[A Citizen Reporter]

"Reading the press these last few days, I was prepared to dislike some of the president's proposals as they sounded very liberal to me, and like and expansion of goverment. It's quite possible Fred read the same press and wrote a prepared rebuttal to the president's speech before he actually heard it."

NO EXCUSES. Fred is responsible as a journalist not to read a prepared rebuttal. He is a paid live commentator.

I agree with what you said about Fred. Just a thought about why he didn't really filter out the crap he read to get to the real meat of what was said.
