Your OP is based on a false premise... that CNN reports the news. See, this is a good example of why CNN is being pummeled in the ratings so badly by FOX, CNN edited O'Donnels words to make it appear that she said something other than what she said.

quote:

CNN devoted several segments on Tuesday and Wednesday to Delaware Republican Christine O'Donnell's apparent gaffe on the First Amendment, but barely acknowledged her opponent Chris Coons's own gaffe on the amendment. Analyst Jeff Toobin spun O'Donnell's remark as demonstrating that "she didn't seem to know" the amendment. It took conservative Dana Loesch on AC360 to bring up Coons's own gaffe.

Anchor Wolf Blitzer played an edited clip of O'Donnell's questioning of Coons on the First Amendment issue during Tuesday morning's WDEL Delaware Senate candidate debate on his Situation Room program. Blitzer did not play the part where the Republican clearly asked, "You're telling me the 'separation of church and state'- the phrase, 'the separation of church and state' is found in the First Amendment?" [audio available here] After playing the edited sound bite, Blitzer continued that "O'Donnell's spokesman later said she was not questioning the concept of church and state subsequently established by the courts, she simply made the point, he says that the phrase appears nowhere in the Constitution, 'separation of church and state.'" This is an accurate summary of the candidate's line of questioning, but since the anchor didn't play the part where she used the term, "the phrase 'separation of church and state,'" he made it seem like the spokesman was giving a clarification.

So CNN is biased, as said by the ultra-right wing Newsbusters?

Can you then explain to me why her remarks were published just as CNN reported by numerous other sources?

Yes, biased - which is why their viewership is 500k on a good day.

What O'Donnell said was that the phrase "separation of church and state" doesnt appear in the Constitution, and she is absolutely correct, its you and your friends who are the ones who are making the mistake here.

You know when you need to argue semantics of a concept you have lost.  O'Donnell is correct as far as wording goes, she is a fucking moron about what those words mean however.  I reiterate she is apparently not the only one too fucking stupid to grasp the concept.

It doesnt mean what modern leftists want it to mean, or what the courts have begun to interpret the meaning....

No one has to defend themselves from you, rml... or believes that they do. The point is that its very challenging to try to explain very simple concepts to you.
