Nikki Finke needs to grow up. She sounds like a little grade-school girl complaining to her teacher in the interview with Jay Leno [Deadline Hollywood, “Does Mr. Middle-of-the-Road Lean Left?,” September 17–23].
I watch Leno and Letterman. Jay’s monologues criticize both parties. He makes fun of whatever is funny. If Finke wants serious politics, she shouldn’t watch an entertainment show; she should watch Bill Maher. He will give her Bush-bashing until her heart’s content.

My hat is off to both Nikki Finke and Jay Leno. Their questions and answers were well-stated. I concur with most of Mr. Leno’s statements. It’s too bad this kind of dialogue isn’t more prevalent in today’s broad-based media.
Now I wish Finke would interview Matt Lauer, considering the debacle of his interview with Kitty Kelley. Her journalistic abilities far exceed his. Finally the fourth estate is represented in a way that has recently been ignored.
