'Every night we ask, do the claims and actions of our political leaders add up?' she told viewers. 'We take our fair share of criticism for this depending on what we say on any given night. And this week, it all came on the same day. On Wednesday, NewsBusters, a site that aims to 'expose and combat Liberal Media Bias' posted a story entitled 'CNN Hypes Romney Tape as 'Monumental Gaffe,' 'Manna from Heaven for the Left.' In the column, the author wrote: CNN 'boosted the Obama campaign spin that Romney is out of touch with ordinary Americans' and 'Host Erin Burnett called it 'manna from heaven for the left' on her OutFront show.' The column concluded that I was helping 'keep the anti-Romney media firestorm raging.''
'On the very same day that column ran,' she continued, 'the actor Rob Lowe, was watching our show when he tweeted' 'Erin Brown carrying some heavy water for President Obama right now on #CNN.''
'You know, first of all, I was a little hurt that he got my name wrong,' she said. 'I mean, I know Rob Lowe and I actually thought we had something special. I mean when I interviewed him and his business partner Tom Barrack about a new movie venture, there was something special right off the top.'
'But hey, it's Burnett, Erin Burnett,' she clarified after showing a clip of her literally cute meet-cute with the actor. 'And hey, I'm glad to know Rob thinks I'm a leftie because I wasn't sure. Because on the same day Rob Lowe and NewsBusters were calling me a liberal, I saw this story in a West Coast blog called the Examiner, which included the line: 'Conservative-leaning CNN host Erin Burnett took on the Republican charge. The article was about our story pointing out Mitt Romney supports redistribution if you look at his tax policy facts. My head was literally spinning. Am I a liberal? A conservative?'
'I can't lie ' this political schizophrenia is deeply confusing,' she said. 'So we decided maybe we'll take the weekend off, you know, decide which side we fall on, decide who we're going to vote for. Or you know what? Maybe I'll just keep doing what I've been doing day in and day out. Taking the criticism and the chips where they may fall.'
Ohhhhh we feel that, E-Burn. We feel that. And we're keeping our fingers crossed that our favorite celebrity couple, Burowe, shines on.
Have a look, courtesy of CNN:

Classic both sides criticize me so I must be fair, beltway insider nonsense. Erin's the perfect representation of the clueless privileged one per center, whose interaction with the housekeeper or gardener is as close as she'll ever come to knowing what the middle and lower middle class think.
She's a one woman weapon of destruction against all things middle class like Social security and Medicare, and for anything helping the plutocrats that own and run the country.
Anytime I want the privileged snarky insider perspective from cul de sac gated community land I tune in to Erin.

' And we're keeping our fingers crossed that our favorite celebrity couple, Burowe, shines on.'
Don't forget Wintoure (Anna Wintour and Toure').
And EmptyCher (Obama and Sonny's ex-wife). -
Cute twist using an ignorant CNN article. Considering the GOP's stance on 'redistribution'. Am I to expect E-Burn wants me to forget the GOPs initial attempt was to smear Obama with a 10+ year old video clip where he discusses redistribution and is edited before he finishes his thought? Am I to believe E-Burn discussed Romney's sudden 'redistribution' discussion was 'CNN good' as many GOP people trashed Obama's redistribution discussion and Romney, yet again, goofed and began sounding like his opponent? Seems to me like the attempt at neutrality fails here. The GOP was horrified that Romney brought up redistribution. CNN and Burnett both applied more redistribution to Romney while his party scrambled to hold things together yet again. I do not see Burnett's discussion or CNN's article as anything other than more help for Obama. Calling a rooster a chicken won't get you any eggs.

'Newsbusters''LOL!
It's amazing the way republiklans spend their entire lives whining and crying about dehr meedya. Soon we will reach the point that one reaches with all shrill whiners. You just ignore them because no matter what you do, they whine.
Feck Brent Bozo and that whole sad clown parade over there.
-
Erin is good jerk-off material but yea, she's an annoying rethuglican who clearly despises working class people.
-
Stop patronizing people, everyone hosting a show on any network other then FOX is a biased liberal who is voting for Obama.
-
' says the Scientologist?
I wouldn't worry much about what the cultist thinks. Talk about carrying heavy water. Trying to defend a cult as a religion is really heavy water to carry.
-
Whatever you think of Young Turks, they've done a pretty extensive collection of pieces on on Erin Burnett shilling ' with bad evidence of her claims ' for the Right.
-
I understand how it may be more comfortable for you to remain in the echo chamber than to look at things from a different perspective. It will always be easier to marginalize one's political antagonists than to refute their criticism.
Here's an example of a mediate story that illustrates why the echo chamber is bad.
http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2012/09/22/chris-matthews-says-unemployment-was-over-10-when-bush-left-office-it
Listen to the room full of fools cheering the patently false claims of Chris Matthews. I wonder how many people actually think unemployment was higher during the last president's term or any other time in the past 30 years. This is scary stuff.
-
It's so snarky, I lost interest half way through.
-
fair to point that CNN for what its worth has a branding problem which leaves viewers opportunity to fill in the BLANK. watched an interview she conducted with sen rob portman of ohio week or so ago'.if i weren't objective, i would've concluded that she was a conservative as a result of soft balls and pathetic follow up. also fair to point out that she does a pretty good job for low rated CNN.
-
The paranoid nerds at Newsbusters are part of the right wing meida juggernaut. They are Drug Limbaugh's business partner and his PR outlet.
-
what could be more snarky than the entire line up at fox news?
-
Wow, that was original. Just surprised you didn't say 'faux' news.
-
Erin really needs a husband. She is so ready to find her Goldman Sachs male counterpart.
-
Ian, I guess I didn't express myself clearly enough.
Let me say it again: I don't give a chit what you're whining about.
-
The Examiner blogger needs his head examined if he or she thinks Erin is conservative.
-
whenever i watch her, shes very pro israel and very pro wall street.. i use to watch her over al sharpton but recently i watch chris matthews over her
-
ill stop watching her now because she gave exposure to one of the members of the american taliban'i mean pamela geller
-
And anyone hosting a show on FOX is a biased conservative who is voting for Romney.
-
' I'm not sure how anyone makes fun of a person that paid almost 2 million in taxes. '
It doesn't matter if he paid 'almost 2 million'. What matters is the percentage. He paid only 14%, most people pay a lot more. Of course we should mock him for that.
-
And he gave over 4 MILLION in charity. Not many people come any where close to that.
-
Erin Burnett is leans left and is self righteous to boot!
-
He paystaxes on money in investments. He earns no salary, therefore a different tax rate. As does Warren Buffet.
-
so right' I really can't stand her, pretentious impartial bs. her instincts are republican
-
The LDS is NOT a charity.
-
Erin Burnett goes both ways'..
-
Erin Burnett will take the side that supports the Wall Street speculators. Left, Right, Center ' whatever!
-
Erin Burnett if you're a real news person, then should you care what Rob Lowe has to say about you??? Just do your job and inform people
