.... was a trial balloon, to see if they got any negative feedback about Peterson. To see how many people in the hinterlands know who that SOB is. I didn't see it, because I never watch the show anymore. But, if I had landed there while surfing and heard them blessing that POS, I would have quietly walked to the utility room, searched out the hammer and crashed the TV. And then I would have written them and said pretty much verbatim what Bernie said. Perhaps they did get a ton of letters informing them what kind of character Peterson is, including the one from Bernie. Rather than say what overwhelming feedback they had, they chose to just read Bernie's letter.
