Your coverage on Georgia

The New York Times California edition was put to bed at the same time your show was produced last night. It was truelly depressing to see two old cold war hawks rehashing a view of Russia that is 30 years out of date.

I hope whoever puts the news together tonight at least reads the NYTimes today.

Your show last night was little more than propaganda for the Gerogian view of the conflict. Two sides of this story is not the a Democratic vs. Republican hawk, it is how Russia sees the world, how the US screwed up by encouraging Georgia publically while trying to reign them in privately, and how there are many layers of complexity in this story. How would we feel if Mexico elected a leftist and started having thousands of Russian military advisers and artillary and aircraft poured in.

Your jornalism is what got us into the Irag war. It is the kind of reporting perspective on a small client state that got the two sides into WWI almost a century ago. You should feel ashamed of your jingoistic superficiality.
