infamous = 'talked-about; popular'

[Tom Zurinskas]

It appears to me that CNN has a negative bias against our president.  The word "infamous" must refer to those who say it's not proper that he play on a "private" golf course.  What?  And then last night CNN after showing Rand Paul blaming the Prez for the sequester asks the viewers "Who do you think is the blame.?"  Talk about influencing a poll.  They never mentioned Repugnantcan brinkmanship.

On a second issue, I'd like to count how many times a sportscaster says "We talked about.." during a game.  It's everywhere.
