Actually, apropos of the previous post, the real sucker on this one seems to be MSNBC rather than CNN. At least thus far. As of 5:43, the Ghailani capture is the headline on the MSNBC website, while it gets lesser billing on CNN. MSNBC is even blaring it more than Fox News (oh the infamy!).
As with the earlier post, I’d be much obliged if anyone can tell me whether any of the MSNBC talking heads note the earlier published report in one of America’s most respected political magazines (see previous post) about the White House’s pressure on Pakistan to produce an al Qaida bad guy during the Dem convention.
Finally, right now I’m watching Wolf Blitzer on his little CNN news perch right off the convention floor doing a live shot. If he’s talking up the al Qaida story, why not have on Peter Beinart, editor of The New Republic, to talk about their above-mentioned story? I’m sure Peter would be happy to come on. And I just saw him here in the Fleet Center not more than twenty minutes ago.
