Here is the complete CNN story. We expect a candidate for Congress to be forthcoming. That is not what happened here, and CNN is quite clear about that. After interviewing Bosnich on camera, CNN repeatedly tried to get detailed answers from DeMaios campaign. Last week, CNN officials participated in a conference call, which they were led to believe would be an opportunity to ask questions. Instead, the call was led by hired consultant Richard Grenell, a former Mitt Romney presidential campaign spokesperson and Fox News contributor. Grenell refused to answer questions and accused CNN of being on a partisan witch hunt. The next day, CNN sent the campaign a detailed list of questions, including whether the campaign manager knew about Bosnichs complaints. CNN was then contacted by high-powered Washington attorney Ben Ginsberg, who counseled both the Romney and George W. Bush presidential campaigns. Ginsberg said he would be handling CNNs questions. Ginsberg asked for more time and information before responding. CNNs attorney granted Ginsberg more time and sent a second letter laying out the information that prompted the inquiries. Ginsberg then responded to CNN by saying its reporters needed to contact the campaign manager. Back to square one. Nine days after seeking answers to our follow-up questions, the campaign manager, Knepper, sent a statement that was almost exactly what DeMaio said when we first asked him about the allegation weeks ago.
