An Example of Our Press’s Failure and Democratic Incompetence
I watched Andrea Mitchell interview the Republican Party Chairman in Wisconsin and she allowed him to go on and on with Republican talking points and gross distortions of what has happened there without challenging him once, just moving on to her next question. So much for acompetent interview. Then she had the DNC Chairwoman on (Debbie Wasserman-Schultz) and she immediately challenged her and put her on the defensive on why the Democrats have not been more supportive there.
It is like Democrats know nothing about language and framing. First Ms wasserman-Shultz should have said, “Let me correct the record on those earlier statements made by the Republican Chairman which you failed to challenge, Andrea.” Get aggressive here girl or you are already lost as you back peddle. Then get to the question which you had to equivocated about and just admit the Democratic Party was late late to the party. Instead you came off as an excuse making Democrat, unable to fight back. The way that was handled, you looked like road kill. With a party like this, it is a wonder we win anything. The only thing that might save us is the collapse of the nation if the Republicans get their way in November.
So much for a competent press or an aggressive rebuttal fron the Demos.
