yep, example of your liberal media at work;-)

You know, I was going to comment on Atrios's post along the lines of "Keep his seat warm? What makes you think he'll be leaving?"

But I thought that was too stupid.

you can't even find cnn on the timewarner channel line-up -- it used to be ch 10 ... now it's 78. hell, cspan has better placement. lol.

Are you still a whore if some of your work is unpaid?

I can't get really worked up about this. It's not like he pretends to be an unbiased observer of politics. Carville and Begala are also on CNN a lot and it's not too far fetched to say they have some influence within the DNC. I'm okay with shills who's affiliations are well known. It's the steath shills on TV that bother me.

SP,

To answer your question, no, you're a slut.

Many people hold down two jobs. Why should you assume that he will be less effective at CNN because he has a second job?

I have always thought that as the world got stoopider and stoopider and crazier and crazier that Wolf Blitzer is probably the Master of the Universe.

I'm pretty sure this latest news fits right into that theology...

Gee, I didn't know Castellanos was such a ratings' hit.

The decline of CNN continues...

At times like this I really miss "Media Whores Online." Remember them?

Oy. I didn't learn until recently that Alex Castellanos is the same guy who's responsible for that race-baiting hatchet job on Democrat Harvey Gannt when he challenged neo-Confederate Sen. Jesse Helms (R-Cold Mountain): "You needed that job. You were the best qualified. But they gave it to a minority ..."

(Sigh!) And yet, some people will still wonder why I'd rather tune into the BBC.

Is an unpaid whore underemployed, according to the DOL?

Damned "state-run" media

It's all an ACORN/Rockefeller plot

As the politician once said to the prostitute, "Amateurs are ruining both of our professions." These days, an amateur can't even afford to get into the game.

YES...Media Whores Online. The Horse.
Fond, fond memories.

Once again...no wonder CNN is in last place. I wish Sirius would drop them and pick up MSNBC. I can't stand listening to CNN, but I can't be cutoff from news. Half of all thier stories last week were about Sarah Palin. They have failed as a news organization. It's a damn shame, they used to be good.

Oh well as long as he's not getting paid to advise the Republican National Committee on how best to exploit his mole status at CNN, then I guess there's no ethics problem!

If he were taking money for that sort of thing, now that would raise some questions.

CNN...Corporate News Network is now officially RNC approved.

At times like this I really miss "Media Whores Online." Remember them?

Who could forget? They are much missed, especially now as the media seems to be devolving by the hour these days.

I never watch cable, so my question is: how is Castellanos introduced when he's on CNN?

Here in Boston, the NPR affiliate often has on a couple of unemployed campaign consultants - one Republican, one Democratic, and always both together - to spin the horseraces in local politics. If one of them is working for an active candidate, they get replaced, to avoid that sort of bias and conflict of interest, but their partisan affiliations, and indeed biases, are made completely clear. And although it does amount to advertising their consulting businesses, I don't think an ethical line is being crossed in having regular appearances from a Republican hack - so long as they're explicitly labelled as such. Although I dunno why CNN would pay them, when plenty of other interchangeable partisan hacks would kill to appear for free.

Now Castellanos, the individual, with his history of racist appeals, is objectionable. But the idea of having a go-to house Republican hack seems fine to me, so long as it's prominently labelled and reasonably balanced. Of course, the important goal should be to downplay the sort of horserace coverage and he said/she said "debate" and actually cover real news and real policy.

Where's the outrage on this?!! If the roles reversed and Castellanos was a Democrat working for Tim Kaine at the same time as working at CNN, Republicans would turn it into a major issue.

CNWho? Oh, that rag?

"You needed that job. And you were the best qualified. But they gave it to the communications adviser for the Republican National Committee..."

huh.. informative style )

well.. it's like I thought!

mm. amazing post!

Good Day. For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation. Help me! I can not find sites on the: Student loan consolidation center. I found only this - sc student loan. If you have a american conference home, you'll take up repaying more, student loan. Student loan, for available scholars, these year-olds are trustworthy in early and many in good admissions. Thanks for the help :cool:, Peter from Croatia.
