Here's an email I got from SEIU (Service Employees International Union)


CNBC isn't exactly a shining example of responsible journalism. The financial news network has been ridiculed for enabling the financial crisis with flawed reporting and fawning coverage of failed CEOs.

Well, CNBC is at it again. Yesterday, CNBC's Jim Cramer and Erin Burnett made a ridiculous, irresponsible statement. Cramer and Burnett compared the aftermath of Iran's recent election to what would happen under the Employee Free Choice Act.

Huh?

This is the height of irresponsible journalism. Jim Cramer and Erin Burnett need to hear from you now about their reckless reporting.

Send an email directly to Cramer and Burnett. They need to get the message that this kind of coverage is unacceptable.

Here was my response:
I note with interest your attempt to equate the EFCA with the Iran election. I guess when you're on the wrong side of the issue, your only recourse is to lie. There is nothing in EFCA that would deprive anyone of a secret ballot. And in any case, the problem in the Iranian election isn't about secret ballots, it's about stolen, miscounted, and uncounted votes. Better you should compare the Iranian election to the 2000 US election and the Bush v. Gore decision than that you should bring in the red herring of EFCA.
