Just sent Soledad O'Brien an e-mail....

The bias of these so-called "journalists" grows ranker by the day. She and Bill Schneider were discussing poll numbers. You will gather from the e-mail I sent her (below) what the issue was about and what I thought of her whoring:

"This is a question for Soledad? Please help me to understand how you can make a pronouncement regarding the 1-point lead Bush has over Kerry at the present time, 48-47%, (which is a statistical dead-heat), make it sound strikingly significant, and then turn directly around and note to Mr. Schneider that the 3-point drop in Mr. Bush's approval rating (from 49-46%) is "within the statistical margin of error", and imply that obviously it is of no significant importance.

If you folks really believe that you are NOT "propping up Bush" by your slanted and opinionated reporting, you really need to be in another business because you obviously miss the entire point of journalism."

6. Soledad is lonely.

That's why she needs to say things that will give her instant affection from the Repubs.
