Howard Kurtz Slams CNN on CNN

On CNN’s “Reliable Sources” on Sunday, host Howard Kurtz, who is also Washington Bureau Chief for The Daily Beast, did something he rarely does: He bit the hand that feeds him.

In his “Media Monitor” segment, he began, “It was supposed to be a look back at the major sex scandals involving politicians in recent years, but there was one glaring omission.”
