Poll question: Vote: Who Is the Biggest CNN "Media Whore"/Bush-sympathizer?
CNN has been trying to reach Fox News pro-Republican status as of late, as many of you have surely noticed.

But which of their anchors/personalities/"reporters" are the most biased towards Republicans--and the most dangerous to real reportership and democracy?

2. Candy brings a "groupie" cast to her WH reporting

"Dulce", indeed! Paula is sooo insipid , it's scarey. Juuudy ,Judy, Judy, has more influence, but less obvious than the groupie, or the fox girl.

4. Crowley and Schneider both suck bigtime up to Bush
and could not contain their glee when Bush was stealing the election and their frustration when Gore looked like he might get it back during the recount.

I will never forget their selling out so clearly - it was in their faces and demeanor.

5. Crowley, without a doubt...

She actually got in trouble by the Washingtong Post for being too obviously biased towards Republicans.

Now, of course, CNN put her in charge of covering Democratic candidates. I can just imagine her breathless nightly status reports to KKKarl.

6. 3-way tie -- Zahn, Crowley, Schneider
Blitzer barely missed the cut.

8. I voted for Zahn
but I found out not long ago that it was John King who was behind the "Clinton Gets $200 Haircut on AF1" debacle. That alone should have ended his career (except he could always go to Faux). Everyone on the list deserves a vote with the exception of Anderson Cooper.

9. I agree..
I've noticed that the only one I actually like is Anderson Cooper. He actually seems to have a lot of decency and he conducted himself very well at the Dem debates. His show isn't all that bad, either.

I'm surprised Blitzer isn't getting more votes. But he's more of a cartoonish caricature of the media world, more than anything.

ie. something along the lines of what he would say when citing his online poll: "85% of visitors to my website said that Bush is doing a poor job--but this is not, I repeat, this is not, NOT, NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT, I repeat, NOT, a scientific poll."

10. Anderson Cooper is gay
He's probably the most progressive on the air currently.
And he does alot of fair gay stories.

Snieder on the other hand as a title of Sr. Political Analyst

I call him a partisan polling pudit.

11. As BartCop says, "Why do you think...
... they call her 'Candy?'"

But I am surprised that Bill Schneider -- a man who makes even Howie "Married to the VRWC" Kurtz seem unbiased -- has garnered so few votes.

And why wasn't Frank Newport, CNN's resodent Gallup shill, included? I swear, give him a pair of sunglasses and Newport could play Agent Smith in any of the various Matrix flicks.

14. Why's Anderston Cooper on the 'b' list?
What has he done thats so whorish? He deserves to stand alongside King and Brown.

15. Tony "The Hutt" Fattley is not on the CNN dole
... but he's always a riot on The McLaughlin Group (or as the wags at APJ call it, "McLaugh-In").
