I think, in their haste to get these folks on the air, they failed to properly research the story. I don't think they knew of this connection. And, once again, they are left looking like partisan hacks.
As much as it pains me to say this, that includes FNC. However, I do expect Brit Hume to have something to say about this on "Special Report", probably in the Grapevine segment. He won't be able to help himself. ;o)
You're giving more benefit of the doubt than I would. The 9/11 widows have been "making waves" since about October 2001, and all the media folks are familiar (or should be familiar) with their political inclination and anti-Bush sentiment. I'm not saying these folks should not have a voice, but it is deceptive to trot them out as representative of general sentiment. And, to try to "balance" it later, by giving time to other direct victims of 9/11 doesn't constitute balance at all.
I want the media to be exposed for what is is, an active advocate for the DNC positions.
That's similar to my view but with a few changes:
I think, in their haste delight to get these folks on the air, they deliberately failed to properly research the story. I don't think they knew wanted to know of this connection. And, once again, they are shown to be left looking like partisan hacks.
I sure hope he does. I was extremely disappointed that he didn't mention the Heinz-Tides Foundation link yesterday morning during the panel discussion on Fox News Sunday.
