If you work for CNN apparently your reputation as a liberal journalist
precedes you, at least that's what CNN's Erin Burnett revealed to Conan
O'Brien on October 23, 2012. The OutFront host, appearing as a guest on
TBS's Conan, relayed that when she told a passenger, on a recent flight,
that she worked for CNN the passenger replied: "Oh yeah. In the can for Obama."
Burnett's anecdote came during a discussion of how she was forced to
watch the final presidential debate on her outbound flight to appear on
Conan O'Brien's late night talk show.
