Pot Calling Kettle Black At The LA Times

CNN: Corrupt News Network
A self-serving agenda was set for the Republican presidential debates.

THE United States is at war in the Middle East and Central Asia, the
economy is writhing like a snake with a broken back, oil prices are relentlessly
climbing toward $100 a barrel and an increasing number of Americans just can't
afford to be sick with anything that won't be treated with aspirin and bed
rest.

So, when CNN brought the Republican presidential candidates together this
week for what is loosely termed a "debate," what did the country get but a
discussion of immigration, Biblical inerrancy and the propriety of flying the
Confederate flag?

In fact, this most recent debacle masquerading as a presidential debate
raises serious questions about whether CNN is ethically or professionally
suitable to play the political role the Democratic and Republican parties
recently have conceded it.

In any event, CNN has failed in its responsibilities to the political
process and it's time for the leaders of both the Republican and Democratic
parties to take the network out of our electoral affairs.
WOW, that takes some brass ones for the LA Times to actually attempt to stand on that rickety soap box.
