A Question For Gibson and Stephanopoulos

"Do you honestly believe that someone with a solid track record as a lawmaker in a Heartland state which elected him to the U.S. Senate, who is now seeking to make some positive American history as our first black president, is somehow un-American, or unpatriotic? Does that even make any sense? Question his policies, or question his leadership. because that is your job as a journalist. But don't insult our intelligence by questioning his patriotism," - Will Bunch, Philadelphia Daily News.

The truth is: neither Gibson nor Stephanopoulos believes that Obama is unpatriotic. But they think it is their duty as journalists to ask the question.
