printCNN, as you know, often veers into the business of shaping the news, rather than simply reporting it. It does so both by commission and by omission.
Thus has CNN steered clear of the scandals that have enveloped The Beloved, Barack Hussein Obama.
Over the past few days you were able to relive the manhunt for Bin Laden and the Boston bombers; watch the neurotic network doctor hype his latest health scare, hear about the collapse of a bridge in Skagit County, in my neck of the woods, learn of a baby born during the tornado; cry to “Emotional Stories of Survival,” “Examine Sexual Assault in the Military,” marvel at the audacity of Jodi Arias, hackers, but never BHO.
Look at the “CNN Transcripts for the entire day of May 24, 2013” (a service I appreciate). Buried in the links is a small notice, “IRS Non-Profit Chief Placed On Leave.” I was unable to find a fleshed-out report.
The “CNN Transcripts for May 23, 2013” are not much better.
Finally today, May 25, the network editorial board must have determined that it was time to mentions that “the Justice Department’s decision to seek a warrant to search a FOX News reporter’s private e-mail went all the way to the top. A Justice official tells CNN that Attorney General Eric Holder vetted the application himself and then the application was approved by a federal magistrate.”
CNN was likely shamed into news reportage by MSNBC, which is generally the worst offender, but seemed to have decided that indicting a journalist for doing his job was where passing the buck for Obama would stop, at least for a now.
Never know when the guy will sic his zealots on me.
