Barbara Walters Special

November 16, 2008

Dear Ms. Walters,

I was surprised and disappointed by your Special Friday night. I had not expected you to play such an ignorant role in the process of interviewing someone who is transgendered and opted to use his left over female organs to have a baby. Given your status in the media world, I would have expected a certain amount of sophistication and objectivity around the issue. Your shocked responses and hostile questions played more like a salacious National Enquirer piece than a credible and meaningful look into the delicate issues of complex human beings. For a woman of your exposure and opportunity, I was surprised to see you behaved like a sheltered rural housewife.
