Note to David Shuster and Anderson Cooper: GET A ROOM

CNN & MSNBC and the End of Journalism
PoliGazette — Wednesday made clear that two networks - MSNBC and CNN - have truly jumped the shark. They have made a tremendous turn to the left - they did years ago, and especially last year already, of course, but their left-turn has now reached the point it cannot get any worse. The two networks have simply become outlets for the liberal-wing of the Democratic Party, and (therefore) for the White House. Case in point: CNN made fun of the tea party protesters, trying to portray them as crazy idiots, who were told to protest by Fox News. A CNN reporter who attended one of the parties refused to treat the protesters with civility and respect. Sadly for her, however, ...

An obscene insult
Power Line — The star hosts of CNN and MSNBC news shows have notoriously derided the tea party demonstrations around the country with reference to the homosexual practice of teabagging (which I had never heard of before they brought it up).

The Media Research Center detailed the teabagging references in an informative press release. The Huffington Post noted the references as well as more "jokes" in the same vein (including a video of Cooper's jape, over which ...
