CNN Spites Conservative Dana Loesch, Runs Bombshell 'Friend of Officer' Interview Without Proper Attribution — #Ferguson

It's a perpetual revolt in Ferguson, Missouri, and I'm late to blogging this evening, so I don't hope to share any under-reported news.

However, I think it's pretty significant that here we are on Monday, after the long weekend of rioting, and events have confirmed what Dana Loesch found out in her interview from last Friday: "Alleged Friend of Officer Darren Wilson Offers His Side."

I blogged this story with multiple updates, "Suspect Mike Brown, Seen with Cigars 'Connected to Robbery', Bum-Rushed Officer Darren Wilson — #Ferguson," and "AUDIO: New #Ferguson Witness Corroborates How Suspect Mike Brown Bum-Rushed Officer Darren Wilson."

Also, "Private Autopsy Corroborates How Mike Brown Bum-Rushed Officer, Shots Fired to His Front — #Ferguson."

Now here's CNN's report on the "officer interview," attributing the source as "FM NewsTalk 97.1," with no "by-line" attribution, thus dissing Dana's outstanding journalistic coverage:



Here's the response on Twitter. Spiteful indeed:



No doubt. Dana's coverage offered a "potential bombshell" on the riots, and she deserves full by-name attribution.
