CNN correspondent Jessica Yellin said Thursday she was referring to her time spent at MSNBC when she said she felt pressure not to report stories critical of the Bush administration during the time leading up to the Iraq war.

Yellin's initial comments, made during a discussion with Anderson Cooper on CNN Wednesday, shifted attention to the news media's performance following release of a critical assessment of the Bush administration by former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan. He wrote that Bush's strategy for selling the war was less than candid and honest.

During her CNN appearance, Yellin said the press corps was under enormous pressure from corporate executives to make sure the war was presented "in a way that was consistent with the patriotic fever in the nation and the president's high approval ratings."

I find it amazing that anyone still buys the myth that there is some sort of liberal media conspiracy afoot. The media's all about making money, not about pushing some sort of political agenda, save a pro-media agenda in the few cases where it is relevant.

And one cold night proves there's no global warming.

Even if you're going to tailor your argument around anecdotal stories, there are many more supporting the opposite viewpoint.

There is nothing but anecdotal evidence on this subject, which is why it's a pointless argument to have.

You shouldn't rush so quickly to judgment.
