This letter is associated with the following article:
Joan Walsh on the last Democratic primary debate and the candidates' missed opportunities.
  • Why the continuing deception?

    Why is the article not titled "Will Obama and Hillary's Stumbles Hurt Both of Them?" If the point is really what the byline suggests, an examaination of both coandidates missed opportunities, why is Obama singled out for failure in the title? And how odd that when ABC has been skewered all over the place for its lousy coverage and personaity-issue driven questions—even causing George Stephanopoulos to come out in defense of himself against a tirade of criticism—Walsh puts the emphasis on Obama dropping the ball, not ABC. Indeed, she barely seems concerned or critical about the tone of questioning at all. Once again, Salon pretends objectivity while seeking every opportunity to single out Obama for attack.
