On CNN's homepage: "Karl Rove on CIA leak. Live now." Huh???

[DeepModem Mom]

Was CNN misled -- or did they just mislead viewers?


ON EDIT: The misleading teaser has finally been removed. As many know, Wolf Blitzer teased an appearance by Karl Rove, "speaking out," which sounded like he would be talking to him in an exclusive interview. Later it became clear that the appearance was a speech. Only just before parts of the appearance aired, did it become clear that it was a prepared speech before the Federalist Society, broadcast in entirety on CSpan. Blitzer did interview the author of "Bush's Brain" between brief excerpts from the speech, which was a self-congratulatory, right-wing rave -- nothing to do with the CIA leak.

6. If they show a bunch of crazed right-wing lawyers cheering Rove

it's going to turn a lot of people off. I don't think it's going to help Rove in the least.

7. wtf??

I thought the whole insider-crowd was prevented "from commenting on the ongoing..." yadayadayada.

How does he---and CNN---come out with this???

Unethical, all around!

8. Anything to draw attention away from their abysmal failures!

Note to self:

Rove actually bragging about what happened to the Supreme Court in Alabama!

I guess the Atlantic got it wrong, NOT!
