Bill Hemmer -CNN to Wilson on WH silence- book does not deserve comment!
Ambassador Joe Wilson appeared on CNN's "American Morning" to discuss his new book "Politics of Truth." "This was a question of holding your government accountable," Wilson said of his objecting to some of the intelligence used by the President in his State of the Union address. "This was a question of your civic duty." Bill Hemmer noted that Wilson had endorsed Sen. Kerry and that the White House refused to comment on the record to Wilson's book. "I guess they believe your book does not deserve comment," Hemmer mused.

No pro right wing GOP bias at CNN, is there? They just want to cover up Bush Cheney Treason because they know there are no advertising dollars in such stories.

1. Bill Hemmer is an idiot
It's amazing someone actually gave him a job. He is enamored with the Bush administration and he doesn't try to hide it. I swear he gets stars in his eyes when he mentions Bush's name.

4. Hemmer was embedded
Looks to me like most all of formerly-embedded "journalists" are now overt Bush supporters. They have to legitimize the war, because its what made them more famous. Its their record as well as Bush's.

BTW, Hemmer is a bonehead. But Solidad is excellent.

2. More not-so-subtle editorializing
by our "liberal" press. The comeback would have been, "either that, or they have no defense."

5. No, they want the media to do their dirty work
nothing new .. >>

Then he pulled out a stack of emails from the White House complaining to MSNBC about Wilson's appearance and giving talking points for Olbermann to use when talking to Wilson tonight.
