CNN, You've Got Mail

I saw this one on the GOP blog. I have not been following the Judge Roberts fight too closly, but I thought this was interesting.

CNN’s refusal to pull the NARAL ad last week was met with consequence - thousands of emails from angry Americans. CNN’s Jim Walton couldn’t ignore the "message people were upset with the network's airing" of the outrageous ad attacking Supreme Court nominee John Roberts, the Atlanta-Journal Constitution reports. The message was clear -- "More than 10,000 messages, actually."

Meanwhile, it came out yesterday that Democrat candidate for Virginia Governor Tim Kaine uses the same media firm as NARAL, and Kaine stands behind them. The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports, "The campaign of Democratic gubernatorial candidate Timothy M. Kaine continues to have confidence in its media consulting firm despite the firm's role in producing a controversial NARAL ad that was pulled last week, a spokeswoman said." The firm of Struble Eichenbaum Communications "produced a television ad for NARAL Pro-Choice America that falsely accused U.S. Supreme Court nominee John G. Roberts Jr. of supporting a ‘convicted clinic bomber’ in a legal brief."
