The LA Times Goes After CNN...

Not just goes after the network but calls it corrupt......not for stacking the deck with dubious questioners during the recent Republican debate, but for asking too many questions about immigration.
You see for the Times the immigration question is a non issue and so for CNN to take it so seriously must mean that the network has some dark hidden motive; in this case the answer is........Lou Dobbs.
The answer is that CNN's most popular news-oriented personality, Lou Dobbs, has made opposition to illegal immigration and free trade the centerpiece of his neonativist/neopopulist platform. In fact, Dobbs led into Wednesday's debate with a good solid dose of immigrant bashing. His network is in a desperate ratings battle with Fox News and, in a critical prime-time slot, with MSNBC's Keith Olbermann. So, what's good for Dobbs is good for CNN.


Not that the vetting issue wasn't brought up...
Beside considerations like these, CNN's incompetent failure to weed out Democratically connected questioners pales.

See, there you go....one sentence in a piece of over 1200 words.
