“The newsies don’t want to delve too much into ‘hard’ news, into real issues, into depth coverage. They want minutia and mind-mush.”
I saw Meredith’s “interview” with Hillary this morning. She asked Hillary a couple of tough questions. As usual Hillary did not even come close to providing an answer to any (not one) of the questions. What a terrible job by Meredith. (No, I’m not surprised.)
It isn't the content of the response that is important; it is the seriousness of the question asked.
I saw the interview as well but was left with a different impression. As you pointed out, Meredith did a couple of tough questions, she did her job. Hillary danced all around them until the segment ran out of time.
When the camera went to Meredith's face, her expression was priceless as if saying "I can't believe what you just said, you lying sack of sh*t" but instead, she transitioned to her co-hosts in Miami and this is where she slipped it in to Hillary. If you pay attention to her face and speech pattern as she says something to the effect 'and now to Miami Beach'. Her face had a frozen smile on it and she pronounced Beach very slowly to sound like Beeech.
I laughed out loud and applauded Meredith for very slyly calling Hillary a B*tch on national TV>
