Comments on: Amid Conflict of Interest Questions, Howard Kurtz Knocks CNN – On CNN http://www.mediaite.com/online/amid-conflict-of-interest-questions-howard-kurtz-knocks-cnn-on-cnn/ Mediaite Fri, 10 Feb 2012 21:42:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=2012.06 By: TfT http://www.mediaite.com/online/amid-conflict-of-interest-questions-howard-kurtz-knocks-cnn-on-cnn/#comment-8407 TfT Mon, 02 Nov 2009 21:22:29 +0000 http://www.mediaite.com/?p=41048#comment-8407 I think Howie is pretty unrealiable personally. Sure he dings CNN on occassion, but hardly at the same level he dings FNC and MSNBC. Just the other day when discussing the big meet at the WH with a gaggle of lefties (including Maddow and Olbermann) Howie claimed that it wasn't all lefties in the group -- it included Gloria Borger! LOL Howie claims Gloria as an even handed straight up analyst; anyone who has ever watched or listened to Gloria knows better than that. Furthermore, Howie never talks about the panels on his own network with the likes of Carville and Begalla who to this day write solicitation letters on behalf of the DNC. I'm glad to see this getting some attention. Howie needs to take on the biases of his own network, which are obvious, despite Klein's attempt to suggest the network does "real journalism". Although Howie did mention that CNN took some flack for fact checking the SNL skit, he pretty much gave them a pass and indeed didn't even mention Wolf Blitzer's name when he discussed it, yet it was on Blitzer's show. And hey, I won't even mention the lack of even handedness of Jack Cafferty. I think Howie is pretty unrealiable personally.
