Take Action

On Sunday, October 9, CBS' 60 Minutes is scheduled to feature an interview with former FBI director Louis Freeh, whose upcoming book is reportedly "scathing" towards former President Clinton. According to media reports, many former Clinton administration officials dispute Freeh's allegations, but CBS is unwilling to give them a chance to respond during Sunday's 60 Minutes broadcast.

Take action! Urge the producers of 60 Minutes to provide an opportunity for a Clinton administration official to respond to Freeh. Remind 60 Minutes producers that when they hosted former National Security Council counterterrorism coordinator Richard Clarke to talk about his book, Against All Enemies, the segment included an interview with a Bush administration official disputing Clarke's allegations.

      I called the number: (212) 975-3247.

      It appears CBS has had enough from MMFA readers. I called less than 3 minutes ago. Their offices should still be open.

      I sent them an Email.

      Was very polite and to the point that they really should either allow Clinton on next week or as soon as possible or his designated speaker and allow a point for point rebuttal.

      I also told them they need to go back to investigative journalism and stop doing celebrity crud. Go after authority and hold their feet to the fires.

      Freeh is just trying to sell a book and has found the best way is to attack Clinton. The redstate Koolaid drinkers will go apeshiite over it and he'll sell hundreds of copies.(I figure that's about all who can read)
