Clinton news network

I turned the TV off after last night's debate, but those who left theirs on CNN got a panel including David Gergen, J.C. Watts (formerly the GOP's token black congressman) and James Carville. Gergen and Carville's work for the [Bill] Clinton White House were noted, but somehow it never slipped out that Carville is currently an adviser to [Hillary] Clinton's campaign.

During the discussion, Carville said good things about Clinton's performance, while he criticized Barack Obama's.

The discussion clearly involved the expression of opinions, or what Sprio Agnew used to call "instant analysis and querulous criticism," but shouldn't the audience know that one of the panelists had a horse in the race?
