Republican operative's wife attacks MoveOn.org. Oh, she's also CNN's new anchor Campbell Brown
Jonathan Klein, the President of CNN, has got himself yet another biased reporter.

The wife of Dan Senor, who served as a spokesperson for Bush in Iraq, is now working for CNN. Normally, who a reporter's spouse is wouldn't and shouldn't matter. And, it wouldn't if Campbell Brown didn't show an obvious bias. Last night, in her first week on the job, she attacked MoveOn:
During the November 28 CNN special Campaign Killers: Why Do Negative Ads Work?, CNN anchor Campbell Brown said: "General David Petraeus made his reputation taking on insurgents in Iraq. But when he came to Capitol Hill in September, he was confronted by American insurgents, a liberal anti-war group called MoveOn.org."
Seriously, comparing MoveOn to insurgents is beyond the pale. That is such an obviously loaded term. Campbell Brown showed a clear bias, plain and simple.

Actually, Campbell, if you want to know what real insurgents are, ask your husband and his colleagues who let the insurgency grow in Iraq under their watch. He even still has his White House web page touting that gig.

Isn't Olbermann sort of the exception that proves the rule?

8. It's another...
...conservative lie so that they can keep distracting attention from what is really going on.

This nation is in serious danger of imploding in on itself. Our President is corrupt, our Congress is corrupt, and our media is corrupt. The only watchdogs left are the people, most of whom are sheep, not watchdogs. If we don't re-gain control of our own nation soon, I fear it will be lost forever.

4. I saw the teaser for that CNN show...
In the teasers for this CNN show "Campaign Killers" the Moveon.org ad which
features Petraeus was visible during a good portion.

Can you believe this? The Moveon ad exposes a lie-based war and the jackboot thugs
who perpetuate this insanity and the murder of our soldiers and innocent Iraqi civilians.

Let's not forget, that Iraq is the springboard in the PNAC plan. It's the first
step in gaining a permanent foothold in the region, in order to plunder and
dominate that part of the world. The PNACers spell it all out on their Web site
and they explain that Iran and Syria are next.

The America people have been lied to continually for several years. The Moveon
ads expose the lies and call for truth and justice.

Cries for justice, truth and and end to this senseless, lie-based war is positioned
as an ATTACK????????????????????

Let's call a spade a spade. This segment is meant to have a chilling effect on
patriots who dare to criticize and stop the neocons. If you want to stop murder,
the destruction of our democracy, the erosion of our civil rights and the bankrupting
of our nation-----you are now a "Campaign Killer" and you are spewing negativity
and vitriol.

The Bush Administration--along with their willing media accomplices are attempting
to squelch the seeds of revolution--as we enter the campaign season.

SCREW THEM!! Let this be a sign that we need to scream even louder, make more of
these ads and defend our calls for justice and truth as patriotic and courageous!

I think these hot CON-servative women think we are really that stupid, ok we are, but that being said, Campbell your mind tricks don't work on me. The jig is up, we know your a conservative plant. If only I could convince the rest of CNN's X million viewers. ackk

6. I've given up...
...on CNN... they have gone over to the dark side and now take their lead from Fox. It's a done deal.

Other than Keith Olbermann, I honestly don't know that there is another American media source that I really trust. And Keith reminds of Deitrich from V for Vendetta. He is going to be beloved for the things he says until the day he goes too far, and then he'll simply go away.

7. She's just frustrated because her husband is gay
Not that she, or anyone, didn't know that beforehand.

Career anything for the career.

9. Poor Campbell grew up in a Democratic household
Edited on Fri Nov-30-07 11:37 AM by DemGa
then crossed over to a neocon-type husband. I've also noticed how she swoons when she mentions Herr Bush. The lady clearly has daddy issues IMO.
