Why is CNN hiring conservative misinformer Bill Bennett?
Take Action!

The weblog TVNewser recently reported that CNN has hired radio host and former Reagan administration Secretary of Education Bill Bennett as a political analyst to replace outgoing conservative columnist Robert D. Novak. According to the report, which CNN would not confirm, Bennett is scheduled to go on air early this year. CNN is reportedly hiring Bennett despite his controversial September 28, 2005, comment on his radio show that "it's true that if you wanted to reduce crime ... you could abort every black baby in this country, and your crime rate would go down."

Bennett has defended his statement with falsehoods. CNN reported on the controversy surrounding Bennett's inflammatory remarks, and Media Matters for America has documented other examples of Bennett advancing conservative misinformation in the national media.

2. A dark day for CNN indeed (and so soon after getting rid of Novak)

At any rate, I can take no stock in the credibility of anyone who preached family values while engaging in degenerate gambling. Anyone who considers betting $800,000 per YEAR to be a form of "relaxation" simply isn't playing with a full deck--if you'll pardon the expression.

3. He told his radio listeners NOT to listen to today's senate hearings. n/t

4. Need any more proof that CNN is right wing propaganda?

They have no integrity or ethics- just turn them off. Or program them off your TV, so that you're not even temped to watch them.

Might as well watch Fox- at least their lies and "analysis" is bald faced.
