Why were Senate democrats so silent about the NARAL ad that lied about the record of Judge John Roberts? Accuracy in Media revealed that the Democratic media company behind the ad handled the three biggest Senate Democratic wins in 2002-Mark Pryor, Tim Johnson, and Mary Landrieu. The ad, running on CNN despite charges that it is false and deceitful, accused Roberts of supporting anti-abortion terrorism.
AIM also revealed that CNN had a conflict of interest in running the ad because NARAL has been funded by CNN founder Ted Turner, a current board member of CNN parent company Time Warner.
NARAL’s media company, Struble Eichenbaum Communications, boasted that “Our record defeating Republican incumbents is unmatched,” and has deep connections to prominent liberal Democratic Senators, including Patty Murray, who says, “:they’ll help you win.”
One of the firm’s founders, Karl Struble, began his career as a Democratic Party operative for Jimmy Carter and was a media consultant to Tom Daschle, who lost his Senate re-election race last year. Struble, who is said to emphasize feelings over issues in his political commercials, has referred to George W. Bush as “the president of the big oil companies” and Dick Cheney as “the Vice President from Halliburton.”
Another fascinating aspect to this controversy is that the NARAL propaganda blitz was preceded by a puff piece in the New York Times about NARAL Executive Director in New York, Kelli Conlin, a 46-year-old lesbian and the mother of two-year-old twins. Conlin, a former President of the New York City Chapter of the National Organization for Women, holds a Masters of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University in Illinois and a B.A. from Saint Mary’s College, Notre Dame, Indiana.
CNN’s Conflict of Interest

The Libs wonder why CNN is called the “Clinton News Network” and the “Communist News Network”. They also should be called the “(Terrorist) Collaborator News Network”.
They are just typical Liberal/Progressive sellouts. Remember the CNN anchor who wouldn’t answer questions after leaving Baghdad after the start of the first Gulf War? CNN doesn’t hire people who have any patriotism towards the US.
I was shocked when I read this:wink:
CNN is also the CASTRO NEW NETWORK as well and wonder where is big bad wolf blitzer these days? is he after the 3 little piggies? then he better be carful of the pot of boiling water the piggies are ready for wolf soup:lol:
