(By agreement with the Vice President, the incident was first reported by the Corpus Christi Caller-Times after the owner of the ranch on which the incident took place waited some 14 hours.)

Tony Snow

On December 7, 2006, Gregory posed a question regarding the Iraq Study Group Report, asking how the President could view the report's content as anything but a "rejection of the President's policy." Snow then responded that Gregory was framing the question in a partisan manner and would not answer. Several media outlets, such as Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor, used it as evidence that NBC's coverage was too hard on President Bush.^[2] Days later, Snow apologized to Gregory for his part in the incident.

Both CNN and Fox News run weekly shows reviewing journalism. While this is a noteworthy effort (the other networks don't do this), the weekly panels of both of these shows are almost exclusively made up of journalists. Journalists may not want to offend other journalists or new organizations. It could hurt their career opportunities. (Note how Howard Kurtz on CNN's Reliable Sources rarely finds anything wrong with the mainstream media.) Thus, it is hard to get an unbiased opinion about the performance of journalists and news organizations. The Cable News Network, commonly known as CNN, is a major cable television network founded in 1980 by Ted Turner. ... For the Wikipedia guideline, see Wikipedia:Reliable sources. ...
