To be fair, as I posted in the Election thread, Fox News does have the top 14 shows in cable news and the repeat of "The O'Reilly Factor" often beats the first run shows of the other news networks, so I guess CNN feels like sensationalism and random speculation is the way to gain viewers.

No. Something more along the lines of, "What would you expect from Muslims?"

No, probably not. He's very liberal except for his extreme anti-muslim views.
