CNN:
it’s no wonder your ratings still aren't matching competitors. American
viewers are smarter than you assume, and we simply want truth in
reporting.
Please see the article linked below. Wolf Blitzer’s
recent coverage of this story really was blisteringly dishonest. First,
because he didn’t reach out to me or the SarahPAC staff for rebuttal.
Second, because he failed to disclose the anti-tea party associations of
the “architect” of this story whose organization is a competitor of my
efforts to advance the candidacies of genuine grassroots conservatives –
not those handpicked by the permanent political class. As the article
explains, in my recent CPAC speech I gulped and denounced the
consultants who engage in campaign hopping and have made a racket out of
multi-million dollar failures each election cycle for themselves and
their cronies. What a shame CNN continues to plug away in a floundering
direction with reports like this. The shame is that they employ some
top-notch reporters who no doubt believe in truth in journalism, but
examples like this diminish the good reporters’ good efforts.
As a side note, I find it interesting that CNN recently disclosed that
their old “Crossfire” show might hit their airwaves again. Wasn’t CNN
among those who issued blistering criticism about the use of a
“crossfire” icon in 2010 to represent political districts we wished to
see represented by commonsense conservatives? CNN, among others, implied
that using a “crossfire” icon (which was a tactic first employed by
Democrats to illustrate political maps of districts they “targeted” to
win) was inciting violence.
