Michael Getler writes about FAIR's
criticism of "NewsHour with Jim Lehrer": "I thought the most important element of the FAIR critique was its point about the imbalance in views expressed about Iraq. ...I share the sense that strong voices in opposition have not been heard nearly as often as those who support a 'stay the course' position or a slightly more moderate view." ALSO: "I find the program occasionally frustrating; sometimes too polite, too balanced when issues are not really balanced, and too many political and emotion-laden statements pass without factual challenges from the interviewer."
