I know, I know: most of you have seen this. But it’s Susan Roesgen all over again: “Rather than covering the phenomenon, I’m going to argue with the participants.” Yeah, baby: that’s news done right.
Jackie Seal’s account is here.
Ed Morrissey’s account is here.
Stacy McCain’s account is here.
Rush Limbaugh’s account is here.
UPDATE: Verum Serum weighs in:
Actually, this is much worse than Susan Roesgen. Susan Roesgen, biased as she was, was at least speaking off-the-cuff. Norah O’Donnell actually set up this little gotcha moment as if she were Michael Moore. She didn’t know the facts (or wasn’t sure of them), so she had to check them on her blackberry, but then she made it look as if it were all spur of the moment.
Of course Norah O’Donnell knows that a VP never disagrees with the head of the ticket and McCain supported the TARP bailout. But, hey, it’s all in a day’s work at MSNBC. If you can embarrass a 17 year-old on camera at a Sarah Palin event, you go for it.
Susan Roesgen deserved to lose her job. CNN chose not to let blatant on-air bias define them. What Norah O’Donnell did is worse. MSNBC should fire Norah O’Donnell. Until that happens (I won’t hold my breath) some enterprising reporter should ask Robert Gibbs if this is why MSNBC is the White House’s favorite network.
