“Pinko” and Hillary at CNN
I looked for signs that CNN is moving toward objective journalism, but this Sunday morning CNN’s Inside Politics brought back Jonathan Martin and followed that with an interview of Hillary Clinton.
In August 2016,
“I first took notice of Martin when he was introduced as a reporter for The New York Times, which alerted me to possible bias on Martin’s part. But, then Martin’s demeanor is not TV compatible. He looks like what we call a “Know it all,” and he has a way of scowling that lets us know what’s coming.”
“Recently, the camera has shown Martin looking down at his cell phone, as if the conversation of his colleagues on Inside Politics are not interesting. He also dresses poorly. This morning he wore a light cream summer suit, suitable for luncheon at a good restaurant in Manhattan and a garish tie.
I think it was pink.”
“Pinko” is back, attired in a brown jacket and white shirt and tiny black bow tie. Next to him sat a female journalist whose every word was assisted by a swivel of her head. This was an aggravated swivel action that distracted me from what she was saying.
I didn’t change channels and watched Fareed Zacharia engage in a “soft ball” interview with Hillary.
Nothing has changed at CNN!
