I take your word on Jaco....so why did Akin decide to grant him an interview? Does his campaign not know what to expect? That alone shows very poor judgement from his campaign manager(s), IMO.
The Akin campaign is very insulated and very capable of poor judgment politically. Yes, Charles Jaco is one of the worst extreme liberals in the St. Louis media and has been for years. But in this interview, all Jaco had to do was hand Akin the rope. Akin did the rest on his own.
Why The Jack*ff, err, Jaco Report? Because it’s one of the most watched local tv news shows here in Missouri. Heavy exposure to the public, simple as that.
Problem is, when Jaco gets you to say something foolish, he endlessly trumpets it all over FOX 2 News-—which has more and longer news hours than any other station in St. Louis. So, EVERYBODY eventually sees it.
I don’t think it was really that much poor judgment on the part of Akin’s campaign manager to go after a huge viewership; I think it was more Akin’s fault for being too cocky and lackadaisical about the interview.
Of course, Jaco has that soothing tone when he interviews guests, so they often don’t even realize he’s the enemy until long after they’ve left the studio and see themselves nailed to the cross on later FOX 2 News broadcasts.
Cheers
