Contrary to CBS's Steve Kroft, CNN's foreign affairs reporters actually
asked the tough questions of outgoing Secretary of State Hillary
Clinton in their Tuesday interview on The Situation Room.
While Kroft spun his foreign policy questions into softballs for Clinton and Obama on Sunday's 60 Minutes,
CNN's Jill Dougherty confronted Clinton on Egypt and Libya. She started
off asking if the Egyptian state would survive amidst bloody unrest,
and then zeroed in on Libya:
On Monday’s edition of “Martin Bashir,”
MSNBC ran footage of the testimony of Neil Heslin, the father of a
Sandy Hook victim, in which it appears he is heckled by gun rights
activists. MSNBC’s accompanying graphics box read “Mocked and Loaded.
Sandy Hook Victim’s Father Heckled by Gun Rights Advocates.” In reality,
Heslin was not heckled. He posed a challenge to the audience, and the
audience responded. The MSNBC version deliberately cut out Heslin’s challenge to make it appear as though he was interrupted by heckling gun advocates.
"This is not how a legitimate, professional news organization
operates," NewsBusters publisher and Media Research Center founder Brent
Bozell complained in a statement released today. "MSNBC’s relentless
anti-gun advocacy is bad enough, but this is downright dishonest. Time
and time again NBC News has demonstrated why the American people can’t
trust a single thing they say."
