MediaWeek provides some useful scoop about CNN's plans for the upcoming election coverage. It seems that AARP, the liberal-leaning senior citizens' lobby, is planning on being the exclusive sponsor for "The Situation Room" in the week prior to Election Day. Is this because Wolf Blitzer has white hair? Is it because the CNN audience is old? Those are two possible answers, but another is that AARP recognizes CNN as an ally for the Democratic Party. Some more useful info about AARP can be found here. The bottom line is that the AARP is a loyal adjunct to the Democratic Party. And since CNN, too, is a loyal adjunct to the Democratic Party, it only makes sense that the two loyal adjuncts have found each other. Together, they no doubt hope to make beautiful political music for the Democrats.
