TVNL Editor's Comments: This morning on CNN Bill Hemmer was talking to Senator John McCain about the agreement made by members of the Senate so that they can avoid a filibuster. During this conversation Hemmer brought up the comments by Minority Leader Reid where he mentioned sending a message to the “radical” arm of the right. When Hemmer quoted Reid his face and voice expressed outrage at such an assertion, as if it was preposterous to think that anyone on the right is a radical. Well, this is NOT journalism. A journalist is there to report events, not take sides. Not only was Hemmer’s assertion that there are no radicals on the right absurd, but his conduct and a pretend journalist is deplorable. Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org
