The Failed Pacifist

CNN: Pushing the Agenda

Here's the caption under a front page photo of Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid standing next to Supreme Court nominee Harriet Miers:

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid praised Miers' courtroom experience.

Now here's the actual quote in the story:

"I like Harriet Miers," Reid said in a statement. "As White House counsel, she has worked with me in a courteous and professional manner. I am also impressed with the fact that she was a trailblazer for women as managing partner of a major Dallas law firm and as the first woman president of the Texas Bar Association."

Funny, I don't see any praise of courtroom experience.

This is the same CNN, owned by Time Warner, which recently hired Tom Delay's Chief of Staff, Tim Berry, as a top lobbyist in Washington D.C.
