Russ Feingold Sets CNN John Roberts Straight

Russ Feingold writes to John Roberts, co-anchor of CNN's "American Morning," after he made some false statements about the Feingold-Reid Iraq redeployment bill.

  I write to express my concern about your comments during CNN's Late Edition on April 15th. During the broadcast, you falsely implied that the Feingold-Reid Iraq redeployment bill would "cut off the funds in the middle of a war" for "troops in the field." While I certainly respect differences of opinion in the debate about the war, I strongly object to this mischaracterization of our effort. Our legislation forces the safe redeployment of troops by March 31, 2008, by prohibiting funds for continued military operations after that date, with a few narrow exceptions. Troops in the field would continue to get their salaries, food, ammunition, weapons, and other supplies as they currently do. You went on to suggest that such an approach has "never happened before." In fact, this is precisely the step Congress took in 1993 to end military operations in Somalia.

Does Fox News Consider It's Viewers Stupid?

   I am beginning to believe that Fox News has some really ignorant and/ or stupid viewers! I just walked into the house and on the TV screen is the usual Fox News ticker running along the bottom of the screen with  " Breaking News " that Alberto Gonzales is going to testify about the attorney purge scandal.

   We have all know this was going to happen for some time now so my question is, are Fox viewers so forgetful about events that the news channel has to remind them about things that will be going on, or does Fox News consider their viewers stupid? On top of that, this is not breaking news!
