Michael Berg is the father of Nick Berg who was slain by terrorist mastermind Abu Musab al-Zarqawi in Iraq in 2004. He’s also a committed pacifist and a candidate for Congress in Delaware.
When al-Zarqawi was killed by U.S. forces on June 7, the press was all over Michael Berg for comment. And Berg delivered, saying he took no joy in the death of another.
Not surprisingly, Berg’s comments incensed blood-lusting right-wing noise merchants who were reveling in al-Zarqawi’s death – noise merchants like Bill Bennett, radio host and commentator – paid commentator – for CNN.
During his June 8 morning radio program, Bennett spotted Berg being interviewed on CNN. Here’s what he said:
What’s it going to take for CNN to fire Bennett. He’s a loud advocate for jailing reporters who publish leaks. He urges listeners to turn off CNN. Isn’t CNN, by keeping this guy on the payroll, sowing the seeds of its own demise and destruction?
