CHEAP SHOTS

February 9.2008

Your editorial “McCain and the Purist” was unfair and unbalanced. It appears that you have a strong dislike for Mitt Romney and were bent on destroying the man. At the beginning you state that his campaign was manufactured and phony. Your last paragraph inferred that he snowed the purists. In between you attacked the purist and argued the case for John McCain. The attack on Romney was nor justified. It was a cheap shot that lacked documentation and facts. We continually hear of dirty politics, your editorial was dirty journalism.

Everyday we are snowed by the presidential candidates whose campaigns are all manufactured and phony. They pay big bucks for people to plan, direct and write their speeches. They all conjure up dreams, hopes and change. Why aren’t you asking the question, HOW? I f anybody is being snowed it’s the Chicago Tribune.
