CNN's 'Non-Partisan' Brown Airs Hit Piece On Bunning
"Campbell Brown . . . the only non-partisan cable news anchor at 8 pm." -- CNN description of Campbell Brown"Non-partisan": right. The hit that Brown, with help from reporter Dana Bash, put on Jim Bunning this evening was worthy of that hyper-partisan guy over at MSNBC in the 8 PM ET slot.
Bash first narrated a classic of the liberal media genre: an anecdotal story of someone allegedly hurt by hard-hearted Republican policies. Bash claimed that "in the real world," Bunning's position is having a "devastating effect" on people like single mother Madonna Alvarez.
It got worse . . .
Note the graphic at the end of the clip: the extension of welfare benefits is nothing less than a "lifeline." Brown snidely warns that we might expect "a repeat performance from the always unpredictable Sen. Bunning." Get it? He's craz-e-e-e-e!
