Ron Paul Super PAC Calls for Removal of Dana Bash
Revolution PAC condemns bias of top CNN Political Corespondent.

Manchester, NH | January 10, 2012 | On-air comments made by CNN Senior Congressional Correspondent Dana Bash January 2 are being flagged by Revolution PAC for strong personal bias. In the statements, made on the eve of the Iowa Caucuses on “John King USA,” Bash noted her concern about the success of one particular Republican presidential candidate, U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, who is currently polling in strong second position in the Granite State.

“I’m sure you talk to Republicans who are worried as well, just like I am,” Bash offered from New Hampshire, “that Ron Paul will continue on long into the spring and summer … He could really hurt whomever the Republican nominee is because, still, nobody thinks, even if he does well here in New Hampshire, that he will ultimately be the nominee.”

“In America, voters rely on the media to provide objective reporting,” says Revolution PAC Chair Gary Franchi. “Editorializing like this obviously influences public perception and has no place in a hard newscast.”

“Dana Bash’s statements are particularly disturbing,” Franchi continues, “because they fly in the face of established facts. General election polling consistently that Ron Paul – because of his unmatched appeal to independent and disaffected democrat voters – is the only viable candidate against Barack Obama.”

Franchi concludes, “It is clear, when the Paul Camp has to end interviews early with her, that Dana Bash is tainting coverage of this election and deserves a reassignment, call CNN right now at 404-827-1500 and demand it.”

Wow, dumb move IMO. I thought it was pretty clear that she meant "Republicans are scared and think he will go far, just like I think he will go far."

Don't really see the upside to this. Piss off Dana Bash, John King, and all of CNN. They already hate us, yes, but this doesn't help things. I say if you're going to go after CNN, go after the entire network, not just one reporter.

Did you see the interview where Benton had to end it because she was trying a "gotcha" question with the Karen Heller thing?

 

[liveandletlive]

no to personal vendettas, let her do her thing, it only makes us look good that she's attacking and exposing her self

Why clean up the media now? Just expose them. They'll just replace Ms Junk, with Ms Trash.

Her Florida questions were also abusive and were designed to undermine his campaign.

What is dumb about making a protest call over an obvious bias? Your interpretation of what she meant is not mine. I'm going by her actual words and I'd like to know when it became the norm for a correspondent to express their personal feelings -NOT opinion - that's bad enough - but FEELINGS about a candidate they were assigned to cover!

Get used to it. We're a fisty bunch. And the fact that we debate and argue is a testament to our independent spirits.
