Interestingly enough (and definitely not surprising) CNN is trying to hush up what transpired. The video clip was rather quickly, and very quietly, removed from the CNN website and the "journalist" is now on "leave." Interesting indeed.
Unfortunately for CNN, the video is not going away, no matter how much even Google tries to hide it.

CNN 'journalist' shows true colors
A truly amazing piece of audio
-- a CNN reporter (using that phrase very, very loosely) interviewing a man with his child, and seemingly personally offended that someone could actually criticize the government spending that's going on. She demonstrates her complete lack of understanding of history and instead reveals her pro-Obama views as she calls the protests 'anti-government,' 'anti-CNN' and the best for last... 'it's not family viewing.' Huh? Transcript

Have things turned? AdAge says media will maul Obama
The mainstream media have had a love affair with Barack Obama during the campaign and transition, many have observed — but the honeymoon may soon be over. That’s the view of the trade publication Advertising Age, which predicts that the media will inevitably begin shining a more critical light on the new president.
In an article headlined “Fading love affair: How the media will maul Obama,” Ad Age notes, “It’s been conventional wisdom for at least a year now that the media is ‘in the tank’ for Obama . . .
“But all political infatuations must come to an end — and already you can begin to see the media straining mightily to assert its ‘objectivity.’”
Ad Age cites an editorial in the Los Angeles Times, which was staunchly supportive of Obama during the campaign, pledging that the paper will “watch Obama, to hold him to his work, and to report back.”
And another Obama supporter, The New York Times, ran a story headlined: “Signs of trouble emerge in transition’s last days.”
The Ad Age article stated that Obama “so far continues to appear deeply competent and eerily disciplined. He just won’t cooperate with the media’s need for a narrative shift. But no matter. The media always finds a way.”

Allegations in Ann Coulter's latest blockbuster book, Guilty: “Liberal ‘Victims’ and their assault on America”— have reportedly gotten her banned for life by NBC. "We are just not interested in anyone so highly critical of President-elect Obama, right now," a "Today" show insider reportedly told Matt Drudge. Coulter’s website reports that her scheduled appearance on NBC's "Today" show has been cancelled. "I guess this ends the 'they just want to get ratings' argument about liberal media bias," comments Coulter. (Newsmax)
However, they welcomed, and still welcome, anyone critical of Bush and invite bashing by all guests. The leftist double standard and their idea of a free speech.

What the guy who does it calls it is of no consequence; it is what we think of it.
ANY such attacks are despicable; the obvious historical reference of the lynching of blacks made it strike more chords, but it doesn't make it any worse, or better.

| With the Palin effigy- no crime was committed because there is no historical precedent for violence against white women by hanging. Disgusting, yes. A double standard, perhaps. This was done in Oregon with an Obama effigy and the homeowners were forced to remove it or face litigation. The guys who put the Palin effigy up there called it "an installation of art." I call it despicable and completely without evidence of intelligence. How liberal in this country are we willing to go to justify an immoral act and violation of human decency?

Actually I heard the harshest criticism of this very action last night and it was given by Keith Olbermann. You can watch it here:

I don't know of anybody who approves of this trash. It was a disgraceful act.

Maybe this guy will spead the wealth to send Obama disciples to school and let them run his country.
Now if he did get student loans and worked as he claimed , how in the hell did he pay them all back ? When it took him 17 years to pay off traffic tickets .

There has been no slaves I know of in the last 100 or so years , all Americans were given the right to vote , if they lost it for crimes committed that's their bad not mine.
There is honest work out there some seem to think they are to good to do, others depend on hand outs cause they can . Even some of the riches people in the country are taking money they don't deserve . It is time we all start giving back , but not in higher taxes to give to those who think the world owes them a favor for being born.
It's called working honestly for a living. Giving on your own not being forced to makes the coffee taste better.
Then I guess you're really voting for Obama because the vast majority of people in this country will pay less taxes under his proposal than they will under McCain's.

You hear what you want to hear. As always.
We have been living through a massive redistribution of wealth in this country. It even predates the current President. Wealth has been concentrated more and more in the hands of fewer and fewer people. The middle class has been broken.
These actions were the result of legislative actions that enabled them to happen.
What would you call outsourcing and moving American industry offshore? These things did not just happen, they were enabled through legislation. How about needless industry subsidies and tax cuts? Who benefited most from these things.
It was doctrinal and ideological adherence to free market capitalism with the "market" regulating business practices, that have landed us in the mess we are in.
Only people with limited understanding and judgement fail to see this. They also see criticisms of what happened as being socialistic or communistic.
We need to fix a broken system. I'm not sure we can anytime soon and I think there is a lot of pain coming our way.

You stated that perfectly, and I say that as someone who used to earn a living as a journalist/reporter.
In fact I find that to be a part of my background that I downplay more than anything else, as it is a "profession" that currently rates even lower than trial lawyers.
And just as an aside, the prickliness of Biden when asked a question he doesn't like is not something new. He took more than one attitude with me about questions I asked him as a reporter ---- more than 20 years ago. And I wasn't the only one that got the "you're joking" treatment. Back then it didn't make the national news because no one really gave a rat's rearend about a Senator from Delaware.

Palin has proved so distasteful to life long Republicans that you now here people named Eisenhower, Buckley and Goldwater endorsing Obama. Go spread your vile distortions to those stupid enough to believe you.

They are all the same wrote: I don't know. Let me think about what really is or really not American.
Is refusing to place your hand over your heart while pledging allegance to the flag American or Anti-American?
Is refusing to wear a flag pin on your lapel American or anti-American?
Is saying that this is the first time in your adult life that you have been proud to be an American - American or anit-American?
Is attending a church for 20 years in which the pastor preaches "God d**n America" - American or anti-American?
I will do the American thing and let you decide.
I think it is every bit anti-American and the media is so biased and liberal that they would like to see America d**ned.
VOTE MCCAIN. Let us not make the mistake once again of voting a man into office who will not keep America strong. Remember Carter. We all hung our heads in shame when every night our blindfolded hostages were paraded before the world while held hostage in Iran. That is when Night Line was started. Every night we were reminded that we were the whimps of the world. It took the election of President Reagan to restore our dignity and strength.
AGREED. Thank You for reminding us. History is destined to repeat itself unless we remember the past.

I don't know. Let me think about what really is or really not American.
Is refusing to place your hand over your heart while pledging allegance to the flag American or Anti-American?
Is refusing to wear a flag pin on your lapel American or anti-American?
Is saying that this is the first time in your adult life that you have been proud to be an American - American or anit-American?
Is attending a church for 20 years in which the pastor preaches "God d**n America" - American or anti-American?
I will do the American thing and let you decide.
I think it is every bit anti-American and the media is so biased and liberal that they would like to see America d**ned.
VOTE MCCAIN. Let us not make the mistake once again of voting a man into office who will not keep America strong. Remember Carter. We all hung our heads in shame when every night our blindfolded hostages were paraded before the world while held hostage in Iran. That is when Night Line was started. Every night we were reminded that we were the whimps of the world. It took the election of President Reagan to restore our dignity and strength.

No, it wouldn't, because it is done all the time. Yeah, by the Democrat bloggers and usual suspects. You don't hear about it because I know of no Republican or conservative comedian. Other than Dennis Miller, I know of no others, and he didn't come up with a remark like that.
Bixby, where have you been. This blog is full of disgraceful, filthy statements by those opposed to Obama.

As far as I can tell, it did create a small amount of buzz, but he was a comic performing in front of an audience, and it was a laugh line. And, quite frankly, I agree with him...for her to say the things was wrong, and she basically said so herself....so, I guess Stewart was correct in being offended.
The problem is that the right wing has been very good at the whole "real America" bit, implying that if you don't agree with them that you are not one....but most politicians and pundits were smart enough to make it a bit more subtle than that.
It is like that idiot congresswoman who called for investigations into anti-American legislators, and then tried to plead she didn't know what she was getting into when she went on a show called...."Hardball". Let's ignore the fact that she is a minor-league media whore on her own, with 30 apperances on the various talk shows....what did she expect, a review of the Phillies-Rays series?
Excellent game last night, by the way. I have to get up at 5, so I hate staying up that late...but well worth it.

Can you imitate someone else other than RR every now and then. Diversity is the spice of life.

What is your point? I've heard expletives used by people on all 4 of the people on the national ticket?
He doesn't like Palin; does that surprise you? He was deeply offended by her words (words, of course, that she took back, sort of...why do you think that was?) that only certain types of people were "Real Americans". Yes, it was coded ,and yes, it was for "her" supporters, but it was uncalled for.
I agree with what he said.
