Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)– On their July 14 evening news broadcasts, both ABC’s World News and NBC’s Nightly News reported Sen. Lindsey Graham’s citation of anonymous criticism of Judge Sonia Sotomayor published in theAlmanac of the Federal Judiciary without noting that Sotomayor’s colleague on the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals, Judge Guido Calabresi, has reportedly said of criticism of Sotomayor’s temperament on the bench, "It was sexist, plain and simple." Additionally, neither ABC nor NBC noted that, in the words of CNN senior legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin, "[I]f you look at the full entry in this lawyers’ guide, Senator Graham did pick out the most negative comments, and there were a lot of positive comments in there, as well," or that the American Bar Association rated Sotomayor its highest possible rating, "well qualified."
