     COMMENTS: ABC’s Sloppy Karl Joins CBS’ Andrews & NBC’s Williams

&vidTyndall Report has already complained about the sloppy reporting of NBC's Pete Williams and CBS' Wyatt Andrews in covering the political attacks on Sonia Sotomayor, the federal judge nominated to the Supreme Court. Now ABC's Jonathan Karl falls into the same trap in attempting to explain why radio talkshow host Rush Limbaugh and former Speaker Newt Gingrich both label Sotomayor a "racist."

This is how Karl characterized Sotomayor's controversial words: "A wise Latina woman would make better decisions than a white male." Let us repeat Sotomayor's overlooked qualifiers that defang that racism rap: her comparison was an aspiration--"I would hope that"--not an assertion…she never said the decisions would be uniformly better, only better "more often than not"…her comparison did not pit that wise woman against every white man but only with those white men who lacked "richness of experiences."

Come to think of it, why do Gingrich and Limbaugh focus on the ethnic facet of the comparison? Sotomayor's comment had at least as much to do with men and women as between whites and Hispanics. Does that not make her sexist too?

In Wyatt Andrews' report on CBS Wednesday, he pointed out that abortion rights activists were unable to find any evidence in Sotomayor's record that she agreed with them. Now NBC's Williams and ABC's Jan Crawford Greenburg find the same uncertainty. "On abortion," noted Crawford Greenburg, "both sides in the contentious debate want to know more." Or as NBC's Williams put it: "With this nominee it is a mystery. Both sides on the abortion issue agree on this, that they are eager to know exactly what Sotomayor thinks about abortion."
