The mainstream media is as split as the
public over whether or not there are still Reverend Jeremiah
Wright questions to be answered by Democratic presidential
candidate Barack Obama. CNN's John
Roberts, for one, has decided to cease and desist Reverend Wright
references. Roberts interviewed both Barack Obama and Hillary
Clinton airing today, and discussed gas taxes, the economy, and other
pressing issues.
"Rather than spend one second of time on an issue
that isn't really relevant to people because there's been no news on it, I
thought I'd spend the time talking to these candidates about issues that
really matter to people," John Roberts said.
Tim
Russert, though, of NBC, felt differently. "I don't take
questions off the table," Russert told the AP. "I was just in Indiana and I assure
you, everywhere I went, people came up to me and asked me about
it."
What do you think? Is declaring a "Wright-free zone" a good or a
bad idea?
