“Kudos to Chuck Roberts for making the honorable admission....”?

Now we are supposed to praise Chuck Roberts? A mere apology means nothing unless he also reveals what motivated him. I believe it was intentional to undermine him for the general elections. It is part of CNN’ push for GOP and other right wing candidates.

Apology is not enough. He must also explain what motivated him to refer to Lemont as the Al Qaeda candidate. He absolutely should not remain in the position he occupies...CNN has no credibility as an news organization.

Kudos for apologizing?  Mr. Roberts is a professional.  He full well knows that misrepresenting the facts, falsifying the truth, and defamatory statements are always unacceptable. Especially when uttered by news persons.  CNN has been harmed by the falacious remarks and Mr. Roberts should be fired.  Immediately.  Where is Ted Turner when you need him?  He need to purchase CNN and return it to its once respected status.

It seems Chuck Roberts meant it tongue-in-cheek, which is easily misinterpreted these days—one should be very careful—it can lead to unfortunate misunderstanings, what with the likes of Cheney around.
