Reply #22: My e-mail to CNN [View All]

I just heard Bill Hemmer on-air say that he is "awfully concerned" that there will be "Bush-basing" at the Democratic convention. He repeatedly tried to get Bill Richardson to promise that there would be no "Bush-bashing" at the Democratic convention. Will Mr. Hemmer be equally "concerned" about Democrat and Kerry bashing when the GOP convention rolls around? Will he try equally as hard to get the head of the GOP convention to promise that there will not be any Democratic or Kerry bashing at their convention??????
While Mr. Hemmer is certainly entitled to vote for whomever he chooses--I would like to see him at least pretend to be a fair, and inpartial journalist on air. Someone needs to remind him that is what journalists are supposed to do--something he seems to keep forgetting as this is not the first time that his biases have crept forth on the air and I'm guessing it won't be the last either. I used to be a huge CNN fan but this kind of coverage just makes me flip the channel as fast as I can.
