>>>not unlike the way Rush says "liberal" these days. I find it very lyrical. But as Jackie Gleason would say "HOW SWEET it IS. Left Outraged by CNN's Courting of Limbaugh Pity the poor liberals. It's bad enough they have to put up with having a conservative in the White House - a place they think is their legitimate personal property - but now they're faced with the spectacle of the head of their personal cable network, CNN, actually talking with - ugh! - Rush Limbaugh. Walter Isaacson, former managing editor of Clinton-friendly Time magazine and now head honcho at CNN - better known as the Clinton News Network - is trying to clean up the network's image, hobnobbing with conservative GOP members of Congress and in general making sounds as if he'd like to transform CNN into something other than the propaganda organ for the Democratic left it's been since Ted Turner hatched it. Moreover, Isaacson knows that one of the reasons Fox Cable News has been running circles around CNN is Fox's much-ballyhooed "fair and balanced" policy of bias-free reporting - a claim his left-leaning CNN can never make without provoking gales of laughter. As part of the campaign to wash the liberal stains off his new empire, he's gone so far as to approach Limbaugh with an eye toward snagging the nation's leading conservative commentator. Wow! Listen to them howl over there on the left: "Is it too early to start calling for Walter Isaacson to resign as head of CNN? Or should we wait until next week when he'll probably head up to the Hill for another round of bitch slapping at the hands of Tom DeLay?" asked an agonized columnist Joshua Micah Marshall. "NOW activists are letting CNN know that they don't have to sink to the level of the Fox News Channel to win viewers. There is still a place for responsible journalism on TV and Rush Limbaugh is neither responsible nor a journalist," shrieked National Organization for Women President Kim Gandy, as if a large mouse had just run across her desk. It's "another sign that the network's plan seems to involve amplifying conservative voices on the channel," sobbed the absurdly amed Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, whose idea of fairness and accuracy in reporting is to report always from the left side of the street and avoid the right side like poison. But these people needn't worry. The word is that Rush isn't going anywhere near CNN. To begin with, they can't afford him. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee
