To view this bit of unprecidented journalistic malpractice go here:

After viewing this outrageous bit of extreme bias in a CNN Headline news anchor please write directly to CNN using their OWN CNN comments form at link below and demand that CNN FIRE CHUCK ROBERTS, Let them know that if no serious action is taken beyond asking him to apologize you will stop watching CNN forever.:

If CNN is allowed to get away with this with nary a peep of outrage from members of the politically active Center and Left of this nation, then no one who considers themselves that should ever again complain about the terrible treatment of the liberal/progressive perspective.
The excuse being given for this mistake is the patronizing one we've come to expect.
Chuck was just rushed, and didn't have time to think about his question sufficiently to recognize just how outrageous it was.
The question and the set up for it, was so extensive, and so obviously unnacceptable, that such an excuse simply does not cut it.
Even if it were absolutely the truth, we need to demand more from CNN, if we expect to be treated fairly.
Such a complete collapse of journalistic standards accidental or otherwise canNOT be forgiven so easily.
I still cannot believe any reporter would ask such a question, and I say this after becoming used to Wolfe Blitzer asking the rare liberal or progressive that appears on his show, a question drawn directly from Repugnican talking points.
Wolfe's worst Repugnican talking point inspired questions canNOT compare to what Chuck Roberts question.
At the very least, Chuck Roberts should be suspended, and CNN the Network should issue an apology for this happening on their network, and also make it clear they absolutely do not agree.
As a side note, I will give credit to the Democratic Party for alterting me to this. HOWEVER, I only give a little bit of credit. How they did it, cost them whatever credit they would have earned.
True to their chicken sh***t form, they did NOT name the reporter who actually referred to Ned Lamont as the Al Qaeda candidate.
I found out by using google.
Also typical of a Democratic Spokesman, the man to whom Chuck Roberts posed this idiotic, unfair question to, didn't even blink an eye in response to the question.
He treated it as legitimate. This is the absolute worst thing anyone can do when asked such a question.
For by treating such an atrocious question as legitimate we legitimize it. The proper response would have been to call Chuck Roberts on it, demand he explain himself and insist he correct himself before going further.
I doubt if the Democrats will ever learn though. I mean to put such a dimbulb as a spokesman for the party on TV in the first place was a mistake. Yet they do it all the time.
