CNN plans ‘View from the Right’ election special, but no ‘View from the Left.’»

Today, CNN announced that it will be hosting a one-hour special this weekend called “Election Countdown: View from the Right,” featuring prominent right-wing pundits. However, it doesn’t appear that there will be a corresponding special featuring progressive voices. From the CNN press release:

On Saturday, Nov. 1, at 5 p.m. (ET), CNN political contributor and Christian Broadcasting Network senior correspondent David Brody will host the one-hour special Election Countdown: View from the Right. This roundtable discussion will examine the strength of the McCain-Palin ticket, the priorities for conservatives after the election and top issues on voters’ minds, including national security and the economy. Brody will be joined by Amanda Carpenter, national political reporter for Townhall.com; Brian DeBose, editorial writer for The Washington Times; Stephen Hayes, senior writer for The Weekly Standard; and Kevin Madden, Republican strategist and former press secretary for Gov. Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign.

UpdateCNN has hosted at least five other election specials in the past two months, including three by Obama supporter and CNN contributor Roland Martin (Sept. 13, 20, 27) and two by conservative CNN contributor Bill Bennett (Oct. 3, 10). However, none of them exclusively featured viewpoints of progressives.

2. Obama had to BUY his 30 minutes of airtime. CONservative Nazi Network gives McCain/GOP theirs FREE

ONE HOUR's worth on primetime.

WHERE is that "liberal media" again?

Pffft!

3. CNN is utterly shameless -- they apparently no longer care...

...about even making a pretense at fair coverage.

4. Thus the need to reinstate the Fairness Doctrine

It should be a top priority of the new Democratic congress. The airwaves belong to the PUBLIC, after all, not the increasingly fascistic "communications" corporations.
