I think Lehrer is much fairer than most interviewers.
He attempted to make Kerry's point that Iraq was not as good as Allawi was portraying it.
Allawi told him that he is frustrated with the negative reporting and doesn't understand why the positives are not reported.
I thought Allawi did a good job of putting Jim in his place.
Perhaps. But only from a relative point of view. The only choice of fairness that one has from the MSM is bad or worse. Jim is just bad.
