Well that didnt't take long. Not long to get the Barack Obama talking points into the media bloodstream, not long to show CNN competing hard with MSNBC for the hardcore Obama vote.
CNN's John Roberts went to work on John McCain's VP choice, Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, this morning, as reported by Newsbusters' Lyndsi Thomas. Roberts dismissed her:
She's only been in office for a couple of years now, which really raises the experience issue here.
But lookee here: What Roberts said mirrors the attack line from the Obama campaign! This is verbatim from Bill Burton, an Obama flack:
Today, John McCain put the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.
Is that a coincidence? Or is it simply the way CNN does business? I report, you decide.
But TCG will offer a special prize to any Cable Gamer who discovers that John Roberts, or anyone else at CNN, has ever said of Obama (sworn in as a US Senator on January 3, 2005), "He's only been in office for a couple of years now, which really raises the experience issue here."
