For over a week, led by Wolf Blitzer, CNN devoted countless hours to boost Wendy Davis, the abortion extremist Democrat running to become governor of Texas. Using a guilt-by-association tactic, Blitzer and CNN relentlessly hurled fireballs at Davis's Republican opponent Greg Abbott for sharing a stage with right-wing rocker Ted Nugent, who had called President Obama a "subhuman mongrel" months before.
Two polls released recently show that CNN turning itself into a full-bodied campaign outlet for Davis definitely failed to the move the ball, but might have even backfired. Abbott is currently surging past Davis by wide margins: 51 to 37 percent in one poll, 49 to 41 percent in another.
Contrary to what CNN might believe, Texas voters are not stupid and undoubtedly saw through a left-leaning cable network and anchor that posed as indignant over Nugent's words but were really using Nugent as a whipping boy to bloody Abbott and give Davis a boost. We know this for a fact because when Nugent made those comments, CNN said nothing.
Laughably, this is the same CNN that is much more guilty of a guilt-by-association than Abbott. After Bill Maher called Sarah Palin a "c*nt" and "dumb tw*t," CNN not only didn't condemn Democrats for associating with him, CNN invited Maher to guest-anchor Piers Morgan's now-cancelled show.
After just one year as the network's chief, Jeff Zucker has driven CNN into the ratings ground. When CNN attempts to be a news network, the left-wing outlet's ratings hit near-historic lows. The only way CNN has been able to boost its ratings to slightly above humiliating is through the exploitation of stories like the missing Malaysian airliner -- the kind of stories that turn the network into a punch line even among its colleagues in the mainstream media.
And now we have these polls out of Texas proving that this once-mighty network can't even ding a politician despite devoting almost all of its resources against him day after day after day…
