Kurtz: Media Should Be "Agressive And Skeptical" Toward President Obama
Earlier today, Howard Kurtz held his weekly chat where he covered such topics as Caroline Kennedy’s awkward exit from consideration for New York’s vacant Senate seat; the tone of the media in covering President Obama; and the media craze over Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich. Some excerpts:
- Rhode Island: Here’s one thing I don’t get about the Caroline Kennedy almost-appointment: presumably, she had highly-skilled, experienced, highly-paid advisers throughout this process. It appears that at no point did said adviser(s) ever walk her through a mock interview or press appearance, or prepare her for a lucid response to a predictable question (such as, “Why do you think you’re qualified to be senator?”)
I still believe that she is an intelligent, accomplished woman, but it’s a mystery to me how this rollout proved to be such a disaster, when you consider the seasoned political types she has access to.
