You’ll recall in 1974 that a CBS reporter and anchor, Roger Mudd, asked Ted Kennedy why he was running for president..........
What has happened to basic fact checking? This interview with Roger Mudd was in 1979, not 1974.
I stopped reading the article after that sentence.
Yes, that wasn’t even a presidential election year. I don’t know that it was his error or an editors typo, there are many mistakes at the online Bulletin. This article wasn’t even paragraphed as many others haven’t been.
Yep, I remember watching the interview in ‘79. The network premiere of “Jaws” was on ABC that night and I kept switching channels to watch parts of the movie during the commercials.
” A 7-year-old girl at an Obama town forum asks the candidate a question that devastates the candidate by demonstrating he doesn’t have a good grasp of why he’s running for president. Yes, Sen. Barack Obama doesn’t have a clue, as to why he is running for the highest office in the land. You’ll recall in 1974 that a CBS reporter and anchor, Roger Mudd, asked Ted Kennedy why he was running for president, and Kennedy so flubbed his answer that it is credited with killing his candidacy. If the seven-year old’s question and Obama’s answer were fully and correctly reported, it would kill his candidacy, too. But you know with the biased, dishonest, and fraudulent mainstream media that’s not going to happen. If John McCain had flubbed a simple question like that coming from a seven-year old it would be on more front pages than you could count.”
Hope Johnny Mac has this tape in his safe-deposit box. Its his key in the general this fall.
