An Open Letter to Chris Matthews

To Chris Matthews:

Yesterday, you compared Osama Bin Laden to Michael Moore. Michael Moore is an American filmmaker. Osama Bin Laden is a terrorist who murdered three thousand Americans. This type of McCarthyite smear has no place in American journalism, let alone on a major TV network.

You owe Michael Moore, and the American public you serve as a journalist, an apology.

MSNBC doesn't allow public feedback on its web site. This blog does. Please keep commentary civil, but do let Chris Matthews know what you are thinking.
