Why does Chuck Roberts hate journalism?

In a recent episode of the the former newscast, turned state's media quasi-reality show, CNN Headline News anchor Chuck Roberts, speaking of the recent Connecticut Senate Democratic primary won by Ned Lamont, asked: "Might some argue, as some have, that Lamont is the Al Qaeda candidate?"

Which some might that be Chuck? The voices in your head, or Karl Rove's under assistant White House promo man? I don't believe we saw any footage of anyone actually saying that except you.

I never thought I'd live to see the day when a news anchor invented partisan talking points out of thin air. Media Matters has a few choice words for the station bigwigs. I might suggest we all take that contact information and follow suit. It's an insult to the profession of journalism. And not a word from his peers in disgust at such an appalling breach of journalistic ethics. Disgraceful all around.
