Yes, CNN is the worst of the lot.

It ain't called the Clinton News Network for nothing! CNN head Kaplan has been a Clinton media adviser since 1992. How do you think CNN got that exclusive to the last town meeting?

(Ted Turner also has a discount as frequent renter of the Lincoln bedroom).

Notable & Quotable

From an editorial in the Feb.18 Arkansas Democrat-Gazette:

By now it's standard operating procedure: When bad news comes out
about your side, attack the other side for leaking the report.

The spinmeisters at the White House performed the maneuver perfectly
when it was reported that Betty Currie, the president's secretary, had
given testimony to a grand jury that contradicted the president's. Quicker
than Al Gore can discover Controlling Legal Authority, CNN was
broadcasting as much about the leaks as about the substance of Ms.
Currie's testimony. (They don't call it Clinton Network News for nothing.)
The desired effect was achieved: With mud splattered in all directions,
confusion reigned. Followed soon by boredom.
