The Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz on MSNBC’s Morning Joe doing what he does; talking about the O.J. coverage so far:
“This is the classic example of the media not being able to walk and chew gum at the same time. Yesterday morning, Bush comes out to the podium with his nominee for Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, who nobody knows anything about, retired Federal judge, and about 12 seconds after they’re done, it’s O.J., O.J., O.J. So, it does seem that there’s a little bit of a lack of balance. Again, a lot of public interest in this story, a lot of ratings in this story. But Attorney General, Hillary health care plan, Iraq, I haven’t seen mentioned in about two days. They shouldn’t get completely and totally blown off the radar screen while we all marinate ourselves in the juice.”
