Fareed Flacks for Potential Future Boss
Cites CBS poll on CNN because it favors Obama moreCNN pundit and prospective Secretary of State appointee Fareed Zakaria gushed over President Barack Obama's foreign policy debate performance on Monday night.  "[Obama] quite effectively pointed out that Romney was indecisive or waffled on an issue or gone back and forth ... and he kept saying being commander-in-chief, being president is about being consistent," Zakaria said. Zakaria later overlooked CNN's own instant poll of debate watchers by citing a CBS poll that showed a larger margin of victory for Obama. "The gap for Obama is much higher; I think they are exactly right," he said. Zakaria, who has criticized America's democracy, backed containment on a nuclear Iran, and expressed hostility toward Israel, is being floated as a high-level diplomat in a second Obama administration and has even been touted as a potential successor to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. That did not prevent CNN from giving him a platform as a nonpartisan pundit in its post-debate analysis. Posted by: Au Auric 2012-10-23 |
