CNN appears to have quite an affinity for covering political family feuds, particularly those involving liberals fighting with conservative relatives who serve in Congress or the Executive Branch. Therefore, it should not have been that surprising when CNN's New Day gave a platform to David Gosar, one of the nine siblings of Republican Congressman Paul Gosar, six of whom appeared in an ad endorsing Gosar's Democratic opponent, to trash his brother. Gosar claimed that his brother "doesn't appear to be well," citing his body language at the Stzrok hearing as well as his "petulant, childish response" proclaiming that he is their mother's favorite because she, unlike the majority of her children, is conservative.  Berman asked Gosar to elaborate on what he meant when he said "he doesn't appear to be well."  According to Gosar, "if you watch him and how he conducts himself, he appears to be in a very hostile manner all the time. He talks down to people. He says bizarre things like that. I mean, if you interview him, you know, you'll be hard pressed to get a real coherent sentence out of him."
