| Now that former NBC News president Jeff Zucker is set to take over as president of CNN, the fate of the cable news network is an open question. In a Sunday discussion about the transition, CNN media critic Howard Kurtz and his guests passed over the network´s left-of-center reporting, implying instead that CNN is somehow devoid of bias compared to its primary competitors, MSNBC and Fox News. During a segment on “Reliable Sources,” panelist David Zurawik -- media critic for the Baltimore Sun newspaper -- asserted that the news organization is “the nation´s last bastion of television journalism.”

Comments:
No wonder the media is so screwed up with twisted minds like this in "journalism." I read somewhere that Zucker was the one who hired David Gregory. That should tell you all you need to know.

CNN is a global network. They know their ratings in the U.S. stink but they do not care. Their purpose is to denigrate the U.S. from `without`. Just as the Arabs teach their children from birth to hate the Jews, CNN teaches their worldwide audience to hate the U.S.

Note to Randy Hall: There´s a big difference between "left of center reporting" and "Kool-Aide-gulping, water-carrying, in-the-tank propaganda tool." I think.
#3: maybe they don´t know what "bastion" means? "Journalism" certainly doesn´t mean a field with a lot of people to whom language matters.

It really doesn´t sink in with these people why they continue to lose audience share. Rearranging the deck chairs with a different person of the liberal belief system won´t change a thing.They don´t want to copy Fox´smodel which really does try to present both sides on just about all their presentations.
One of the biggest sins of left wing journalism is omitting things that are a bad reflection on Obama. Barely any major network coverage of the Sandy aftermath.So people are left with the impression that Obama said no red tape,so that must be what´s happening. Bush did a much better job with Katrina than Obama could dream of with this storm but he´ll never get credit.
This is the main reason Fox looks biased,simply reporting things the other networks ignore.

When the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (“Obamacare”) was being debated, proponents were accused of saddling Americans with inferior and expensive health care while keeping generous coverage for themselves at taxpayer expense. To rebut that allegation and build confidence in the bill, a provision was added mandating that members of Congress – and their staff members – get there coverage through the new exchange system the bill set up. Now that the time to sign up for exchange coverage is nearing, a Democratic member, Rep. John Larson (D., Conn.), is saying that

“The greatest danger zone a president can be in is when he is being attacked on the left and the right. When they are reading off the same talking points, that’s when presidencies fall apart.” -- Dan Pfeiffer, senior adviser to President Obama, in an interview with the Washington Post. In the little that President Obama has said publicly about his administration’s recently exposed domestic surveillance programs he has returned to the overall motif of his presidency: warning against excessive distrust of the federal government. While hawks wait anxiously to see if Obama can

Glenn Greenwald is the Guardian journalist who broke the story of the NSA snooping. Greenwald came to prominence during the Bush years by denouncing that administration’s anti-terrorism policies. To his credit, Greenwald is one of the few on the left who has remained consistent and now criticizes Obama policies with almost as much zeal as he criticized Bush. Not to his credit, Greenwald developed a habit of using fake commenters to defend his written positions when others criticized him, and then denied that he engaged in any sockpuppetry. Greewald blamed the sockpuppetry on his boyfriend.

The final OIG report that Congress got lacked any references to the specific cases of criminal and other misconduct apparently detailed in an October 2012 OIG memorandum, Royce noted. After the report was issued in February, Foreign Affairs Committee staff met with and asked OIG staff for specific examples of misconduct and senior-level interference. OIG staff refused to share

Erica Lafferty, whose mother Dawn Hochsprung, died trying to stop the shooter, sent out an emotional plea in an email on behalf of Organizing for Action, asking people to sign onto an online petition aimed at pressuring Congress to pass gun control legislation.

A July meeting of the House GOP conference on immigration reform was not scheduled in response to pressure from conservatives, several Republican leadership offices said Friday. Behind Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), Steve King (R-Iowa) and Louie Gohmert (R-Texas), conservative Republicans have been circulating a petition this week calling on House GOP leaders to stage a special conference meeting on comprehensive reform, according to several news outlets. The idea is to prolong the debate in hopes of killing the bill. Republican leaders have scheduled such a meeting on July 10.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.) made the announcement late Friday after exchanging several weeks worth of testy letters with the nation’s top cop.

The Democratic National Convention may be long over, but its organizers have not forgotten the almost half a million dollars worth of electronics they seem to have lost. Organizers of the Charlotte, N.C., convention have filed a police report for lost and stolen electronics, some of which they appear to have valued at as much as 62 times the listed market prices. A reportedly stolen 13-inch MacBook Pro laptop? $75,537. The price listed on the Apple website is $1,199. A lost iPhone? $30,503. A lost Blackberry? $54,250. The DNC did not respond to a request for comment.

Meet Marco Rubio, candidate for Senate. October 24, 2010: (Snip) RUBIO: First of all, earned path to citizenship is basically code for amnesty. It’s what they call it. And the reality of it is this.

While Obama participates in those talks, Michelle Obama and the kids are slated to head to Dublin’s Trinity College to take a look at an exhibition on Obama’s Irish ancestry. Researchers from Irish historical research company Eneclann spent four years tracing Obama’s ancestry on his mother’s side back to his seventh great-grandfather, Joseph Kearney (b. 1698). The Kearney family reportedly has links with Limerick and Galway as well as Ballygurteen.

This is highly unethical, but apparently standard procedure at the once-legendary Post: The Washington Post on Friday revised a story about President Barack Obama’s trip to Africa with no note to the reader about the changes. The Post on Thursday reported the White House canceled Obama’s Tanzanian safari “following inquiries” from the paper “about the trip’s purpose and expense” — but the version online and in print on Friday offers a

When President Obama makes his first extended trip to sub-Saharan Africa this month, the federal agencies charged with keeping him safe won’t be taking any chances. Hundreds of U.S. Secret Service agents will be dispatched to secure facilities in Senegal, South Africa and Tanzania. A Navy aircraft carrier or amphibious ship, with a fully staffed medical trauma center, will be stationed offshore in case of an emergency. Military cargo planes will airlift in 56 support vehicles, including 14 limousines and three trucks loaded with sheets of bulletproof glass to cover the windows of the hotels

WASHINGTON — The State Department has hired an alarming number of law-enforcement agents with criminal or checkered backgrounds because of a flawed hiring process, a stunning memo obtained by The Post reveals. The background problems are severe enough that many of the roughly 2,000 agents in State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security can play only limited roles in agency efforts to police bad conduct and prosecute wrongdoers. The problems in the bureau are the latest revelation in an exploding scandal that also involves accusations that members of former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton’s security detail

Washington- Syria has crossed a "red line" with its use of chemical weapons, including the nerve agent sarin gas, against rebels, a move that is prompting the United States to increase the "scale and scope" of its support for the opposition, the White House said Thursday. The acknowledgment is the first time President Barack Obama´s administration has definitively said what it has long suspected -- that President Bashar al-Assad´s forces have used chemical weapons in the ongoing civil war.

At a Thursday press conference, House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi condemned a bill that would prohibit abortions during the final four months of pregnancy with exceptions for when the life or physical health of the mother was at stake. Asked what the moral difference is between what Dr. Kermit Gosnell did to babies born alive and aborting those same infants moments before birth, Pelosi refused to answer. "As a practicing and respectful Catholic, this is sacred ground to me when we talk about this," Pelosi said. "This shouldn´t have anything to do with politics."
