Clinton on TV
Questions like these from Larry King on CNN:
Now, the purpose of your initiative overall is to make the world a better place, right? . . . And the four things it covers is to make the world a better place. . . . Is it a better place? . . . How's your health? . . . The greatest thing you almost did was peace in the Middle East. . . . or Question from Chris Wallace on FOX: "Why didn't you do more to put [Osama] bin Laden and Al Qaeda out of business when you were president?" So much for the Clinton legacy building - only on CNN in the future. And it's guaranteed the his wife will never submit to any questions by any Fox person. |

And what amount has he raised in the first two years of his initative? Two seperate programs, two seperate issuse. And I was watching FOX New this aftrernoon, and several panal members defended President Clinton..... |
by two seperate issues, you must mean A) the issue on Fox, meaning Clinton's inept policy in deterring terrorism and B) the issue on CNN, which tries to bolster his image in order to aid his candidate wife and tarnish the current administration...
|
I think it's pretty funny to see somebody take off on one of the Wallace boys.

Anyway, I hope no one would confuse Larry King with news. His questions are always softballs; that's not a CNN thing, that's a Larry King thing. |

Oh yeah, there are more terrorists now than before 11 Sept. Clinton was so inept! His response to the 1995 OKC bombing was swifter and more logical than Bush's response to 11 Sept. I guess if Clinton was inept, Bush is incompetent. |
Did you seriously just compare the Oklahoma City bombing to 9/11...There sure are a lot of caves in this country to hide in.

Last time I checked, Timothy McVey was not part of a huge kamikaze Terrorist group, with resources, leaders, and members all over the world. He was one single psycho (even if he was working for a "cause").

Also, Terry Nichols? and the white supremecist militia movement? Did you even pay attention in 1995? |
Keith Olbermann on "a textbook definition of cowardice" and the right-wing brouhaha over Clinton's Fox News appearance:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15004160/ Don't just read the transcript - watch the video. |
Quote:
I was just a teenager when that happened--but damn, I remember hearing about Terry Nichols, and there was at least one other person who spent some time in jail for not being exactly forthright with the information that he had. |
The fact is, attempting to compare capturing 2 guys to overtaking a worldwide terrorist network is simply and utterly stupid. Speaking of Clinton's response, how'd he do on USS Cole? Oh nothing? Oh ok.
As for Keith Olbermann, he's an unabashed liberal, not at all a legitimate journalist. Hell, ESPN wouldn't even take him. |
Quote:
In many cases, we aren't talking about journalists anymore, but rather personalities. On both sides of the video aisle. |
You'll get no debate from me that Fox is conservative. However, I think they're more inline with the everyday personalities on CNN or MSNBC, while Olbermann is FAR LEFT. At least Bill O concedes ground from time to time and criticizes his own party...
|
Here's a quote I find curious from a "journalistic" standpoint from a story on the Fox News webpage in a story on Senator Clinton defending her husband:
"In the interview on "FOX News Sunday," which got its best ratings in nearly three years, Clinton accused Wallace of a "conservative hit job..." Are any of the cable "News" networks really "journalistic?" |
Quote:
|
Yes, I thank God all the time that we have radical liberals posing as unbiased journalists...I guess its only a bad thing if you prefer for the media to report the news, rather than persuade the general public.

Of course they are. I'd actually be ok with Keith if they'd just make it out that his show is a liberal one. Nobody debates that Tucker or Oreilly are unbiased.

[QUOTE=shinerbock;1328707Nobody debates that Tucker or Oreilly are unbiased.[/QUOTE]
Except for O'Reilly. He thinks he's unbiased. |
Well I'm no fan of him, but he really isn't straight party line really, neither is Tucker. They both criticize the GOP, but they are obviously conservative.
My comparisons, not on anything but political ideology On Right....On Left Tucker=Anderson Cooper Oreilly=Chris Matthews Limbaugh=Olbermann/Maher |

Have a bonus question for you: Which well known talker is not what they make themselves out to be? The media business, for many reasons, is a very tight business for talkers, DJ's et al. So they do not market themselfs as what they are but for the need of the postition. And no, the answer will not get posted here, but it is something to think about. |
I'm not sure what you're getting at, but you may be speaking of Dr. Laura Schlessinger

Just as the market place for actors has gotten tighter due to non-scripted shows, the same with "personalities". With canned show, less local shows, less live shows et al, there are more "personalities" than shows. So rather than saying they are rock DJ's , they mold themselves to be fans of Opra or country/western if there is a job opening some place. Same with politics and POV. |
You're absolutely right about that. Its almost as if journalism and sports and entertainment has all merged, people move back and forth, while viewers presume that person to have extensive qualifications in whichever area they are currently working.

Because it would be faaaaaaaaaaaabulous to have an openly gay news "personality" (notice I didn't say journalist) on television -- plus, he's a GOPer to boot. There's something there for everyone to love! </sarcasm> |
