I've been down on CNN for a while but David Gergen, Carl Bernstein and Roland Martin deserve high praise for refusing to buy into talk radio's shit storm over Obama's comments about his grandmother being "a typical white woman" on Anderson Cooper 360 a few minutes ago. I can only paraphrase but Gergen again supported Obama saying that Obama had spoken the truth about race and stereotypes and that the media should not be trying to pick apart every word or phrase to play gotcha. Bernstein was right with him and then Martin said explicitly that CNN should not be doing what talk radio does. They all called for a candid, honest and adult conversation of race and stereotypes and for that they deserve credit.
I believe this segment will be shown again in the 11:00 p.m. EDT hour and it's well worth watching.
Sorry for the short diary but I wanted to get this out there.
