Agreed, Jillian is trying to say a leftwing bigot should be with FOX, perhaps an inadvertent agreement that FOX is less biased, as proven by university studies?
no, dear... go read.

Bad jounalism is bad journalism. I studied this stuff in school and was amazed at the time that our jounalists had risen from a long line of biased, party line promoting rags.

Opinion pieces are different. When Charles Krauthammer puts a piece together, you get to see his rationale and deduction, but you can be assured that the conclusion will be more conservative than less. That's opinion, though, and there is a place for that.
When a reporter starts arguing with the person she selects to give a comment, she shows contempt for the person, ignorance of her trade, impudence of highest order and no respect for the intelligence of her audience. In this particular case, she also showed outright laziness in not having a counterpoint ready to go in a second interview and not having done her homework on the range of issues at point.
This little girl was playing in a grown up world and making an utter ass of herself. That CNN would put her on is an insult to CNN. If CNN does not know that this is unproffesional, they are idiots. If they know and put her on anyway, they are hacks. Either way, it's an embarrasment to anyone who respects the craft of journalism.
