Guest host Kitty Pilgrim did not challenge the claim. In fact, the ACLU has stated that it rejected funding from the Ford and Rockefeller foundations because their "restrictive funding agreements ... might adversely affect the civil liberties of the ACLU and other grantees." http://mediamatters.org/items/200709280004 Fri, 28 Sep 2007 13:02:10 EST Taranto repeated stale falsehood that there's "no evidence" Plame was a "covert agent" http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080001 http://mediamatters.org/items/200707080001 Sun, 8 Jul 2007 12:52:23 EST Media revive, retool, and create anti-Gore smears and attacks http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703230004 Fri, 23 Mar 2007 13:20:27 EST Reports on criticism of Gore omitted steps he reportedly took to reduce "carbon footprint" http://mediamatters.org/items/200703010008 http://mediamatters.org/items/200703010008 Thu, 1 Mar 2007 15:40:53 EST Many media outlets report Snow's defense of Pelosi without noting simultaneous RNC attack http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090016 http://mediamatters.org/items/200702090016 Fri, 9 Feb 2007 18:01:31 EST Lou Dobbs Tonight caption: "Do-Nothing Dems?" http://mediamatters.org/items/200612200004 http://mediamatters.org/items/200612200004 Tue, 19 Dec 2006 20:48:09 EST Media figures repeat false claim that Armitage role in Plame leak exonerates Libby and Rove http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Numerous media figures have asserted that a recent report purportedly identifying former deputy Secretary of State Richard Armitage as Robert Novak's original source for Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA operative prove that Karl Rove and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby were not involved in the leak of her identity. However, Armitage's role as Novak's first source is not inconsistent with Rove's and Libby's involvements in the leak -- both were original sources of the information for two other reporters. http://mediamatters.org/items/200609010001 Thu, 31 Aug 2006 21:39:26 EST Wash.

CNN host Kitty Pilgrim interviewed Bossie but made no mention of his highly controversial past. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608300007 Wed, 30 Aug 2006 19:20:08 EST CNN's Pilgrim uncritically repeated Rove's dubious claim that warrantless wiretapping "might have prevented September 11th" http://mediamatters.org/items/200608250011 CNN's Kitty Pilgrim uncritically repeated White House senior adviser Karl Rove's dubious claim that the Bush administration's warrantless domestic wiretapping program "might have prevented" the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. In fact, the Bush administration had information on two of the 9-11 hijackers more than a year before the attacks occurred, and according to the 9-11 Commission and congressional investigators, it was primarily bureaucratic problems -- rather than a lack of information -- that resulted in their escaping detection. http://mediamatters.org/items/200608250011 Fri, 25 Aug 2006 19:16:26 EST
