CNN: up and down again.

What's disappointing about the Situation Room's editing (of George Allen's Racist comment) is that they cut off the two statements -- "Macaca" and "welcome to America. . . " allowing Allen's defense to seem plausible to the average non-blogosphere-reading viewer.

It's this context that keeps Allen's hopes alive. Compare this to the coverage on the other networks -- including of course Fox, and see how hard the Media tries to side with whitey over any minority, without being open or honest about the spin.

But that's just me reading phonemes and such into this. The MSM (ugh) is much too vapid, right? Until Cafferty has his spot, which I'm looking for now ...

Here is George Allen's racial slur in full. (CrooksandLiars has a lot more)

No. Chuck Roberts, an anchor on that same channel actually has more than an ounce of character, enough to humble himself, and apologized to Ned Lamont for the "Al Qeada Comment."

Kudos to Roberts. Let's hope he conitnues on this path.
