I appreciate Campbell Brown’s recent comments on bias in the media, and the White House’s attention diverting war with Fox. In a YouTube clip, Campbell said she believed CNN is still trying to do professional journalism. something the country needs. I agree that professional objective journalism is fundamentally essential to continued freedom in our country. I would like to applaud CNN, if and when this becomes true.
- Could you do a followup report on the refunding of ACORN, and the additional income streams the Obama admin. has recently written into law for this corrupt organization?
- Could you do a report on the Admin. claim of saving or creating 650,000 jobs in context with the 3.3 million jobs lost since this Administration enacted it’s economic stimulus plans?
- Could you do a report (again in context) on how the 3.5% increase in the GDP reported this weekend all came from the Govt spending sector of the economy, and all this economic activity came from borrowed, or printed money? Is spending based on a govt line of credit really increased economic activity and signs of a recession that is turning around?
I believe, and not without evidence, that if a Republican admin were playing cataclysmically fast and loose with the country’s financial data and policies, as is this admin, that the time CNN dedicated to cover this fraud would be significantly more than have aired in the past 10 months.
I came to appreciate CNN during the first Desert Storm Iraqi war. The professionalism and risk your reporters displayed was far above that of many of your peers. Consequently, CNN defined cable news, and rocketed to the top of the ratings. If the ratings are accurate, CNN has been replaced at the top. Why? Could it be that in light of this decades streaming news sources and fewer collective message gatekeepers, when a network has a bias, it is difficult to hide it for long?
The country needs more than one objective professional journalism news networks. Examples of political corruption and backroom dealings are rampant, that would propel the reporter’s reputation to the status of Woodward and Bernstein. CNN could again fill that role. Any one of you could be that journalist.
Sincerely:
An American who loves truth and knows when he’s being ’spun’
