It's pretty shocking that they say they didn't know who Castellanos was considering they now have text on the screen that identifies him. But what they don't disclose is which pundits they pay, and which ones they don't. That to me is just as troubling. I think you'll see in my upcoming book "I Am Martin Eisenstadt: One Man's (wildly inappropriate) Adventures with the Last Republicans" almost this exact story, but told about Donna Brazile - who also appears on Blitzer's show in the same "Strategy Sessions" segment. Yes, we knew she was on the DNC rules committee. But what they didn't disclose was how much CNN was paying her. Either way, it's a conflict of interest. The Eisenstadt book is essentially fiction, but it's a satire of the punditocracy and the uneasy reliance on dubious pundits with conflicting loyalties. Great piece!
