I'd note that other cable stations like CNN did cover the story as an "interest" piece, although with a bit more objectivity as the right-wing punditry.

Hit job or not. The truth should be told about this organization.If it wee not for it being a far left org. the "BIG 3" would cover it. If it becomes real news it will become time for one of those Obama distractions. Like maybe another Gates crisis.
