Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
CNN ex-chief Eason Jordan: "I went to the Pentagon several times before the war started ... and we got a big thumbs up" on the military analysts we wanted to use. "That was important."
  • All about money...

    1) If the money's big enough, people will lie.

    2) If it's bigger, people will kill.

    3) If it's bigger still, people will start wars guaranteed to kill innocent civilians.

    TV news media stands at step 1, with even their lower-tier "journalists" making million-dollar salaries. What's the big deal with hypocrisy if the money's flowing?

    "Liberal" media or not, Bush, McCain and the Republicans create policies that strongly favor people making TV news media-level money.

    Real-life anecdote: an aunt and uncle of mine were liberal-progressive med students. After landing six-figure plus jobs, they had a change of heart. And why not? A Republican in office meant they kept $20,000 or more per year, which they could use however they wanted.

    Why would a guy like CNN's John Klein be any different?
