Geez, if the two best reporters the Times have are sniping at each other, it doesn't bode well at all. The air must be very thick in that newsroom. I take back what I said about Kurtz. I hadn't seen his CNN show for awhile, but I watched it yesterday. I think he needs to drop it. The first segment was about the "Jayson Blair" scandal. Isn't it time we quit calling it that? No mention at all that the scandal is about a lot more than just one wayward reporter. Then he talked about the poll taken that said 66% of Democrat voters couldn't identify a single Democrat candidate. The operative question was, "is the media not giving them enough coverage?" Didn't even raise the possibility that nobody cares to hear what they have to say. Bob Schieffer was the guest for the whole show. Kurtz' fawning over him was unseemly, to say the least. In the final segment he talked about how Hollywood-made TV shows and movies of a political nature don't reflect reality. (Gee whiz, really?) Then he went on to explain how important these shows are and that they really should do a better job in how they present things. These shows are important? C'mon Howie, get a grip...
