I sent a letter to lots of people at CNN (and elsewhere) expressing outrage at CNN's coverage of the DNC convention, particularly its line-up of Republicans (John O'Neill and Bob Dole providing character analysis of Kerry in "Born to Run" Sunday right before the convention; people like Brent Bozell and Laura Ingraham and Zell Miller speaking unrefuted about the convention). I offered a list of liberals for them to invite to provide character analysis of Bush in their biography of him, and to comment after each important speech and event of the convention. (I posted a draft here a few days ago, and thanks to those of you who helped with names and other edits!)
The reply said they'd be inviting many of the people on my list (!) but that they'd probably not be unrebutted, because they had someone from the other side for "balance" in most of the interviews with Republicans.
I'm pretty sure Brent Bozell, Laura Ingraham and Zell Miller were not rebutted. Perhaps they consider a subsequent interview a "rebuttal," but it's not (CNN's anchors are expert at providing the RNC response for their interviews with Democrats, but let every smear, innuendo and outright lie of Republicans stand)!
It's hard to wade through the transcripts, but if you recall a day and time or show name (or better yet, if you could dig it up and link to the transcript) where the conservative critic was not rebutted, please post it here.

Thanks! :)
