CNN: "We’re the only credible, nonpartisan voice left."
If by "credible" they mean a morning full of people who can't pronounce the words in the stories they read off the teleprompter much less comprehend them, followed by Rick Sanchez reading Twitter on the air all afternoon, well, yeah, I guess.
Bonus: CNN's definition of "balanced" coverage:
Republican talking head: "Liberals suck."
Democratic talking head: "Conservatives suck."
Idiot host: "There you have it. This just in about Tiger Woods..."

CNN's lost credibility
They lost their credibility with me when they hired a dangerously unhinged person like Erick Ericson as a contributor. When some wing-nut with a shotgun blows a census worker away on his doorstep because he listened to Ericson, CNN will own it.
I have quit watching CNN as long as this fear- and hate-monger is on their air. I have written to CNN to let them know it and urge others to do the same.
CNN is non-partisan? Perhaps
CNN is non-partisan? Perhaps someone should tell their writers.
