Walter Is Already Spinning
July 19th, 2009
As if on cue, an excellent example of what right-wing “news” is today:
Of course, Coulter and Beck being in the same room is, by the laws of physics, bound to result in the kind of exchange you see above. Add Limbaugh and the television would melt. (Note: when Glenn Beck thinks you’re spinning out of control, that’s saying something.)
Even for commentary, this is sickening. Cronkite went to Vietnam, studied the situation, and gave a grave and thoughtful commentary on the war. Today we get people who–in all seriousness–are candidates for institutionalization, spouting this vomit.
This is a national “news” network, and what they believe deserves a daily, hour-long platform before millions of people.
The state of journalism today.
