CNN, please define "Secret"

December 23, 2008 4:42 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

To trumpet the release of the Obama report regarding Blago contacts, CNN went into hyperventilating mode.

The on-screen graphic [emphasis added]: "Breaking News: Team Obama Reveals Secret Report".

Simple question for CNN, what's secret about the report?

  There is nothing secret about it, of course. They only wish that it was, so they could keep making a big deal out of this. If the report was secret, then we probably wouldn't know about it right? It being, you know, SECRET.

  Well, it was "secret" before it was released, I guess...
