AC360: One Good Thing about Iraq? It Got Obama Elected

During a segment on AC360 on Tuesday night CNN correspondent Tom Forman ran through the costs and the benefits of the Iraq War. The “costs” portion of the segment was balanced enough. But check out the “benefits.” There’s a picture of President Barack Obama standing in front of an American flag.  “And there is this, not only did the war’s unpopularity lay the groundwork for Barack Obama’s election …” yadda yadda yadda.  That was a “benefit” of the Iraq War.

Ya See, Conservatives are Funny

There’s nothing funny about Barack Obama, we’re told. But conservatives? That’s another story. Just ask David Letterman.  Or Anderson Cooper. Cooper has discovered a nifty workaround for that pesky “objective journalist” thing—photo caption contests.

Photo caption contests that belittle Republicans, of course.
