Don’t be too hard on her. She interviewed me after the hearing and was very careful to listen closely to what I was saying. She is a gentle person and seemed genuinely grieved by what she was hearing. I was disappointed in what she wrote but I think she probably had pressures that you or I don’t necessarily know about. I think it all needs time to sink in. We’ve been hearing this stuff for a long time already, but it may all be very, very new to her.
When all is said and done, I do believe she will turn out to be one of the good guys in the media. But if so she will have to be very cautious. She seems like a lovely person and I’m hoping that when she’s had time to think it through, she’ll do what she can to support the America we love.
I’ve done so much research on the NBC issue I tend to have a very short fuse with people who should know what is going on. I admit that one line seemed out of sync with the rest of the piece. She gets a second chance.
