This is an Interview???
Check out this "interview" on MSNBC by acting host and Democratic operative Lawrence O'Donnell of Peter Schiff, an economist who is challenging Chris Dodd for the Senate, and who opposes the government health care plan. As you watch and listen to O'Donnell pummeling Mr Schiff, check out the background messages on the screen.
"Fear Factor 2010"-showing a hulking elephant with big tusks looming over a small donkey.
What do they call that-subliminal messaging?
Mr O'Donnell must be a proud graduate of the Roland Freisler School of Interviewing.
Who was Roland Freisler, you ask? He was the infamous Nazi judge who conducted the "trials" of those accused of trying to assassinate the Fuehrer in 1944. Check out his questioning techniques:
Oh, I'm sorry!! I didn't realize I was using Nazi analogies, which according to folks like Nancy Pelosi and Frank Schaeffer, is a bad thing-unless their friends at SEIU are acting like Brownshirts/Purpleshirts. A little overblown? Perhaps, but you get the idea.
I hate interviews like that, no matter whose side I am on.
ReplyDeleteIngrid,
ReplyDeleteThat's what happens when you take a political operative, which O'Donnell is, and let him be moderator on a "news" program.
And people talk about how biased Fox News is!
