership. Its a good thing there are all these 527 groups keeping them in business.
