The only thing that makes me laugh more than friends who deny CNN’s liberal bias is CNN’s reliably-liberal bias. I keep meaning to track the stories as they appear on and eventually drop from CNN.com’s home page, but real life keeps getting in the way of the hilarity.

This one isn’t about bias, per se, but it really makes me giggle. How must it feel to be so thoroughly scooped by the blogosphere?

CNN: Papers from prewar Iraq posted on Web — March 27, 2006

Michelle Malkin: An Army of Translators Needed — March 16, 2006

The kicker is that the article goes on and on about how this information is available on the web and how bloggers and the netroots are accessing it, translating the documents and reposting them online… and yet CNN fails to provide the link.

Isn’t it also fascinating how CNN is content to allow the blogs to research and translate and analyze, concerning itself only with reporting on the process from a safe distance?

On the other hand, you have ABC doing the actual work, but its editors feel the need to print disclaimers following every find of consequence.

We heart you, news media.
