CNN's King reported that Martinez had been tapped as RNC chair, omitted Schiavo memo, pattern of blaming staff for missteps
November 13, 2006 5:44 pm ET
SUMMARY: In reporting that Sen. Mel Martinez had accepted an offer to become chairman of
the Republican National Committee, CNN's John King failed to mention Martinez's
admission in April 2005 that his office had authored a memo touting the Terri Schiavo case
as "a great political issue" for Republicans because "the
pro-life base will be excited" and it "is a tough issue for
Democrats." King also ignored the controversies surrounding Martinez's 2004
Senate campaign.
