Thank God for the legions of extremely professional, brilliantly attentive fact checkers in Professional Journalism who rigorously maintain the sanctity of Truth unlike those lowly pajama-wearing bloggers.

I was in the CRs in college, and this offends me. We were definitely a minority on campus. I remember we lost our club room. Somehow I’m not surprised CNN took the easy way out. Just one more reason I refuse to watch the Communist News Network.

I love the L.A. Times headline that states this guy is “allegedly” phony. He’s been confirmed to be speaking a lie. Yet, until we know for sure, he could very well be a Republican who isn’t a member of the College Republicans talking ill about the Republican Presidential Candidate.

Keep hope alive.

They usually cover a story 1-3 days after I’ve already read it online.

That is because the msm must verify their sources.

Surely you jest.

Is this any surprise? CNN has become the New Barack Channel – All Barack, All The Time.

Like Porn.

Perhaps you are unable to see the humor here because you, and most Obama supporters, lack a sense of humor? If I say Bushitler four times fast, does that make you laugh?

Hey, nice logo! “The Best Party on Campus”. Really a snappy line which I’m sure attracts really swell kids to the cause! Wonder if the RNC thought that up? I know if I were in college and I saw this it would be almost impossible for me to resist signing up! I mean, how could one not? I’d be afraid of being left out of “The Best Party on Campus”! Really catchy! When dealing with college kids, don’t ever never use humor or satire! Just keep it vanilla! They like stuff like that! Especially when you are trying to attract college Republicans because they are probably the college rubes anyway! They are the ones that live on restricted floors on the college dorms, etc. Brilliant!

I’d be curious to know if Pearlmutter is truly registered as a Republican, as CNN claims.

But let’s be honest here – this ain’t exactly a huge story to begin with.

I wonder how long till CNN runs a story entitled “McCain eats baby live on TV” and then retracts it. What happened to doing research on stories before you aired them. Dan Rather got nothing more then an early retirement and a seat at the lefty table of the gods, I guess people at CNN want to sit next to him.

A CNN spokeswoman now says it was an inadvertent error.

Yes, the mainstream liberal media has been making inadvertent errors like this everyday for about the last thirty years.

“We regret that error."

Translation: We stuck our foot in it and we're sorry we got caught

"We have invited Ben Myers, the president of the USC College Republicans organization, to appear on ‘American Morning’ at a future time."

Translation: Don't hold your breath

NRO Larry Kudlow:

Senator John McCain hit a grand-slam homerun today with an op-ed piece (“Take taxpayers off hook for rot at Fannie, Freddie”) that debunks the federal worship of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, and takes off the table the possibility that these GSEs will get a strong dose of steroids if he is elected president. This is a dramatic statement that completely differentiates his view from the go-along, get-along policy of Sen. Obama.

Go, Johnny, Go!

CNN has been doing sloppy work for the last seven years. Yet they give themselves all kinds of awards to make their dumbed down audience think they know what’s happening. Heads should roll at that bogus network.
