after reading their "headline" for the top story...

I wrote this to 'em:

Editorial slant...for crying out loud, folks! For this story:

http://www.cnn.com/2004/ALLPOLITICS/03/24/911.commission/index.html

you've used the front page headline "Panel Member Challenges Clarke's Credibility". (see at http://www.cnn.com ) Have you read your own story? It's a large article covering both days of testimony and all who testified, as well as many who unfortunately chose not to, for various reasons. All the way at the end of that treatise there's ONE statement by Lehman saying Clarke "had a credibility problem" (which Clarke parried well)...and another statement by Kerrey defending Clarke's integrity.
The headline you chose for the story may get you extra readers, but it's a partisan cheap-shot that is bound to influence those who don't read the entire article. Thanks for not getting the truth out there yet again.


If it's still headlined that way, feel free to bitch 'em out yourselves...
