Give it to Howard Kurtz, the CNN Reliable Sources host, who had controversial commentator Erick Erickson on Sunday to address some of his most outlandish statements, many of which were pointed out by Media Matters great research staff.

Erickson, now a CNN contributor, seemed to say these comments were either wrong or unnecessary. Among them, calling U.S. Supreme Court Justice David Souter a “child molester.”

So why are we to believe he will not do the same at CNN. He did not help himself much Sunday.
