Reply #9: This has nothing to do with opinion. [View All]

This is a point of fact. CNN was not behind the DMR debate. CNN was not involved with the DMR debate. Wolf Blitzer was not involved with the DMR debate. CNN and Wolf Blitzer were involved with the previous Democratic debate, but DK was invited to that one, and that one had nothing to do with DMR. Perhaps he confused the two. Perhaps he is speculating beyond the bounds of accuracy. I can't claim to know why he said that CNN had anything to do with the DMR debate, but he was wrong to say that.

What he said here is wrong. What he said here is ignorant. Neither CNN nor Wolf Blitzer were involved with the DMR Iowa debate. There is no disagreement; there is no opinion; there is only the question of factual accuracy. And Mr. Vidal is outright wrong here.

Oh, and about AIPAC? I think bringing up that Blitzer is the "one-time voice of AIPAC" counts as implying that their interests are at stake here. Otherwise, those are wasted words, and Vidal is a better writer than that.
