CNS Assumes Again
Topic: CNSNews.com
A July 12 CNSNews.com article by Susan Jones falls into the trap (where CNS frequently finds itself) of assuming that Democrats are motivated only by politics.

In her article on the disclosed link between Bush adviser Karl Rove and the outing of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame, Jones frames the issue as one of Democrats seeking revenge. The headline states, "Democrats Smell Scandal, Want Rove Removed"; the article begins: "Democrats think they've found a way to get rid of President Bush's political adviser Karl Rove, who has long been a favorite target of liberal wrath."

We don't recall ever seeing a CNS article headlined, "Republicans Smell Scandal, Want Clinton Impeached."
