Liberal Bias? CNN Anchor Soledad O'Brien Accused By Right Wing

CNN anchor Soledad O'Brien struck back at critics who objected to her reading from a document printed from what they called a liberal website -- yet not citing her source -- while interviewing an operative for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney on the topic of Medicare. O'Brien was substitute-hosting on Anderson Cooper 360 on Monday when she was seen flipping through a story from the website Talking Points Memo during a segment with Romney campaign adviser Barbara Comstock. Conservative media, most notably Rush Limbaugh, mocked the news anchor for what they perceived to be a journalistic transgression.

  • We need to completely dismantle our Mainstream Media. What a joke it has become in the last couple of decades. What is sad is that there are millions of people in our country that buy 100% what bullshit CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS and even FOX are spewing.

    What ever happened to Just the facts? Don't tell us what to think, give us the facts and we can make up our own minds.

  • Fred Flintstone and a smarmy emo girl who wipes off the black lipstick and nail polish right before the 'show'. Wonder how much the DNC gives these hicks? And who are the goofs who sit behind them. Is that the 'control' center? LOL. I'm sure they play nintendo during the cutaway sequences.

    Must say, though, Soledad is kinda hot. Like the pearl necklace and would love to give her one of my own.

  • The most liberal show defending the liberal media. They need to find a story they can maintain credibility reporting.

  • I have been watching her for months now in the morning and she is indeed biased. She constantly interrupts Republicans and and has a sneering smile when challenging them, but she never interrupts Democrats.

  • "CNN. Two of its new shows are struggling. “Starting Point” the 7-9am morning show with Soledad O’Brien is putting up the lowest numbers for the time period since “American Morning” launched 10 years ago."

    There is a reason why only 67,000 people between the ages of 25- 54 watch her show

  • Dude she's a liberal mouthpiece, if you think she doesn't have a liberal bias you're out of your fucking mind. Watch her interview with Joel Pollack it was pathetic

    • @The Grim

      Ah yes. The Critical Race Theory meltdown interview. That was a classic. He made O'Brien look really bad on that one. I still laugh.

    • @Pretzel-Logic Yeah he did a good job in that interview. She completely bitched and moaned in her defense of Obama and it was sad to watch.

    • @Pretzel-Logic Not only that, she writes it on her twitter that she's reading Derek Bell's book and that everyone else should check it out. The way she was defending Bell and Obama's relationship was disgusting.
