The "liberal media" gave more coverage to the "liberal embarrassing" Jussie Smollett story than to the "conservative embarrassing" Coast Guard story. Even though the Coast Guard was planning to kill prominent Democratic leaders.
Even CNN was more interested in the Jussie than the Coast Guard story.
Oh, and CNN just hired a recent Trump administration official and GOP operative, with no journalism experience, to serve as a political editor, overseeing 2020 campaign coverage ... of Trump. (This is different than hiring a former Trump official as a pundit. This is highly unusual.)
A political editor selects stories and direct news coverage - they don't write stories. It seems to me having a different (conservative) point of view at a place like CNN is appropriate - certainly not unusual. If CNN wants to cover the republican side of 2020, it probably makes sense to have someone on staff who understands that side.
If you're upset about this, then you must be really upset about
Stepanopuoulos, a leading adviser to both clintons and a highly partisan dem, heading the ENTIRE news department at ABC, including moderating presidential debates.
Or Jim Sciutto worked in the Obama administration and then became a "reporter" for CNN covering Trump.
Jeff Greenfield was a speechwriter for Bobby Kennedy
David Shipley (political editor at bloomberg) left a position as special assistant to President Clinton to join The New York Times as an Op Ed Editor.
Tim Russert was an aide to Pat Moynihan and Mario Cuomo
Pierre Salinger was a White House press secretary for both JFK and LBJ before becoming an ABC News correspondent.
Jake Tapper, once served as press secretary to former Dem Rep. Marjorie Margolies-Mezvinsky
Chris Cuomo is an lead anchor at CNN. Remind me, who are his father and brother?
All of these people are/were "
reporters" or editors, not pundits. Amazing that the left can't tolerate having one editor/reporter they disagree with.
