Contact the media! Get them to run the Robertson story!
I'm sick of hearing nothing but how Teresa Heinz-Kerry apologized to Laura Bush. Is it newsworthy? Sure. But why are none of the pundits tonight talking about Pat Robertson's claim that Bush said we would not have a single casualty by going to war with Iraq? Over 1,100 deaths later, you have to question the media's priorities.

I just wrote an email to Hardball, which I have copied below. I'd like to ask that you consider shooting an email to them or any of the other news programs that have not yet run the Robertson story.

Cheers,
Sagar

So you decide to re-hash today's story about Teresa Heinz-Kerry criticizing Laura Bush for (erroneously) having never had a real job. Fine. But what about Pat Robertson's comment today that Bush told him there would not be any US casualties in Iraq? Over 1,100 deaths later, one must ask where MSNBC's priorities lie when they hammer the Heinz-Kerry story and not even mention the Robertson claim.

I expected more from Hardball.

Sincerely,
Sagar Jethani

Since the White House has now said Robertson lied, the thing really ought to widely covered....
