The CNN Sucks Web site teases its headline story today, "GOP walks fine line in opposing Sotomayor," with this:

The Republican Party risks further alienation from Hispanics by challenging the nomination of Sonia Sotomayor, who would become the first Hispanic, and third woman, on the Supreme Court.

If you read the story you quickly discover that CNN should have written the GOP "risks alienation from liberal Hispanics...." Meanwhile the network at the same time has issued an unveiled threat to Republicans that if they oppose Sotomayor, then CNN will target them.
