Hmm, is CNN Backtracking over the Wilson Story?

At least for today. They seem to be 'rallying around Novak' and using the GOP talking points

1. And just what are the 'talking points?'

I don't get it. How does Wilson's party affiliation have any bearing on what happened? His wife's identity was leaked; that's an incontrovertible fact. It's there in black and white. His party affiliation has nothing to do with that. The only possible explanation is that his being a Democrat somehow justifies what happened, which, of course, is beyond rediculous.

2. that anderson dink was defending novak to a guest.

the guest told him what everyone else with a conscience
says. Mr. Wilson's politics, et al have nothing to do
with this. Novak is still belching about how they didn't
tell him she was an agent, its all the dems fault, how
about a capital gains tax anyone?

4. Absolutely...

I noticed that Wolfie was in defense mode all day... sounded like an embarrassed mother trying to excuse her little spoiled brat's outrageous behavior. "Well, Robert Novak just wouldn't... blah, blah, blah." Then on his 5:00 p.m. show he had Novak on and let him spin the hell out of the story. Gave him a forum to lie his ass off and backed him up when all was said and done. Wolf Blitzer showed his true Media Whore colors today.

Yep, CNN is circling the wagons on Novak's behalf... at least Blitzer is.

5. Yeah, I noticed it too

Of course Novak is one of thier own. What really pisses me off though is when some talking head says "alleged" leak or worse, "IF the story was leaked"; WTF, that there was a leak is not in question. Only question now is who. :mad:

6. From what I've seen, they're trying to protec NOVAK, not the admin.

Novak is scum, but he was used and the admin. WILL hang him out to dry and try to make him the scapegoat. You should have heard Dick Armey on CNBC. That's the plan. Sacrifice Novak. This is BAD. This will completely CRACK reporters and their sources if they prosecute him and get him to turn and it can be used to protect Bush and the admin. by threatening reporters who get good leaks regarding the admin. that they can recieve the same treatment as Novak...
