Letter to NPR's Danial Shorr
A letter to NPR regarding Danial Shorr's recent commentary on the Libby Pardon.
To whom it may concern:
Hearing daily how NPR is a 'bullhorn' for the liberal left - with references to Mr. Shore's commentary as a major point of proof - I'm forced to submit this comment.
To summarize his 'analysis': don't analyze a President's pardons.
Any commentary that does not include a reference to how our current President's father used his pardon of Mr. Weinberger to effectively kill an investigation into Iran Contra; or lays out the current talking point about Clinton's pardon of Marc Rich without mentioning that Scooter Libby was that felon's lawyer are not fulfilling a journalists duty to inform his/her public.
If one is just going to be a glorified blogger, at least have a site where others can comment publicly.
No Liberal has ever wasted public airtime with the message : 'you are powerless to do anything, so just stop thinking about it.'
