I am a regular CNN viewer. The fascist salute is reprehensible and Lord acted rashly.  Having heard his commentaries many times, I believe he was being genuine in saying the gesture, however disgusting, was intended as a rebuke, not an endorsement of fascism.  No doubt CNN is liberal media, but I hope it continues to provide a venue for some  conservative commentary, in the interest of balance.  A civil society is not well served when information presented is either fake or one-sided.
