re: #525 Charles

From Atlas Shrieks:

And also I’m pretty sure it’s not CNN who promoted that questionable Palin divorce story, just a blogger who also happens to separately do freelance work sometimes for CNN; this story was not reported by CNN. It’s as if these fringe right-wingers want so desperately to believe the mainstream media to be against them, so they twist and distort things to willfully delude themselves to believe this. And of course Geller’s hate of CNN is especially ironic when it did do exactly what she wanted, i.e., reported on and spread the Obama birth certificate conspiracy theory, through Lou Dobbs. In fact, it is highly likely that it’s the network, through Lou Dobbs, who caused this conspiracy theory, before moving around mostly only in relatively small lunatic circles, to blow up into a full fledged pandemic of craziness.
