Dallas, the weather was so stark and gray and somber. it really was one of those sort of the heavens wept moment. and the way to cover that in the u.s. naval academy glee club, the way to cover it was to back up. let the pictures, let the sounds speak for themselves. almost no one did that. people had to talk. producers had to throw montages of images up there on the screen. fox really did the best when they backed off and let it breathe. they really did a nice job with that. cnn, second best. the worst, again, msnbc was the worst. abc was chatty time, too. i really it s so simple, howie, to do that on a big ev t event. especially was as huge and existential as this was on friday. self-restraint can be difficult on television. joe concho, what do you think of the fact, particularly the people involved in these productions weren t alive in ....
I would rip anybody who made these kind of despicable comments about anybody regardless of political coloration. you have to say there hasn t exactly been a huge uproar in the mainstream media about this. other than perhaps on fox. as opposed to, let s say, somebody said that about, i don t know, hillary clinton. exactly. let s go to the can you imagine segment part of this particular talking point. if rush limbaugh said this about sarah palin it shailin sorry. hillary clinton. what would we be talking about? or sarah silverman. we haven t heard a peep from any of the women on that america or management on that network. that speaks volumes. that s part of the larger problem here. that the mainstream media isn t more upset about this. you know, i ve been complaining about the the way our civic and political conversation on cable tv is debased. and msnbc has led that drive in a calculated way. ....
Because they have no journalistic function. they have no rep pratorial infrastructure anymore for business reasons. once you go down the road they have gone down of nothing but hosts sitting in front of a camera doing opinions, you have to keep turning it up and turning it up and turning it up and be more and more extreme. this is what we got. and no one cares. that s what s outrageous. whatever you care about, whatever you feel about sarah palin doesn t matter. the don vconversation of democr you can t have this going on. let me briefly say she likened the national debt to slavery. a lot of people found that comparison offensive. fair game to criticize her. she addressed this this morning on fox news sunday. there s an implicit contrast here with msnbc s handling of alex baldwin. insiders tell me he may never come back to that network. let s take a listen to the former governor on fox news ....
Working, all that, he had a bunch of pundits over for one of those off the record briefings this week. they included about half the staff of msnbc. al sharpton. lawrence o donnell. howard fineman. ed schultz. fox s juan williams was included in that liberal gang. what s the point of pundits going when they can t report on what the president actually says because it s off the record? it doesn t matter they can t report on that specific instance. what it does is try to shore up the base and say, hey, you re not really reporting good white house stories here. you re kind of reporting some things that are negative. so here are all the positive things that the white house is doing. and maybe you could report on those. this is clearly just about getting to know the reporters and the reporters, of course, they re going to want to go. i ve done this thing as a spokesman where you invite them in and try to get to know the reporters. you try to juice them up a little bit so you get better co ....
