To quote another letter writer, who has summed up my thoughts: "When someone, like Manjoo, denies the reality of something I have experienced personally my inclination is to ignore them, and I certainly will ignore Manjoo from now on. I don't know what his agenda is, but he's got one, and it doesn't have much to do with the truth. Kennedy is far from perfect . . . .and he's far more credible than whatever the rightwing serves up through Manjoo.
I was sorry to see Salon publish this deceptive piece."
AS a paying member of Salon, I must now question the wisdom of supporting someone who misses the entire point of the Kennedy article. We must question the election, the MSM will not even let a whisper of this out, except in references to tinfoil hats and blogs. The vast majority of the American populace do not want to even admit that such a thing COULD happen, it is most important to ask DID it happen, and how could it happen. Manjoo seems to have a real personal agenda here, and frankly Salon is supposed to be a little more objective. An article with more encouragment for the questioning, and less worrying about the detailed analysis, which can come later would have been more appropriate at this point.
