CNN host admits he advises Obama

Is it weird that a CNN host serves as an advisor to President Obama? The same reporter who seems to attack Glenn on a fairly regular basis? Glenn and the radio guys sure though Fareed Zakaria’s close relationship to the White House was a little odd for the supposedly unbiased reporter.
“Well, it is good to see that CNN keeps their standards so very, very high that they have a guy who is doing a news show that is an advisor for the president,” Glenn said.
“Is somebody in the media going to ask that question to Jay Carney today, let’s see how he stumbles through that answer? I’d like to know because, you know, I don’t know. Seems like they are constantly criticizing, you know, everyone else about their standards,” Stu said.
On his CNN program, Eliot Spitzer asked Fareed, “Look, I read something in the paper this week a couple of days ago that made me bring a smile to my face. It said the president of the United States calls you for wisdom and advice about issues around the world. So first when he calls you, what does he say, hi, Barack, you’re calling for Fareed? What does he do?”
“Mostly it’s been face-to-face meetings. You know, it’s usually organized by Tom Donilon, the National Security Advisor. What I’m struck by, though, honestly, Elliott, is how much time he’s spending thinking about the issues of the Arab strain, particularly the issues of Egypt, how to make it go right, what are the mechanisms that the United States has to help the moderates and liberals. It’s been a very thoughtful conversation. You know, we’ll see where it goes,” Zakaria answered.
