Just an FYI, Anderson Cooper 360 got it wrong about Kerry and
Edwards. They claimed Edwards came out to apologize on Sunday, and then claimed that Kerry just did the same today. I just want to scream. I e-mailed him. I think we have got to correct these misconceptions. The 360 misstatement made it look like Kerry was actually following Edwards lead. I would like to know why Edwards is not coming out to clarify this misconception. it makes him look shady and dishonest IMO.

1. maybe they don't have time for petty, "I said it first" type crap.
I know I wouldn't waste my time on it.

3. I already wrote to them and refereed them to the Georgetown University
speech. I don't think it is petty, it leaves the wrong impression about who is leading who.A President should be a leader not a follower. Actually, I don't see why it was necessary to even bring up Edwards at all.

4. because they are trying to reduce this to a petty argument
and maybe Edwards is just trying to not get involved and have it become a fake larger issue.

The media is really good at doing that type of thing.

5. I just emailed them links to Pitt's article and mentioned his Georgetown
speech.

Not that it's a race or anything. But I swear Kerry could light himself on fire, and no one would notice.

7. What's silly is that
today, when JK was saying it was wrong, he actually said, "I said that before Senator Edwards said that." So, yeah, CNN might be taking things out of context.

9. Normally I'd ignore something like this.
But Cooper should know what's said on his own network. Man.

10. Luckily only 40 people out there watch 360
It's sort of sad to watch CNN being flushed down the toilet.

11. I know, they seemed to be getting better than they went back to
being terrible. I liked Aaron Brown. I also like Anderson Cooper, but his new show is just terrible.
