Video: Jack Hunter calling out Dana Bash on Freedom Watch 1/12

[papitosabe]

I'm going to defend Dana. Here's what I think she was trying to say... "I'm sure you talk to Republicans, just like I do, who are worried..."

She didn't mean she was worried along with Republicans. She meant she was talking to them just like John King was talking to them. Having been on the air, I know what it's like to try and keep your thoughts and mouth coordinated especially when you're not reading from a script.

I'm not saying she and the media aren't biased. Hell, maybe she is worried. But I'm willing to cut her some slack on this one. I think this is one of those gotcha controversies that make people (us in this case) look petty.

I would give her benefit of the doubt on that statement. However, when she tried to do a gotcha moment the other day and Jesse Benton interrupted and stopped the interview - she was wrong. She even wrote a crappy article that same morning.

and didn't she also have (2) separate instances where CNN "lost feed" ..when where the soldier was about to talk about Israel handling themselves..and a separate incident where she was talking to Wolf on another RP story...they always lose feed w/uncle Ron

Anyone else smells an endorsement from Sen. Jim DeMint before SC primary?

I'm tweeting him every day to urge him to do that. He's only got until the night before the primary to fish or cut bait. He needs to choose his identity. He could potentially be a historical figure of immense stature in the cause of human liberty. Or he could turn his back and decide to be an establishment pig.

It's up to him, and he needs to decide who he really is. Waiting until after the SC primary would be a transparent act of cowardice and put him on my do-not-trust list.

Why the hell did the Judge not take over Glenn Beck's time slot instead of giving it to two empty skirts and three empty suits to form the Five?

Use the valid points pointing out her bias and drop the stupid gotchas when someone simply mis-speaks. Otherwise, RP could be nailed every other day. Chris Wallace had to correct him when he said desegregation instead of segregation. Chris could have had a nice soundbite of Paul sounding racist but he didn't because he knew that's not what Paul meant to say.

The dropped feed thing shows your bias. Feeds drop all the time. But you only care about it when it happens during something your interested in.

meh...I don't think you can discount why there would be a bias...big stretch, but the fact she's stated she has a strong religious faith and the fact she is jewish american may show for some bias...if I was a reporter and the I was interviewing a candidate that wasn't interested in supporting my home country, I would definitely be biased...there has been 2 instances where there has been a "dropped feed" when its a Ron Paul story...then she clearly says she's worried, (which I think was a freudian slip) plus you can see where her questioning doesn't seem fair when talking to RP ...maybe I'm wrong, if it was one instance, ok..but its been a several in a short span...so there seems to be a conflict of interest on her part...so its not off base in many's opinion to discuss the issue.... its clearly a huge discussion that there is a bias in the media and conflict of interest when it applies to this issue or the military industrial complex...

I agree. I do think there is a bias as you would think the media would be eating up a storyline of an anti-establishment candidate making the kind of progress that Ron Paul has made but they so downplay or dismiss the story so much that it has to be a bias.

However, I think the dropped feed was a coincidence and the statement was just a live report where she used incorrect grammar which is completely understandable. My 2 cents anyways.

He doesn't have the balls to stand on principle and endorse Paul. He is looking out for his career, the man endorsed Romney in 2008 over Paul...where was his small government rhetoric then?
