CNN Helps Dems Attack Boehner

CNN airs the DNC’s negative ad on Rep. John Boehner (R-OH) and the reporter repeats the claims made in it so his audience is sure to get the full impact of the attack. As an aside, and an attempt at moral equivalence, the reporter then says that the ad was “much like how Republicans are trying to villainize Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA)” but he offers no comparable example of the vilification or any of the substance behind the GOP criticism of Pelosi. The viewer is left with a two-fisted attack on Boehner, both left fists in this case.
