[See NewsBusters for more.] Providing some unintentional comedy, CNN anchor Poppy Harlow on Thursday lectured a conservative Congressman, telling him, “I’m not the left. I’m a journalist.” Collectively, many Americans must have thought: “What’s the difference?” The haughty defense came after Harlow demanded of Representative Jim Jordan: “Are you comfortable with that huge reduction in Medicaid funding?” Of course, the GOP health care bill does NOT cut Medicaid. Jordan pointed this out: “Remember, it is not a cut in Medicaid. It is just a reduction in the rate of growth. So it's still going to grow a lot over the next ten years.”
