Fox News: Ms Bush, jeb's daughter, was apprehended today with rocks of 
cocaine.....
CNN: Ms. Bush was apprehended today with crack cocaine....

Yep sounds like a real left wing twist on CNN's part.  

I have no doubt that CNN does some left wing stuff, but when I was watching 
all the stuff on the anthrax, I was watching CNN offer up a bit more 
honesty(they still got it wrong) than did Fox. Fox simple spouted what Bush, 
et.al. wanted said on the news, 3/4 of which was flat out lies. CNN was still 
gushing with the admins. crap, but as time went on, more came out and CNN was 
the first to offer up information. Unless bioweaponery has changed 
drastically in the last 20 years (I doubt it), then even the description of 
how to do anthrax is incorrect on CNN and Fox does not even bother with what 
is going on.
