Tell CNN to get the facts right on Pelosi trip

For much of the past week, CNN and its White House correspondent Suzanne Malveaux have offered a steady stream of inaccurate and incomplete coverage of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's (D-CA) trip to the Middle East and her April 3 meeting with Syrian President Bashar Al-Assad.

Please join Media Matters for America in demanding that CNN and Malveaux stop misinforming viewers about Pelosi's trip and present all the facts. CNN's contact information can be found in our "Take Action!" sidebar on the right.

Since April 2, Malveaux has wrongly and repeatedly claimed that Pelosi had no "standing" and was not acting in an "official capacity," has attacked the trip as "political theater" and a "political stunt," and has parroted the Bush administration's attacks on Pelosi for going to Syria while ignoring the fact that a Republican-led delegation met with Assad on April 1. Most recently, Malveaux asked whether Pelosi's trip was a "big wet kiss to President Al-Assad."

Other CNN personalities have joined in as well. Lou Dobbs devoted an entire segment to "Pelosi's bad trip," while the April 3 edition of Anderson Cooper 360 featured a segment on Pelosi's trip titled "Talking to Terrorists."

1. Will do so.

But, in the end, CNN is just another Fox "news" channel.

2. No kidding. Can we add MSNBC to the list?

I am sooooo sick of these LIES. Tucker is a fullblown, corporate Republican FOOL!!! Does he really think the BS he spews is newsworthy? When he claimed the Washington Post was a LIBERAL newspaper I almost gagged! Did he mention Issa's trip to Syria and his dogging the Pres? Hell no. God. I despise these people. FWIW- Hillary Rosen is a shill. I'm sick of imposters posing as Democrats. Period.

4. Done! Good job, Nancy.

5. "Bad Trip"... Get it? She's from San Francisco!

Har, Har, Har, Hee, Hee, Hee.

Nevermind the fact that the Republican Party has been a giant clusterfuck with regards to peace in that region, whereas Bill Clinton had more diplomatic competence in his pinkie (or any other appendage) than the Entire Bush Administration.

8. I sent two letters: one to Lou and one to Anderson

It's easy.... you should do it right now and see.
