'The Situation Room' Every Three Minutes
In her review of CNN’s new “The Situation Room,” Slate’s television critic, Dana Stevens, sums up the show as such: “In a landscape of nearly indistinguishable cable yammerfests, The Situation Room’s main claim to innovation is twofold: It’s live, and it’s three hours long. This unusual combination means that the show manages to be at once an impressive technical achievement and a colossal bore.”
She closes her review with Wolf Blitzer interviewing former President Bill Clinton and what was surely the oddest moment of yesterday’s Sit Room:
It was a standard puff-piece interview, somewhere between public-service announcement and campaign stop, which made it all the odder that Blitzer chose to end the encounter by flashing up an old picture of Clinton White House situation room.
