Moments ago I sent the following memo to ABC News.
"In light of the recent revelations about an internal memo written by Mark Halperin, Political Director of ABC News, I have heard people on various talk shows give a pass to Mr. Halperin for his memo which says that President Bush's campaign should be held more accountable than that of John Kerry. I do not understand how this could or should be. It goes against sense of fairness. You should immediately severely reprimand Mr. Halperin and take him to task for a breach of journalism ethics. Or discharge him. That would be better. His value system and impartiality are certainly in question.
"I formerly had the opinion that ABC would treat the political candidates fairly and equally. Now I cannot believe that it is that way if this is the underlying philosophy of your Political Director Mark Halperin.
"Do you no longer care about the integrity of your news organization?"
I am convinced that those of us who care about our nation must pursue breaches of the public trust like this.
wow that is an excellent memo!!
