The Most Trusted Name In Spin
To no one's great surprise, CNN failed to disclose CNN political "analyst" and Rethug operative Alex "Cash or Check?" Castellanos' ties to the health insurance lobby organization America' Health Insurance Plans (AHIP). Cash or Check's company has been buying media time for AHIP's ads trying to scuttle health insurance reform and maintain the status quo.
CNN says it will disclose Cash or Check's connections to the health insurance industry in the future. Excellent!! He's been "commenting" on health insurance reform issues for months without having to disclose his affiliation, and only now CNN fesses up. Hey, we already have Fuxed News, we don't need Fuxed Lite.
