That's the harsh-but-accurate assessment of NewsBuster Scott Whitlock, who scrupulously blogs CNN's long and friendly segment on the British presidential snuff film "Death of a President."
Only on CNN would an anchor--in this case, Miles O'Brien--say to the film's director, "All the buzz surrounding this, I guess that might be good for business, huh?" Right, Miles! Outrageousness sells, especially if it's outrageous Bush-bashing, especially on CNN. And if the topic at hand is a near-criminal encouragement to presidential assassination? Well, as Wolf Blitzer said in regard to the sniper video, when it comes to depicting Americans being killed, CNN sees no reason to apologize.
