   They are just jealous that they can’t do as good of a job as bloggers like MM. They want to return to the time that they controlled all the information.

   This is just more example of why the MSM is becoming irrelevant. I have no doubt that YOUtube/Google could host the debate much better than CNN could.

They really pull out the Whambulance every time they get caught doing something unethical. Liberal rule number 1 when caught doing something wrong blame the person that observed and/or reported your poor behavior.

   You are obviously doing something right Michelle as you appear to be their number one target. Continue to stay aware of your surroundings as you travel on your daily errands you never know how the unhinged will act out their anger at your arrogance of uncovering the truth.

    Bloggers believe it’s OK to have what some readers might consider conflicts of interest as long as those conflicts are acknowledged. They weren’t in this case, and they should have been.

    Please explain to me who doesn’t have a conflict of interest. (Well ‘cept Hill and Edwards, who only serve themselves). The rest of us sometimes “have to serve” family, friends, coworkers, etc. instead of ourselves. The ultimate conflict of interest. Conservatives believe these “conflicts” are a necessary and/or inevitable part of life and believe disclosure is the moral course of action. There is no way to practically eliminate all of the “conflicts” so instead you disclose it/them. Then the listener can make their own value judgments. Liberals believe you hide them, pretend they don’t exist. Then it’s only “wrong” when you get caught.

    Being fair and balanced, Fox/Hannity and Dingleburs, hosted a couple of ‘analyst’ to justify CNN’s culpa. Both talked down to the audience. They need but speak and reality is automatically reconfigured unto their own image. They argued it matters not who ask the question but what the question is. People actually get paid for spewing this type of nonsense. One of the analyst was former Congressman Ford and the other was recently released from a local toy factory (very high lead content…my ad hominems for both).

    Oreilly featured the gay general, once again behind the Malkin information curve, but Hannity acknowledged several of the plants were discovered by Michelle, and proportions the scope of this “oversight” (very much like the Titanic not seeing the iceberg that sunk it) .

    They really do need to get over themselves. Unpopular speech is just as relevant as popular speech, just not in their minds.

    Here’s some help to those of you who can’t stand to hear the truth:

    If you don’t like what you see or hear, I would recommend closing your eyes, putting your hands over your ears and sing “LA LA LA LA LA LA LA LA” as loud as possible. And when the worst part is over, someone will give you some cookies and milk.

    From Mara Liasson of National Public Radio on the Republican and Democratic presidential debates sponsored by CNN and Google’s YouTube affiliate:

    “I think CNN does itself a great disservice when it doesn’t apply the exact same kind of criteria to both debates. I covered both of them. In the Democratic debate, I don’t think there were any questions that were clearly coming from, you know, a Republican point of view. They were generally sympathetic. They were about global warming and health care and education, all kind of Democratic issues. They weren’t challenging them. There was one kind anti-tax question, I think, but they weren’t challenging the basic principles of the Democratic Party. There were lots of questions last night [at the GOP debate] that were. I think the question about the Bible was mocking. I think one of the abortion questions was clearly not from someone who was pro-life”.

    Dang, does this mean I have to have a bit of respect for National Public Radio again? or does it mean that Mara Liasson is about to be out of a job??

    CNN never changes. It just goes on the attack against anyone who outsmarts the CNN mediocre staff. I think it might be interesting to find out whether General Kerr had given campaign contributions to Democratic candidates in the past. But if I looked at any of the many web sites that will tell me this, CNN will say that I am a stalker.
    My favorite response to CNN came from Ehud Barak back in 2000. Christine Amanpour, the left wing antiIsrael activist who covers the MiddleEast for CNN was interviewing Prime Minister Barak. Her interview was nothing more than an antiIsrael diatribe in which she parroted the propaganda that Yasser Arafat had given her: Barak said: “this is bull _ _ _ t” and terminated the interview.
    CNN can’t debate Michelle Malkin on her factfinding so they have to resort to calling names. The whole group of them, Cooper, Blitzer, King and Amanpour should just move into Clinton campaign headquarters and fess up.

    I agree with commentors. The lamestream media or the driveby media has been operating freely with this malfeasence for years. As a matter of fact as long as I have been watching the news, since the 60’s. Technology is good and the proper use is wonderful, now we can refute in seconds before they are even off the air with their phoney-baloney. This scares them, yes, but what really frightens them is that they see their ‘power’ slipping away. Nothing worse than losing your ‘power’ to influence the masses to your agenda.

    I am sure that had we had the tools supplied to us via the internet and Perot not screwed things up (which is probably the basis behind the question to Ron Paul about running on an Independent ticket), these two Clintons would have packed it back to Arkansas back in 93. What a wonderful world this would be!! Well, at least we would be spared the Billary run for the presidency in 08.

    It’s been said here, and in other comment threads several times; but I experienced it first-hand.

    I made mention of the plants to a liberal friend, and cited Michelle’s first post (”Digging Out…”). Here’s his response:

    “… the real problem is that their seen as plants, instead of citizens, at either debate, who simply have questions to ask. This is the old game of blame the messenger. If someone is running for president, what difference does it make who asks the questions, its the answer that counts.”

    I didn’t respond … could have made several, e.g., CNN’s characterization of the questioners, lack of disclosure, etc.; but it would have just escalated into a flame war.

    CNN didn’t even have to Google these folks. They had email addresses and phone numbers and of course they talked to each of them before putting their videos on the air. Just ask: “Are you supporting a candidate for President?” Earlier this year the NY Times Caucus blog asked commenters to disclose if they are supporting a candidate so readers would know where slams of other candidates are coming from. CNN should have seen the need to screen for video questioners with an agenda to damage any or even all of the Republican candidates.

    Hey Michelle,
    A quibble on language - A stalking horse is something used for cover while stalking. The phrase originally comes from the practice of hiding behind a horse while it grazed in a field and slowly moved towards those partridges - partridges don’t notice if a horse has six legs. A stalking horse provides a screen for the stalker, but doesn’t itself stalk.
    Ergo, a stalking horse is something that looks innocent, but hides danger. For example, “The Children” is a stalking horse for increased government control.

    You, yourself, are the hunter, and seem to have struck home, judging by the reaction!

    Dave I was hoping somebody would respond to your question. I too think what CNN and the rest of the MSM is doing is in fact Illegal or a violation of campaign finance laws.

    People keep saying we should just change the channel or call them out on their misrepresentations.

    For the first time in History, the MSM is actively trying to rig a election. They no longer are even trying to hide the fact that they are trying to elect Hillary Clinton and are rigging Presidential Debates to that end.

    If CNN and MSNBC are going to campaign for their candidate, they should have to register with the FEC and the campaigning should have a dollar value ascribed to their efforts. That way every thing can be out in the open instead of hiding behind the first amendment.

    This is no longer just a left right bias issue, it has become interference in the election of the President of the United States.

    IMHO-They have already exceeded any financial limits that would apply to rigging the debates.

    I am stunned that people do not see this as a violation of campaign laws and do not see this as criminal act.

    Attorneys, What say you?
