I just saw Jessica Yellin do her best impression of Mark Halperin/Ed Henry on John King, USA, which she is hosting today.
She literally asked Gene Sperling and I quote:
"Part of this has to be politics...I mean it feels like there is political posturing going on right now. If this is as dire as the White House says it is, and as it seems the capital markets are suggesting, why not just give the Republicans what they want?
Why not just cave and say, you know what, you want only cuts, fine. To save America, and save the economy, say we will give you cuts, we will raise the debt ceiling and we will fight another day on the other issues that matter to Democrats?"
This is not snark or a joke. A WH Correspondent for a national network literally thought this was a reasonable question to ask.
Really...?
No analysis. I just wanted this on the record.
CNN is literally a joke at this point. I wonder if CNN will think twice about putting that clip online.
Ladies and gentlemen...your liberal media at work.
