Some must-see video here. CNN’s Rich Sanchez stood up for his news organization on air today, against Fox “News” after they ran an add today in the Washington Post<\/i> alleging that CNN didn’t cover Glenn Beck’s political rally last week in D.C.<\/p>\n
After slamming Fox by showing clips of CNN’s extensive (some might say gratuitous, frankly) coverage, and even a clip showing Bill O’Reilly on Fox discussing the fact that CNN covered the event, Sanchez went for the jugular:<\/p>\n
Just like when thousands marched on Washington to protest the war in Iraq, we covered it as well. Probably less than we covered this event. [ed note: no kidding!<\/i>] But we didn’t promote<\/i> it. … Bottom line is, we do cover the news, and we did extensively cover<\/em> this event. <\/p>\n We didn’t promote<\/em> the event. That’s not what real<\/i> news organizations are supposed<\/i> to do. We covered<\/i> the event. I would invite you to look into that distinction, between those two words: “promote” and “cover”.<\/p>\n “Cover” is kind of like a fair and balanced way of doing things. Ya get it? You might want to look into that.

\nLet me address the Fox News network now, perhaps the most current way that I can, by quoting someone who recently used a very pithy phrase. Two words. That’s all I need. “You lie!”<\/p><\/div>\n
