Because, let’s face it: their version is a lot more accurate. Those with delicate constitutions may wish to avert their eyes:

After a certain point, it’s not going to matter much if the site gets fixed. The narrative will be, as they say, set.
It’s a bit subtle, to be sure.
CNN’s Hillary Clinton film scrapped as director blames lack of co-operation
Charles Ferguson says he was met with a wall of silence from more than a hundred people who refused to be interviewed
…and the director is bizarrely miffed at the GOP for not being thrilled with the idea of a Lefty director doing a Hillary campaign ad disguised as a documentary*. I say ‘bizarrely’ because surely even Charles Ferguson knows that one’s reputation precedes oneself. But, no, it’s mostly the stonewall from the soon-to-be Team Hillary. Or Team Clinton; they probably haven’t polled that yet. Continue reading CNN director confirms that Hillary Clinton is running in 2016.
Whatever cuts down the number of debates, frankly.
The Republican National Committee unanimously passed a resolution here Friday to not partner with NBC or CNN on 2016 primary debates if they air Hillary Clinton projects.
RNC Chairman Reince Priebus got an extended standing ovation from cheering state chairmen during the party’s summer meeting for spearheading the push.
“We’re done putting up with this nonsense,” he said. “CNN and NBC will just have to watch on their competitors’ network … The media overplayed their hand this time.”
I’d advocate Thunderdome if I thought that it would help. Seriously, though: it needs to be made clear to all of the serious candidates that what Reince Priebus and the RNC is doing resonates with a very large swath of the Republican party. The Media went gunning for the GOP in 2012 with those debates. They did everything that they could – which turned out to be a lot – to savage our candidates. The Media, in fact, hates the Republican party, and wants us to die in a fire. Continue reading RNC formally resolves to make CNN/NBC choose between Hillary Clinton & primary debate access.
Some of the largest protests ever going on in Egypt right now and this is CNN’s front page, as of 10 PM Eastern time:
Complete with editorializing about the retail gun business. But, not to worry: CNN does mention the protests…
I believe that this was the CNN/ORC poll question that made David Plouffe freak out earlier today:
The percentage of people who think that the IRS story is very important dropped from 55% to 51% in the last month, sure – but in that same time period the reaction to it has solidified. Half the country thinks that the IRS was ordered by the White House to target conservative groups. And guess what? It’s including parts of the country that the administration was kind of hoping wouldn’t be susceptible: Continue reading Americans increasingly deciding Barack Obama really WOULD use the IRS against his foes.
That indeed is what CNN is reporting.
The United States believes Israel has conducted an airstrike into Syria, two U.S. officials tell CNN.
You know, I remember a time when the Israelis would simply tell us if they had or not. Of course, there’s a whole lot of other things I remember as working more smoothly before… oh, say, 2009 or so.

PS: On the bright side, they should start doing that again in… oh, say, 2017 or so.
Let’s see what shiny object the Obama administration comes up with TODAY to try to distract people from both of those inconvenient truths. I’m betting Full Metal Mormonism: nothing like a little casual religious bigotry to keep up the Online Left’s spirits as the hammer continues to descend.

Or at least stabbing it in the kidney a few times. Jen Rubin has it right: when you are a spokesman for a candidate and your TV appearance is being sent around by the Other Side’s spokesmen, you had a bad TV appearance.
It’s looking that way. In their call to have Rush Limbaugh lose his FCC license, the three authors uncritically repeat this alleged quote from Limbaugh:
“The NAACP should have riot rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies.”
Yes. That particular forwarded email has come around again on the Great Cycle of Spam. Rejoice, brothers and sisters! For nothing truly dies on the Internet. Continue reading Did Gloria Steinem, Robin Morgan, & Jane Fonda use an unsourced quote against Rush Limbaugh?
