Flipping through the TV options this morning and I came upon this descriptive preview of Candy Crowley's Sunday morning talker on CNN:
9-10a State of the Union/Crowley: White House senior advisor David Axelrod; Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.); Reps. Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) and Jim McDermott (D-Wash.); former National Intelligence director Dennis Blair. (Talk)
Nice lineup. We've got the man paid to sell Obama policies, the liberal Democratic Senate second banana, a very liberal Democratic congressman from the Congressional Black Caucus, a very liberal Democratic congressman from Washington, and a man whose job was to implement Obama policies.
The country just had a ground-shifting election, one that I'm quite sure surprised and puzzled the management at CNN, and CNN can't find a single moderate, let alone conservative, whose opinion is worth airing? Are they not at all interested in understanding that shift? Perhaps CNN just doesn't want the people to hear the contrarian positions? I'm sure the questioning of these individuals will be just as challanging as if they were Sarah Palin.
Balance.
12/12/10 1000: CBS' Face The Nation is no better. The lineup?
