To comment on the two conventions the Detroit Free Press televised a focus group. In the group were Democrats, Republicans and people who said they were independents. Among the independents were two members of Code Pink. This does not fall into the meaning of independent that would be expected by most all newspaper readers and TV viewers. A Free Press spokesman tried to rationalize the situation by saying:
“If there is a radical leftist or two in the group, I don’t care,” Essex told FOXNews.com. “I want a robust conversation, a complete range of political viewpoints.”
If by 'robust conversation' he meant lie and fraud, he got what he wanted. But trust in journalism and the Free Press has suffered.
