That's Cong. Duncan Hunter (R-Ca.) speaking out on CNN's pro-sniper story of last week, quoted in a terrific Army Times piece bylined to Rick Maze.
I have noticed something interesting: all the politicians who attack CNN seem to be Republicans. The Democrats, by contrast, don't seem to be saying much. And of course, silence is its own kind of statement.
Which is to say, "Snipergate" could be a useful dividing line in the upcoming election, in which the voters ask the political parties, as well as the news networks, the key question: "Whose side are you on?"
So this news story could turn into an election-turner, in a way that helps Republicans. That would be ironic, since that was not at all CNN's intention.
