MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow called out CNN for airing the Tea Party response to the State of the Union address by Michele Bachman last night:
“A national news network decided that they would give Michele Bachmann a job that her own party never did.”
Maddow asked Fmr. RNC Communications Dir. Doug Heye: “Isn’t it a little bit weird though to have two responses run on a national news network as if they were equivalent?”
This segment sent new CNN hire Piers Morgan to the Twittersphere to pronounce his disapproval:
Ms Maddow doesn’t think it’s ‘news’ when 2 different factions of Rep Party make post-SOTU speeches? http://huff.to/igZu91 #SERIOUSLY?
Sorry, but just nonsense for @maddow to say @cnn shouldn’t have run Tea Party speech. Rep split is proper news, may decide next election.
Final point re @maddow fury over CNN airing Tea Party speech – just weird hearing her speak like a @foxnews anchor #triangulator
