Now here's an idea. From Reed Hundt. ----------- ABC: All Bad for Citizens By Reed Hundt - April 17, 2008, 9:30AM Whew! What a miserable night for Citizen Charles and Citizen George. These are not dumb fellows, and they didn't fail to prepare for the debate. Obviously, they worked hard to develop such intensively emotional, biased, hostile questions, and they were very focussed on avoiding the important issues that will shape the future of the republic for the next generation. So what gives? What were their motives? What did their bosses give them for a purpose? This is the central question for the mainstream media: why do good people provide such bad journalism from the perspective of the ideal electoral system? Is it really true that ABC got and held a bigger audience by adopting such a crazy perspective on the debate? Is it really true that Gibson and George S have improved their personal brands by doing the Fox dance? Is it really true that Democratic candidates have to tolerate this sort of contumacious questioning? Why not just part company with ABC and empanel a group of thoughtful bloggers like Josh Marshall, Duncan Black (who lives in Philly!), and any number of others; plop HC and BO in front of them; turn on the cameras and liveblogvideo the whole thing? tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com
