Oh C'mon LA Times

A long editorial about CNN employing Donna Brazile.

Brazile unquestionably behaved in a duplicitous manner, and CNN was right to be upset. But the bigger problem, arguably, is that she and a raft of other political operatives from both major parties had contracts with CNN in the first place.

All the networks, including the "big three" with their Sunday shows have a panel with members clearly identified as partisan. Yesterday on CNN, there was David Axelrod and today, on ABC there was Alex Castellanos.

Chris Matthews often has Hugh Hewitt..

So why jump on Brazile? Yes, if she leaked questions - how did she have them? - she should be fired. But to jump on CNN for hiring her in the first place?

Were they irate earlier with Lewandowski and the other THREE people hired by CNN to promote the vulgar talking yam? This is what irritates me. If the right does it with impunity, it's okay, but ONE Dem does something shady, then it is time to run for the fainting couch and feign outrage. I see that Lewandowski is mentioned in the article, but Brazile is the reason for the article.
