Soledad and CNN at the Republican National Convention

CNN will quickly shift its resources and team from Denver to St. Paul this week for special coverage leading up to the Republican National Convention.

Soledad O'Brien will once again be pulling multiple assignments next week anchoring three segments during the 9-4 p.m. period.

Throughout the week, a special edition of CNN Newsroom from 9 a.m. to noon will feature her presenting extended segments of convention coverage.

A special noon hour will again be led by Soledad O'Brien, Ali Velshi and Gerri Willis and will focus on the economy and presidential politics. The hour will include guests and panelists live from the CNN Grill on site.

CNN Newsroom will return from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. with Soledad O'Brien leading CNN's special convention coverage with frequent highlights and reports live from St. Paul.

The Situation Room will pick up at 4 p.m. with Wolf Blitzer anchoring from the convention floor, and then the network will move into its special primetime convention coverage beginning at approximately 6 p.m. Campbell Brown, Gloria Borger and John King, along with the "magic wall," will join Blitzer on CNN's floor set. The coverage will extend late into the night and lead into a special midnight edition of Larry King Live.

Throughout the day and evening, CNN's political team will once again offer the latest news and thoughtful analysis. Correspondents include Dana Bash, Candy Crowley, Joe Johns, Suzanne Malveaux, Bill Schneider and Jessica Yellin.

Soledad, please alter your 'hard push' for Obama and use a little more interviewing and less the load bias. In my opinion please stop running for 'White House Press Secretary".

So far you have pushed me away from Obama. I still want my journalist to 'give the appearance' of a non-biased point of view.

You're been a favorite of mine since NBC and yet I now feel you pushing way too hard.

I truly expected you to know better. You are a well educated, and now angry, women who has had every opportunity.

FINALLY!!! SOMEONE SPEAKING THE TRUTH. I't ok the ask hard questions, but she is so overtly pushing the candidacy of Obama. That's not her job. If she can't be unbiased, she should no longer be on camera. As a woman, a mother and a wife I am offended by her hard tactic interviews of supporters of Sarah Polin. I'ts embarrassing and difficult to watch. I can no longer watch CNN because of Soledad O'Brien and also Campbell Brown.

Soledad I think you should just wear a big sign across your forehead that says DEMOCRAT!!! I used to be a big fan of yours; especially before you entered the political arena but your reporting, interviewing etc with respect to this election is TOTALLY biased and obvious to all. Take a page from Wolf Blitzer and report the facts and ask OBJECTIVE questions that don't clearly show your political bias!

Soledad,
You really misrepresented Sarah Palin. Will we hear a retraction?
Please take a step back and look how you and other reporters are trying to tear down Palin. She is a daughter, wife, and mother. She is liked and respected by those she represents in Alaska. Perhaps attacks like yours are what Michelle Obama meant when she said America was MEAN.
Too bad we can't trust the reporters for our news.
Too bad you can't run for office without being wrongly being attacked by the like of you.

Your so cute but such ugly reporting.
I'am so disappointed in you.

Soledad does NOT show bias! She is too much the consummate professional to do that. If you think she expresses bias, then that bias is in your OWN "affected" mind. Someone of her stature is not going to be that sloppy. If you keep up with the blogs, you'll see that she is also accused of being biased in the "other direction". Watch a little closer and take your OWN biases out of the picture and you'll see that she is doing an excellent job as a journalist!
