Is Judge Sotomayor Racist?
May 27, 2009 | hiawatha, Kansas | Vetting explained
At the recent White House Correspondents Association dinner President Obama said
'Thomas Jefferson once said,” Obama declared, “that if he had the choice between a government without newspapers or newspapers without a government, he would not hesitate to choose the latter. Clearly Thomas Jefferson never had cable news to contend with, but his central point remains: a government without newspapers, a government without a tough and vibrant media of all sorts, is not an option for the United States of America.”
This was very funny yet very thought full. The media has taken Judge Sotomayor's qoute completely out of context.
This is blayent qoute mineing and the media should be ashamed.
To run a single quote OVER AND OVER AND OVER out of context is a slap in the face of all American's intelligence.
If you want to have a objective opinion about this please read the full speech from 2001 here:

The best iReports get vetted and used on CNN platforms.
The label “Not vetted by CNN” lets you know that this story hasn’t been both checked and cleared by a CNN editor.
iReport stories that have a red "CNN iReport" stamp in the corner have been vetted and
cleared. That means they've been selected and approved by a CNN producer to use on CNN,
