Former Think Progress Blogger: I Criticized Obama's Afghanistan Surge, and Center for American Progress Read Me the Riot Act For Creating "Daylight" Between CAP and the Obama Administration

Ideological bias is last year's news.

Now it's more about simple partisan bias.

This sounds like CAP ejecting the left's anti-war ideological stance to help out a partisan figure they approve of.

Of course, this writer was read the riot act after White House officials called to complain about the piece.

Completely unrelated I'm sure, but Sharyl Attkisson's stories dropped by two thirds in terms of making it on to the CBS Evening News since shortly after Obama took office.

She was the 18th most aired reporter among all network reporters from 2008-2009... and then fell to 78th place.

Apparently her digging into political wrongdoing was appreciated up until Obama was sworn into office, and not so much thereafter.
