"Cheney Attacks Defeatist Dem Plan" reads CNN website headline

They have no fucking shame anymore. An honest journalist would have written "Cheney Attacks AS 'defeatist' Dem Plan" putting the words in Cheney's mouth, not in the CNN headline writer's mouth. As a journalist, this sickens me.

It's not defeat, it's not defeater, it's defeatest.

Cheney: Top Democrat pursuing defeatest Iraq strategy


edit:Actually, it hasn't. The actual title is the above. The shortened version on the front page is still biased.
