[Breitbart] Today, June 1, is the 35th anniversary of the launch of CNN, the first 24/7 cable news network. In keeping with the network's current format as Jeff Zucker's personal, left-wing propaganda machine, the network appropriately announced on the day of its 35th anniversary the hiring of partisan Democrat Dan Pfeiffer as a "contributor."I would argue, though, that "Obama plant" is a better description:
Network chief Jeff Zucker announced the appointment this morning for the long-time top aide to President Champ. Pfeiffer, one of Champ's longest-tenured strategists, until March was the White House's senior adviser for strategy and communications.
His first presidential campaign role came in a communications post for then-Vice President Al Gore's 2000 campaign. He then worked for the Democratic Governors Association and later Sens. Tim Johnson, Tom Daschle and then Evan Bayh's brief 2008 presidential campaign.
While Champ still sits in the Oval Office, this is the third Champ official hired by CNN. Disgraced 9-11 Truther Van Jones was Champ's Green Jobs Czar. Press Secretary Jay Carney was scooped up by CNN immediately after he left that post.
