CNN's Yellin did not challenge McConnell by noting GAO report also mandated by law
September 05, 2007 2:56 pm ET
SUMMARY: CNN's Jessica Yellin uncritically reported Sen. Mitch McConnell's
claim that a recently
released report on the Iraq war by the Government Accountability Office was "not
equal" in significance to an upcoming report from the Bush administration
because the administration's report "is written into law." In fact, the GAO
report is required by the same law as the president's
report.
