CNN Just Set the New Standard for Corporate Media's Chickensh*t Catering to Republicans
They hired a right-wing hack to run their 2020 coverage.
BY CHARLES P. PIERCE FEB 19, 2019
I try not to hate presidential elections until at least halfway through them, but it's getting harder and harder to adhere to that principle.
From Politico:
Sarah Isgur, who served as the Justice Department’s leading spokeswoman under Attorney General Jeff Sessions, is joining the network as a political editor next month, where she will coordinate political coverage for the 2020 campaign. Isgur joined the administration in 2017 after overcoming resistance from the president, who balked at bringing on a political operative who had trashed him on the campaign trail. As deputy campaign manager for Carly Fiorina’s presidential campaign, and in the months after Fiorina bowed out of the race, Isgur repeatedly laced into Trump.
This is pure, 100-percent corporate chickenshit.
As near as I can tell, CNN's political coverage through one of the most consequential presidential elections of our time is going to be overseen by a right-wing hack who's never committed an act of actual journalism in her life.
