She didn't sincerely apologize, she was forced to apologize.

They should fire her.

Only 28% of the population wants the Syrian refugee influx that our Dictator in Chief so desires.

Apparently even CNN understands that arithmetic.

Dictator, this is how government works.

Yes lets use opinion polls like we did for Japanese internment camps in WW2, great idea.

So popular opinion makes something right ? Im not even saying I disagree with the sentiment, only that if you are going to use a popular opinion argument, then it is going to be uniform across the site, not just this one case.

Yeah opinion polls!

What`s next, popular referendums?

This will of the people **** has got to stop!


FTR, opinion polls were just fine last year when the subject was same-sex marriage.

So the correspondent is just another "journalist" who carries water for Obama. Is she friends with Candy Crowley?

Can't differentiate one situation form another can you?

The all or nothing at all lib attitude is the stuff of computer programing and lawyers.

Sometimes you can and sometimes you can't use popular opinion.

Honestly, I think many in the media on the far left and many in high office that are also on the left have psychiatric disorders.

Aren't reporters hired to report the facts of a news story? This reporter was not a talking head on a political talk show who is expected to give her opinion about the news.

Elsie is a reporter and sharing her personal opinions is unprofessional as a journalist.
