Breaking: CNN's Stunning One-Sided Coverage of Health Care Summit

In a stunning display of one-sided coverage, during the first three hours of coverage of the Health Care Summit televised so far, CNN only interrupted, whether for commercial or comment, Democratic speakers.

mediapolitic's diary :: :: Yes, I could have watched the first three hours on C-SPAN, but I was interested in the balance of coverage.

I was stunned.

In the first three hours televised so far, CNN interrupted:

1.Pres. Obama (D) for a Chantax / Pfizer commercial
2.Rep. Steny Hoyer (D) (entire speech) for a Liberator medical device ad as well as an ad by American Future Fund featuring a lipstick-wearing pig which advocated "Tell Congress Start Over and Get Health Care Right."
3.Pres. Obama (D) for ads (including an ad by the Oil and Gas Industry)
4.Sen. Max Baucus (D-sorta) for ads
5.Rep. Robert Andrews (D) (entire speech) for comment
6.Sen. Chuck Schumer (D) for ads
7.Pres. Obama (D) for ads including another one by Pfizer
