The mainstream media still believes itself to be fair and balanced. This morning, Good Morning America maintained its high standards in a tough, grilling interview of Hillary Clinton. From Jeff Poor of the Business and Media Institute.
It’s this type of hard-hitting questioning that can send people out to the polls and vote their conscience - but only if they’re a judge at a first-grade ballet recital.
As a part of its Super Tuesday coverage, the February 5 “Good Morning America” featured an interview with liberal presidential hopeful Sen. Hillary Clinton (D-NY). Clinton addressed several easy questions with comments about health care or threats of a “recession.” So, what pressing matter did ‘GMA’ anchor Robin Roberts ask Clinton to finish up her interview?
“And a final question - [I] want to take you down memory lane for just a moment,” Roberts said. “A picture of you, 7 years old, you’re in a tutu, no less, quite a pose you’re striking right here. What is it about that little girl that led you to this moment today?”
That’s right - the American people need the image, circa 1954, of Hillary Rodham Clinton in a tutu before they line up to go vote.
With Roberts’s softball questions throughout the interview, Clinton was able to stick with her standard statements about the need for mandatory universal health care and browbeating gloom into the economy.
