8. Here is my letter to GMA
I am writing regarding the piece aired on GMA today on Social Security "reform". I found the piece to be extremely biased to the point that I must truly question whether someone on the GMA staff is being paid to push SS "reform" as Armstrong Williams was paid to promote No Child Left Behind.

You used figures provided by the Cato Institute to "prove" that a couple would be better off with privatization of SS. Your report failed to mention the extreme political bias of the Cato Institute, the conflicting numbers produced by other less partisan experts, as well as an analysis of just how the $2 TRILLION shortfall that privatization would create would be funded.

I found it ironic that immediately prior to the piece on SS, you covered the CBS memo scandal, and then immediately went on to report a story of your own using unsubstantiated and biased data.
