Begging for real journalism, or truth seeking

Dear Mara Liasson and Morning Edition,

When broadcasting Republican talking points and commercials, would you please check them for accuracy? They often lie openly, as they did in the ad you broadcast by Rep. Nancy Johnson on Sept. 19. Connecticut State Senator Chris Murphy actually supports the current law which allows for government interception of calls before an actual FISA court document is filed 72 hours later. I know that it's more work to research claims about issues, especially legal ones, but I think that's real journalism, don't you? Also, these issues appear to be an absolute distraction from Iraq and the real war on terror (which Bush appears to be fighting exclusively with his bully pulpit debates on torture and wire tapping). Can we ask when and how we are catching and fighting terrorists, outside of Iraq, soon? Thank you.
