No surprise there, CNN has always been the slime-news network of note.

CNN's Rank Dishonesty   [Rich Lowry
<mailto:comments.lowry%40nationalreview.com> ]


Watch this clip <http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/238832.php>  from
a CNN interview with Sarah Palin (I'm assuming nothing of significance has
been edited out by TPM). And then read the context of the quote from Byron's
favorable story on how Palin governed from an issue
<http://nrd.nationalreview.com/article/?q=NzVlNmZmMWQ3YjFkZmNkMjliNTRjNjIwY2
Y1NDA0NzM=> ago:

Watching press coverage of the Republican candidate for vice president, it’s
sometimes hard to decide whether Sarah Palin is incompetent, stupid,
unqualified, corrupt, backward, or — or, well, all of the above. Palin, the
governor of Alaska, has faced more criticism than any vice-presidential
candidate since 1988, when Democrats and the press tore into Dan Quayle. In
fact, Palin may have it even worse than Quayle, since she’s taking flak not
only from Democrats and the press but from some conservative opinion leaders
as well....

 Yes, there are legitimate concerns about Palin’s lack of experience. Who
wouldn’t, at the very least, wish that she had more time in the governor’s
office on her résumé? But a look at Palin’s 20 months in power, along with
interviews with people who worked with her, shows her to be a serious
executive, a governor who picked important things to do and got them done —
and who didn’t just stumble into an 80 percent job-approval rating.

I'm disgusted, but not surprised.


UPDATE: TPM updates <http://www.talkingpointsmemo.com/archives/238832.php>
to note CNN distorted the quote. 

Also, I’m told the full interview included this from the interviewer
(although I haven’t seen it yet): "But they were talking about the fact that
your experience as governor is not getting out. Do you feel trapped in this
campaign that your message is not getting out and if so who do you blame?"
