I sent an e-mail recently to ABC Weekend on their website addressed to Cokie Roberts. The gist of it was that her silence on Sunday was surprising when LaPierre accused the president of cynically exploiting violence to push gun control. Roberts herself said last summer that the president and the democrats wanted a campaign issue instead of legislation, after all.
Either Roberts believes this legislation would save lives or she doesn't. If she does, then she made exactly the same accusation that LaPierre made and more than once too. If she doesn't, why won't she herself speak up and challenge the president on legislation she does not think will do any good? Either way, her silence is an example of how "objective" journalism has long since given way to cartoonish editorializing against the NRA or anyone opposed to the Clinton administration on ABC.
Anyway, I don't believe this e-mail will reach anyone except some 21 year-old staffer from Wellesley who adores Roberts, hates guns, and will just hit the delete key when it shows up. (I like Roberts, too, I should say, except for things like this.)
Is there anyone here who knows, or knows how to access, more direct e-mail addresses at ABC?
Thanks.
