It seems that the producers and staff of CBS Evening News are a bit thin-skinned. Recently, CBS News Reporter Katie Couric recently produced a series of “reports” on Iraq. CBS has taken a considerable amount of criticism over these pieces ever since. In fact, they’ve taken to insulting people who criticize their work.
So now, I’ve taken to writing my own letter of criticism over the way CBS news insults people who criticize. My letter is written to two senior producers at CBS Evening News, Jim McGlinchy (jmp@cbsnews.com) and Betty Chin ( bc2@cbsnews.com).
My LTE – The Politics of Name-Calling
Last Week the Liberal activist organization “MoveOn” ran a half-page advertisement in the New York Times against the pending September 11 Iraq report. The report was previously planned to be presented by the U.S. Army General Field Commander, General Petraeus. MoveOn used a clever play-on-words with the General’s name, referring to the General as “Betray Us” to make Their Point. Their Point being that MoveOn was simply asking the General to be honest in his report, not parrot President Bush’s talking points.
This ad has caused an uprising of angst and outrage amongst Conservatives all across these United States of America.
