Watching CNN this morning, I saw Wolf Blitzer hosting a segment on "Late Edition" in which former Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski was paired with former Reagan Secretary of State Al Haig. OK, fair enough. One Democrat, one Republican. Fair and balanced, right? Wrong. Haig seems to be mostly a Bush-basher these days, targeting especially the Bush neoconservatives. Free country, of course, but if he was going to join Brzezinski in trashing Bush & Co., then the overall segment was poorly produced. It was not, in fact, fair and balanced. There's nothing wrong with criticizing this president, or any president or polititician, but there IS something wrong with stacking the deck, making the segment 2 on 0 as opposed to 1 on 1. And yet that's what CNN did.
