One of those "reminiscences" she talked about interested National Review's new media blogger, as it interests me. Here's the way Feuer, reluctant reporter, described a disagreement with CNN's veteran correspondent, Bob Franken:

His quarrel with Franken had begun the very moment Franken had expressed his horror that Fox News anchors wore American flag lapel pins on the air.
"How can you be a patriot and a journalist?" Franken had asked. "They’re mutually exclusive occupations." T.R., who considered himself both, had asked why Franken could not love his country, to which had come the answer, "America is not my country. I’m a citizen of the world."

"Like Danny Pearl?" T.R. had asked. "You are American, Bob… it is a nonnegotiable fact."

"My goodness," Franken had said. "I think your employers at the New York Times would be horrified, horrified! to hear you say a thing like that."

from this article. the author does go on to comment on his impressions on if the comments are accurate or not, and then does contact Franken for ~~spin~~ comment.
