Al Wynn of the CBC send letter to the Hill newspaper slamming them for Distortions
According to Talking Points Memo in the Election Central section, al wynn fired off a letter to the Hill newspaper for distortion and saying that Obama snubbed them.
here is a copy of the letter sent:

Dear Editor,

I want to take strong exception to the article that ran in yesterday's paper entitled, "Obama Snubs Black Caucus." The views depicted in the article are a deliberate distortion of my remarks to the reporter. I explained to the reporter in great detail that there was no risk or snub involved, but merely a matter of logisitics. This appears to be a calculated attempt to portray divisiveness between Barack Obama and the CBC that do not in fact exist. Senator Obama has always expressed his willingness to host a fundraiser for the CBC PAC. We are working together to secure a date and avoid a scheduling conflict. The Senator has been very supportive of the CBC PAC's efforts, and I am confident that he will continue to do so in the future.

Sincerely,

Albert R. Wynn

Member of Congress

first a reporter distorts things with Obama's pastor and he fires off an letter slamming the reporter and the New York Times for making an issue where there was none.
Broder and the Washinton Post make it seem like Harry Reid is hanging by a thread with the other senators and is a bumbling ass so, the senate fires off a letter where all the democratic senators sign it saying he was not truthful.
Then the Hill tries the same thing and they get slammed for doing so.
Do you think someday that the msm will get the message that distorted reporting and making up controservies where there are none are not going to be tolerated anymore.
That one reason for losing viewers and readers is the way they act, especially if there is a D by their name.
And that the readers and the people around the person they are trying to paint in a bad light are not standing for it anymore either.
