Bias at its worst
The reason CNN loses the ratings game consistatly
Not so reliable after all
A couple of weeks ago Howard soft-peddled CNN's horrible coverage of the Boston bombing and instead pointed the finger at all the other media outlets. This week there is the big brouhaha over Howard's factually inaccurate, anti-gay column about NBA player Jason Collins. I just can't listen to this podcast anymore. I've unsubscribed.
Where?????
Is the same person that's in charge of uploading Real Time responsible here too?
