Miles O'Brien Lies on CNN

Thu Aug 26, 2004 at 03:24:50 PM PDT

This is the text of the e-mail I sent to CNN because of their obvious willingness to do no actual interpretation of the news, but simply be a speakerbox for Bushco.  He said that the fact that John Kerry saved Jim Rassman's life was "in dispute"

Dear Mr. O'Brien,

I was watching CNN today and you stated that there was some dispute as to whether or not John Kerry saved Jim Rassman's life in Vietnam.  I was wondering, since you seem willing to allow facts to be so openly disputed, can I be invited on to state that the moon is made out of Key Lime Pie. I have seen the moon, I have eaten Key Lime Pie, and I am relatively able to say out loud that therefore the moon is made of Pie.  Since you seem so willing to overlook fact when making assertions, can I get some free airtime?

You are not a journalist, you are a parrot (see example)

SBVfT: " We have no concrete proof for any of our assertations, but John Kerry is a liar "

Miles O'Brien and CNN " John Kerry is a liar, squak! John Kerry is a liar "

At least when I watch Fox news I know I am being lied to, you seem to want me to believe you actually do research.  That seriously demeans my and most American's intelligence.

Sincerely,
Mr. Matthew Wisnefske
