I viewed the political cartoon [A6, Aug. 19] with disgust. It is typical of the usual liberal-biased, unfounded piece of work that these cartoons usually represent. The idea rolled off the on-the-air, polluted lips of Andrea Mitchell suggesting that McCain may have received an unfair advantage by suggesting that he received the questions in advance and Obama didn’t.
It is certainly pitiful that the libs have to make up something out of the air when their candidate is beaten fair and square with identical questions and falls on his face.
This is the same biased Andrea Mitchell who previously spoke despairingly about Appalachia (and you took her to task, too). She apologized, but it was apparent that those remarks were her belief – as usual she just couldn’t control herself on air.
This same Andrea Mitchell is married to Alan Greenspan, whose policies led to the financial mess this country is in now. Her remarks about the questions are typical of libs – when you don’t have the facts, attack (just like the old lawyer adage – if you have the facts, argue the facts, if not, attack the other side).
It’s a pity that with all the myriad of real, large problems this country faces, that the editorship finds their niche in these factless cartoons and attacking small town such as Damascus, Piney Flats and Bluff City. I feel sure that the voters in these areas know first-hand much more of what they need to do and not do than the Bristol Herald Courier.
