Dear Mr. Klein:
Your suspension of Robert Novak was unjustified. He made a mistake by cursing on the air but he apologized for that. He had every right, however, to walk off the set because of the obnoxious and rude behavior on the part of James Carville toward him. Novak, a respected journalist, should never have been paired against Carville, a liberal partisan operative who resorts to personal attacks. Carville is the one who should have been suspended. This shabby treatment of a well-known conservative journalist adds to the perception that CNN is trying to transform itself into a full-fledged liberal network where conservatives are not welcome. Please convince me this is not the case—if you can.
