CNN: Say, high-speed rail is an expensive bust, huh?

Ed Morrissey — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 19:21:59 +0000

"The slow trains are just moving a little faster."

Via Andrew Johnson at NRO, this isn’t notable so much for its content — which will come as no surprise to Hot Air readers — as its provenance. This isn’t Fox News or even a right-wing blog site challenging the high-speed rail shibboleth of the Left; it’s CNN and Anderson Cooper. Of course, it’s easy [...]

Jake Tapper leaves ABC, jumps to CNN

Allahpundit — Fri, 21 Dec 2012 01:44:43 +0000

Cable.

Media deck-shuffling isn’t our usual beat but he’s built enough respect among conservatives as an atypically fair reporter that this is worth a post. Alternate headline: “CNN watchable again.” Tapper will anchor a weekday program on CNN. TVNewser hears it will be the 4pmET hour, currently filled by “The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer.” Tapper’s [...]

Video: Mother of State Dep’t worker killed in Benghazi begs White House to stop stonewalling her

Allahpundit — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 02:04:26 +0000

Devastating.

Via the Standard, which has a transcript. You’ve watched a lot of clips about Benghazi today but none of them bring home the anguish of Stevens and his team finding themselves defenseless inside a terrorist maelstrom the way this one does. Her exasperation at the administration is gut-wrenching, all the more so because she met [...]

Video: Mika Brzezinski takes Obama campaign to task for lying about cancer ad

Mary Katharine Ham — Thu, 09 Aug 2012 15:21:46 +0000

Plus: More Burton bumbling.

As they say, it’s not the disgusting Mitt-murder ad that gets you. It’s the disgusting Mitt-murder ad cover-up. Mika does not approve. Allow Allahpundit to walk you through what the Obama campaign knew when. Short version: I’m Stephanie Cutter and I know nothing about this guy and his story, and it’d really make things easier [...]

Video: Team Obama still pretty darned inept at Bain attack

Ed Morrissey — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:41:50 +0000

"We're not questioning the private equity business, in general." "But you are!"

Anderson Cooper interviewed Obama super-PAC chief Ben LaBolt on the new Bain Capital attack strategy, and the only enlightenment that results from the exchange is an understanding of why LaBolt no longer works in the White House media room. LaBolt refused to even acknowledge Cooper’s repeated questions of how Barack Obama and his team can [...]

Video: CNN not exactly buying the War on Wimmenses meme

Ed Morrissey — Sun, 06 May 2012 22:31:12 +0000

"It's only now that it fits your agenda that you're saying it's about women's health."

I missed this a couple of days ago, but reader Mike V brought it to my attention this morning, and it’s definitely worth watching. MoveOn spokesman Justin Ruben appeared on CNN’s Anderson Cooper 360 to amplify their claim that the Republican insistence on using ObamaCare funds to pay for the student-loan subsidy program was just [...]
