I don’t know that Rita Cosby was a “vaunted journalist.”
I distinctly remember her and another dim bulb, Paula Zahn, both announcing that Gore had won the Supreme Court decision in the Florida recount case. This was while they were still on Fox. They were both breathless and giddy that Gore had won.
Turned out they were reading the dissent instead of the decision. Brit Hume had to send Steve Centanni down to their location to explain it to them.
Rita and Paula darn near caused me to have a heart attack. My only joy was seeing Rita and Paula’s grins turn into sad, frowny faces. HA!
Rita is brainwashed, but it happened a long, long time ago.
You busted me,vaunted she was not. I will write it on the blackboard 100 times and never do it again.
