According to ex-CNN reporter Judy Woodruff, both her former network and PBS are "God-fearing, America loving" organizations. The veteran journalist, who is now promoting a documentary on young people for public television, appeared on the Thursday, January 11 edition of Stephen Colbert’s "Colbert Report." Before discussing Ms. Woodruff’s new investigative report, the Comedy Central host shifted into his faux-conservative mode and attacked CNN and PBS. This exchange followed at 11:50pm:
Stephen Colbert: "Now, you used to work for CNN. Now, you're doing this documentary, which sounds fascinating, for PBS. Is that– Is it– But, you've gone from, you know, an organization that clearly hates America to an organization that is proto, like, commie. Is it possible to go further left then PBS on television?"
Judy Woodruff: "Now, no. Absolutely not. You know that's not true."
Colbert: "I do not not know that’s true. I do not not know that’s true? Yes. Bill Moyers is, like, got his Mao’s little red book in his back pocket, right? You're wearing a pink outfit."
Woodruff: "PBS is a God-fearing, America-loving organization. Just like CNN."
Perhaps CNN demonstrated its "America-loving" tendencies when the network broadcast propaganda of terrorists murdering American soldiers?
Now, Stephen Colbert is not really a conservative. That's just a role he plays on television. And the MRC has documented Woodruff’s pro-Bill Clinton reporting while she worked for CNN So, the question remains: Who was being more disingenuous? The pretend right-winger Colbert or Woodruff with her assertions about CNN and PBS?

September 11, 2008 - 20:54 ET by Cool ArrowHide and watch. When THE ONE appears on stage she'll be sitting forward in that chair.
Watch for the "Fatal Attraction" move.
»→ I told you so
September 11, 2008 - 21:35 ET by Cool ArrowDid you see it? If Judy sits any further forward she'll fall face first into Obama's lap. That was so easy to predict.
And if it weren't for Democrats you wouldn't think the bat has any smile muscles.
<EDIT> I think I meant "Basic Instinct" above instead of "Fatal Attraction"

Goober's impersonation
January 12, 2007 - 14:49 ET by Carl KolchakI like Goober's impersonation of Cary Grant when he goes "Judy, Judy, Judy!", and then he also does a Edward G. Robinson impersonation where he says something like "Hey guys, what's the big idea guys, what are you doing guys" or something like that. Then he also walks like Festus from "Marshall Dillon" show. That is the episode with the "Fun Girls" and is really cool.

January 12, 2007 - 14:48 ET by Dan The Man 2She is right, CNN is as every bit a God Fearing, America loving network as PBS. I mena just look at the beheadings and snipershootings, cant be more god fearing that that reporter to coddle up to a real life terrorist, of course Im sure the god is wrong. And to do this all in the name of being a patriotic American. Just like IED's and flalfal.

I can still remember election
January 12, 2007 - 14:56 ET by Interested and concerned CDNI can still remember election night 2004. Judy was reporting from Florida and looked so devastated when Florida was called for Bush. I really felt it was stark, she felt so bad that given 2000 and all the hard work the Dems had done in Florida... I wish I recorded it, it was a prime example bias forcing thru.
anybody else catch this?

PBS and CNN Only Love Themselves
January 12, 2007 - 15:25 ET by emjem24Yet another reason I don't watch PBS, who the tax payers support, which is sad. Why do our tax dollars support this worthless news organization? It's not like they provide actual news more like spin, hate, and Bush bashing. Yeah, sure you're god-fearing and America-loving, sure...and I'm Daffy Duck.

Judy--you're not pro-Anmerica
January 12, 2007 - 17:11 ET by Andrew H.Judy--you're not pro-Anmerican. I don't know how you feel about God--what do you think He thinks about abortion? Based on what little I have heard anything you say lately, I suspect you don't think not much about Him either. I believe Colbert picked a scab open.
PBS and CNN--God fearing and pro-America--what a joke, an absolutely stunning joke. I suppose when CNN uses footage of a sniper shooting one of our troops, that was pro-American. Yeah. PBS usually finds nothing good about what we're doing in any venue, on any front. That liberal junk should be de-funded by the government.
Liberalism is a convenient lie.
