 Chuck Roberts of CNN Headline News needs to get some mail, a lot of mail, for his totally outrageous comments while discussing the impact of the foiled British terror plot with Hotline senior editor John Mercurio. Roberts asked Mercurio, "How does this factor into the Lieberman/Lamont contest? And might some argue, as some have, that Lamont is the al Qaeda candidate?" Can anyone tell me why the so-called liberal media immediately starts reading from the Republican playbook everytime something happens in this country? Robert's question was scurrilous and disgraceful. We have come to a point in this country that even questioning a war makes one a terrorist. Ned Lamont is an American running for the U S Senate in the proud tradition of hundreds of other men and women who have sought that office since the founding of our country. Ned Lamont does not represent Al Qaeda. Ned Lamont represents the hopes of 10's of thousands of Connecticut citizens who voted for him, hoping that he would bring a voice of reason to the debate in the Congress over the feasibility of leaving our troops in the middle of a bloody civil war in Iraq. I am totally disgusted with the Corporate media, CNN and Chuck Roberts for their total lack of any semblence of integrity or fairness. Their Fox-like way of asking a question in such a manner as to suggest a conclusion is not journalism. Go to http://www.cnn.com/feedback/ and tell him what you think about it. |
