“Looks like the folks at CNN are following Klein’s advice and hyping up the chyrons to draw viewers,” a tipster says. “Tonight on ‘The Situation Room’ they had a chyron that read: EXCLUSIVE: REP. TOM DELAY (R-TX) RESPONDS during an interview that they claimed was ‘exclusive,’ 24 hours after he was on Special Report w/ Brit Hume, Hannity & Colmes and Hardball last night.”
> Update: 10:26am: An e-mailer responds: “Tom Delay did only one TV interview on Thursday: The Situation Room on CNN. That’s exclusive. He did three interviews on Wednnesday, yet FNC bannered theirs “exclusive” anyway during Brit Hume’s show. Chris Matthews also had Delay on but didn’t use the exclusive banner. Fox overuses the exclusive banner every day.”
