Peter Bronson: Clinton-Hater, Lie Spreader, and Biased Journalist
BUZZFLASH READER COMMENTARY
by Cathy
Dear
BuzzFlash,
Thanks to those who took the time to email Peter Bronson of the Cincinnati
Enquirer about his anti Clinton article. Admittedly, I had to wait
to reply to Bronson with a cool head. He tried to palm me off by directing
me to a republican hate rag website to get the facts. We BuzzFlashers
have to challenge journalists/editors like Bronson in multitudes. They
are a big part of what is wrong with this country.

(My
letter)
Mr. Bronson,
I received your email and was too busy to reply until today.
I hate to beleaguer points, but evidently the "Official" Government
GAO report has been interpreted by two sets of eyes -- yours, and scores
of journalists who recognized that the Bush allegations were nothing more
than an attempt to smear the Clinton White House. I also interpreted the
report just as scores of journalists across the nation did. In fact, you
are the only journalist I've seen who interpreted the report results in
the manner that you did. I have read the report in its entirety and cannot
come up with anything that seriously justifies your publicized viewpoint.
You retorted that you had read the GAO report, then you referred me to
a republican-generated rag website to get the facts. I continue to be
amazed that any legitimate journalist and editor would refer a reader
to a right-wing hate rag. When I investigated the referred site, I found
that it is surely an anti-Clinton hate site and the brainchild of a wealthy
Houston businessman and republican operative. This site is a fountain
of misinformation with clear intent to smear the Clinton administration.
It is also obvious that their campaign to cut down Hillary Clinton is
in full bloom. Seems they fear that she could some day run for president.
That is the manner in which republican operatives work -- propagandizing
those who they fear. The site is right out of NewsMax, the most hate-riddled
website I've ever seen. Throw in Sean Hannity and Faux News as endorsers
of the Counter Clinton site and voila, we have a right-wing, hate-filled
website with distorted opinions and deviancy . . . But hey, this is America!
We are free to gobble up all the hate propaganda we choose, right? But
should these hate sites influence articles written by a journalist in
the Cincinnati Enquirer?
Just the fact that you referred me to this website tells me that you read
it. And your article demonstrates that it may have been written with tremendous
anti-Clinton influence. Your recent and past articles certainly reflect
most of what I saw at the Counter Clinton website. The spoon-fed, reading
public in Cincinnati is not as ignorant as you may think.
The "official" GAO report includes explanations and records
from the Clinton camp right under the Bush allegations. They are ALSO
documented in great detail by the GAO. Anyone who has thoroughly read
the actual report can't miss them. You dismissed the Clinton people by
insinuating they were liars in your article, yet did not offer a shred
of the investigated and documented defense in the GAO report. Furthermore,
George Bush ran from the allegations when the Clinton people became enraged
and demanded an investigation and the proof. Bush's Press Secretary publicly
admitted there was not much basis for the allegations and issued an apology.
Bush did not give Clinton a graceful pass. He backed off of the challenge,
knowing most of it was trumped up.
I seriously question the intentions of your article. In turn, I would
have to judge it as having no merit and void of credibility. As far as
I'm concerned, you can save yourself a lot of time by requesting permission
to reprint hate articles in the Enquirer from NewsMax and the Counter
Clinton Lie-brary.

retort to my objection email, verbatim:
Here's the website so you can draw your own conclusions. The facts I reporters
are documented in great detail.
