The immediate CNN coverage seemed to be fair.

The reporter (I forget his name, he is a bald fellow), who has been following this case closely since day one, who knows the area Rudolph was hiding in made it clear that it is a very small percentage of the locals who supported ERR. He made it clear that the vast majority of them wanted him captured and tried.

It was no surprise to me that the NY Times reporter (who had likely been in the area just a matter of hours, if that) made it seem as though everyone in W. NC was a supporter of ERR.

The CNN reporter who's been following this case since the beginning is Art Harris, I do believe.

I live in the area and yes there are some ignorant people up here just like there is in EVERY community. It is disturbing that the NYT wants to portray everyone up here as being ignorant.
