Below the jump is my open letter to CNN's President Jon Klein which I submitted here. I invite every truth-loving person to join me in defending the honor of the President of the United States and condemning Mr. Dobbs' abhorrently racist and blatantly unprofessional behavior.
TO: CNN President Jon Klein
RE: Promoting the Birther Conspiracies
I am dismayed and incensed that CNN, who I used to trust as a reasonably objective news source, is allowing Lou Dobbs to continue his overtly racist attack against the President of the United States by legitimizing the birther conspiracists. You yourself, Mr. Klein, are said to have told the staff of Mr. Dobbs' show the issue is dead, and yet you are not insisting that Mr. Dobbs follow basic journalistic standards of reporting the facts. I am appalled, Mr. Klein, that you permit Mr. Dobbs a bully pulpit with which to foment national white supremacist bigotry over a made up, disproved non-issue. I whole heartedly support the First Amendment, but if Mr. Dobbs wishes to vent his personal bigotry, he can do so from a soap box in the park. You do not have to allow him to do so under the guise of a news host on your worldwide network. CNN is fast losing credibility over this, and is no longer a trustworthy news source in our house. Please, Mr. Klein, stand up to the political pressures bearing down on you, do what you know is right, and insist that Mr. Dobbs cease undermining the President of the United Stated with racists conspiracies.
