Could you by any chance EVER imagine CNN running a whole documentary based on an investigation by... oh... the Heritage Foundation?
"A conservative, right-wing study by the conservative right-wing Heritage Foundation reached this conservative, right wing conclusion..." blah blah blah.
Perhaps something from the Center For Consumer Freedom?
"The conservative, pro-business, restaurant industry funded Center For Consumer Freedom made this conservative, pro-business, statement..." etc etc etc.
But Soros and his gang get a pass.
Was the research legit?
Maybe.
But a little context is in order and, again CNN has failed to provide it
Again, nobody anywhere in the editorial process saw fit to point out that a party in this story is a partisan with an agenda.
And again, it was someone coming in from out of left field who got the free ride.
That says more than any couching or attribution would have.
They've learned nothing.
From Tailwind, to Memogate, nothing.
Partisan propaganda is the number one priority.
Actual journalism is two, maybe three... four?

..from Jon Klein? The guy is running CNN straight into week-old dog crap. When he took the helm, he said he was going to return CNN to hard journalism. Since then, he has increased the tabloid feel of CNN while managing to decrease ratings. Good Job Klein. Thumbs Up.
