Bloomberg article headlined “Obama Faces Rebellion From Democrats on ... Nominations” leaves out key facts
Published
In a Bloomberg News article headlined “Obama Faces Rebellion From Democrats on Stimulus, Nominations,” the only evidence cited in the article of “rebellion from Democrats” on President-elect Obama's “nominations” was that Sen. Dianne Feinstein “said she hadn't been consulted on the pick” of Leon Panetta for CIA director “and preferred a CIA director with more experience in intelligence,” and that Rep. John Conyers “took aim at reports that Obama is considering naming CNN reporter Sanjay Gupta as surgeon general.” In fact, Feinstein reportedly stated that she was “going to vote for” Panetta. And as a member of the House of Representatives, Conyers will not have a vote on Gupta's confirmation.
