CNN's Daryn Kagan Laughs Off The Libby Charges

[Presstitutes]

http://www.presstitutes.com/presstitutes/2005/11/cnns_daryn_kaga.html

CNN, a growing embarrassment to America, continues in its shameful ways, with Daryn Kagan interviewing Howard Dean about the Libby indictment during the 10am EST hour and shrugging it off with an asinine question about whether Dems are "imploding" because "all you have" is some lying about what Libby said to reporters.

She then interviews a GOP hack and asks "tough" questions to balance the Dean interview. The problem with this bogus fairness is that the questions to Dean were absurdly unrealistic while the questions to the Republican were accurate reflections of our political reality.

Kagan then brings on fellow Pre$$titute Bill Schneider to ask why this can be spun as the Democrats imploding or the Republicans imploding.

Only in your twisted mind, Ms. Kagan, can an indictment of a senior White House official over matters related to national security be 'spun' as the Democrats imploding. Uggh.

1. She's a poor excuse for a "journalist"

CNN is a poor excuse for a cable news channel.

[Roxy66]

10. With Aaron Brown gone...they have zero credibility

with the exception of Jack Cafferty

[WiseButAngrySara]

17. I agree. n/t

[mmonk]

26. journalist?

*cough*cough*

[Greeby]

2. Word is CNN is gonna ditch her

They don't wanna be that closely associated with the Pigman

[Norquist Nemesis]

12. Now that would be cause for celebration!

:woohoo: :party: :toast:

[panichol]

14. I'm quite sure she will get a new job

Rush will be happy to hire her if she is willing to help him with his self-promotion.

[Norquist Nemesis]

16. Absolutely! She won't be on the UE line

and going to pitch propaganda with Rush is where she belongs. She should at least be honest about it.

Welcome to DU. Nice to have you! :hi:

[panichol]

18. Thanks!

I'm glad to be here!

[madokie]

36. Pull out all the stops, the hats, the whole nine yards.

:party: :toast: :applause: :rofl:

[still_one]

3. frankly she is the one who should be let go instead of aaron brown

her linkage with limbaugh makes her not a good person to report the news

[AlCzervik]

8. huzzah! I had an email war with Eason Jordan about her

i was pissed one day about something she said so i email---never thinking he'd email me back and he did, we went back and forth about 5 times until he finally said "Mrs. ***** we will have to agree to disagree" Apparently he used to carry his blackberry with him everywhere.

[blm]

4. This is what Dems have been up against for a decade now - GOP control of

most broadcast media.

And people wonder why we can't get our message through and blame the message.

It's the MEDIAWHORES who mute our message and spin ANY act against us.

[No Exit]

5. Daryn, how come yo' momma named you after the stupid guy in "Bewitched"?

I mean, sheesh, Daryn, Rush comes from the generation that grew up thinking of "Darrin" as a stupid klutzy guy who looked a little like a monkey. Saying that name while y'all are in bed must make him go all limp. (Unless of course the young Rush had a secret thing for Samantha's husband Darrin.)

Your face is looking gaunt, Daryn. I hope you haven't been snorting oxycontin with Rush.

[LEW]

6. please link to e-mail cnn

I cannot sit here and not e-mail them about Kagan's interview today. I hardly ever e-mail them but have been fuming since I watched this!

[slor]

7. Take comfort in the fact...

that it is we, who will be laughing in the end.

[panichol]

11. Why worry about her?

Anyone who would date Limberger is not someone you should even pay attention to.

[Nite Owl]

9. Anyone remember the guy

who used to be on with her? He was good and when he left is when she really became so bad. It was over a year ago.

[Punkingal]

19. Yup...

I was thinking that as I listened to her this morning. He was good...he went to DC to do local news, but I can't remember his name.

[VolcanoJen]

24. Do you mean Leon Harris?

I loved him!! He now works for WJLA in Washington, DC.

Something about Leon... he used to be able to keep Daryn reigned in a bit more. :-)

I wish he'd come back to CNN so I could watch him every day.

[Cha]

28. Oh YES! Leon was on when I

was still watching cnn("chicken noodle nooze") and I stopped on Nov 6, 2002.

He was Fantastic! I think he had what is known as a conscience.

[VolcanoJen]

33. CNN = "Chicken Noodle Nooze!"

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[Cha]

35. I know..I liked it, too..

that's why it's in quotes cause I stole it from a witty DUer!

[Nite Owl]

41. Thanks guys

he really seemed to be a good person, one of the good ones. Hope he is doing well.

[newyawker99]

32. Bill Hemmer?

[Skidmore]

13. Isn't her daddy associated with Libby through PNAC?

I may be wrong but that is the association I'm making.

[Daphne08]

15. Robert Kagan, NeoCon, is not her father n/t

I don't know if they're related other than that.

[DeepModem Mom]

20. I just called CNN and asked for a correction -- lied to "reporters"???

She said to Howard Dean, with her I'm-so-cute flippancy, that all Libby did was lie to reporters. Hey, Mrs. Limbaugh -- it was a federal grand jury!

[Cha]

30. Thanks for doing that..

What an idiot propagandist.

[shance]

21. She's a presstitude for the racist white privileged males.

Actually they are all presstitutes for the white privileged males who never had to earn anything in their lives.

[zanne]

22. I think it's worse than it looks.

I don't think that most of the reporters on cable TV or otherwise really have a personal opinion about politics, and if they do, they're pretty wishy-washy about it. I think it has ALOT to do with getting ahead (working for the side that's winning). I believe that's why they're sometimes referred to as "media whores". They're for sale.

[underpants]

23. Welcome to DU Presstitute

Love the site. Added to favorites.

Sorry If I haven't welcomed you before. You are a great addition.

[Presstitutes]

34. Thanks!

[Cha]

25. I guess daryn's silly questions

to Dean are better than her boyfriend's rush limbaugh's exploding and calling for the Democrats to be nuked sky high.

[vogonity]

27. And then cut away from Durbin/Reid statement

Durbin was speaking to reporters about the Dems reasons for the secret session and they covered about 30 seconds of his comments.

[Supersedeas]

29. history will judge how the Media propped * up -- Kagan played her role

[otohara]

31. She Blows Rush Limbaugh !!!!

I hope the rumors are true and CNN blows her off - let her go to FAUX

[msu2ba]

37. Which shows the dangers.....

of second-hand OxyContin

:evilgrin:

[Ksec]

38. Is she still banging Rash Limburger?

His putrid stink may be rubbing off on her

[w8liftinglady]

39. That image alone makes me cringe...

[Metta]

40. She/ CNN are just carrying water and currying favor.

Anything else would be dangerous for them. They'd get smacked by Rove's leaden glove.
