CNN's Bill Schneider re-cast Manchurian Candidate ...
... with NewsMax.com directing

On the August 5 edition of CNN's Judy Woodruff's Inside Politics, CNN senior political analyst Bill Schneider repeated commentary from "one conservative website" but never said the website's name: NewsMax.com. In his report on the parallels between the recently released remake of The Manchurian Candidate and present-day politics, Schneider perpetuated -- without offering refutation -- the suggestion that Senator Hillary Clinton (D-NY) was the inspiration for the "villain" character, played by Meryl Streep. Yet Streep told The New York Times that she based the character of Eleanor Shaw on former Bush adviser Karen Hughes, Senator Elizabeth Dole (R-NC), conservative pundit Ann Coulter, Wall Street Journal columnist Peggy Noonan, former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, and former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.

1. In other words, Bill Schneider lies for his Bushevik Masters
Well, just color me as SHOCKED as the day when Soviet Pravdas condemned capitalism!

These Free-Market Stalinists are quite odious and up front with their Totalitarian Lies!
