CNN’s Roland Martin Interviews Hillary

We hit CNN’s Roland Martin, and CNN, hard on March 26th in Fleaflicker’s story, “Why Doesn’t CNN’s Roland Martin Get Axed like Carville and Begala Did?” We pointed out that Martin appears to be “a professional apologist for and supporter of Barack Obama,” and that he gives short shrift to Hillary Clinton’s qualities and candidacy.
We pointed out, in Fleaflicker’s story, that he “is also a friend and close associate of Obama’s national Co-Chairman, Jesse Jackson Jr. and he attends the Salem Baptist Church of Reverend James Meeks, another of Barack Obama’s spiritual advisors.” (We hoped that CNN and Roland Martin would take note of our concerns. That was the point of the story.)
We are pleased to find this YouTube of CNN’s Roland Martin interviewing Hillary Clinton yesterday in Memphis, following her speech:
In this wide-ranging interview, CNN’s Roland Martin asks Hillary Clinton about the legacy of Martin Luther King, the inequalities that impoverished youths face to this day, the national discussion about race, and more.
Thank you, Mr. Martin, for a fair and balanced interview.
We also look forward to fair and balanced commentary on CNN.
