Fill-in anchor Maggie Rodriguez avoided Murtha's party as she asserted “there are few politicians as polarizing as Pennsylvania Congressman John Murtha” and referred to him as “a powerful member of Congress.” In a story which consumed about-two-and-a- half minutes, reporter Sharyl Attkisson also failed to identify Murtha's party.

Oh Come onnnnnn! You right wing fascists are always jumping on any little mistake the media makes. This was just an oversight, it doesn't really matter. I mean, Geeez, they do it one little time and you guys act like it's a regular occurrence. You act as if the media is against the conservatives. From listening to you, one would get the idea the media isn't fair and objective at all. Grow up, assholes.
