OK, so some people aren't going to like me diaring this, because justmy2 wrote about Sen vitter lying to Anderson Cooper. Now he is on Paula Zahn's peddling the same lies. I want to put this in another diary because I think it's important. Is CNN actively helping the admin shift the blame to the state/local level? I really don't think this is a stretch.
Everybody here knows that the rove/bartlett cabal is trying mightily to shift blame to the state/local level. That's kind of hard to do when a US Senator gives the federal government an F for it's response. Well in the past 1/2 hour I've seen Sen vitter on CNN twice, each time he was allowed to peddle a lie. In both instances this lie was unchallenged by Cooper/Zahn. Now undoubtedly Anderson Cooper and Paula Zahn can find out what vitter said, it really can't be that hard. Yet neither of them challenged vitter on his statements. Why? When a national politician comes on your show and lies to your face you'd think the host would challenge him, wouldn't you?
