In a shocking move, CNN actually covered protesters the other day, putting aside their (and the rest of the media's) allegiance to support Whatever Looks Good™

Gonzales defends wiretaps amid protest

(CNN) -- Attorney General Alberto Gonzales had trouble tapping into a group of hooded protesters at Georgetown Law School in Washington on Tuesday.

The university was one of the stops on Gonzales' circuit as he attempts to defuse criticism of the National Security Agency's domestic spying program.

But as the attorney general tried to convey that the extraordinary circumstances of the September 11, 2001, terror attacks justified the program, the protesters turned to one of America's Founding Fathers for their rebuttal.

But don't worry, the story quickly shifts focus to get every single angle of how the wiretaps were 'legit'.

"I'm mindful of your civil liberties, and so I had all kinds of lawyers review the process," he said. "We briefed members of the United States Congress."

All kinds of them! Short ones, tall ones... oh, none that I can really pronounce the names of though, sorry.

"Had this program been in effect prior to 9/11, it is my professional judgment that we would have detected some of the 9/11 al Qaeda operatives in the United States, and we would have identified them as such," said Hayden, who now is principal deputy director of national intelligence.

Detecting them would have been cool, right? Too bad YOU DID DETECT THEM, NUMB SKULLS. Bush was too busy making deals with the Bin Laden family oil business to notice it on the presidential briefing.. you know, that lame thing they make presidents do every day before the morning cartoons!

And did CNN point this out in the article?

No.

Why?

Because fact checking is 'liberal bias' in today's corporate controlled media.
