Does anyone else really not like this Margaret Carlson (of Bloomberg) who Keith often has on?

[marmar]

She never says anything substantive.

1. I like her.

:shrug: She's been around for a long time, that could be why.

2. She's ok. Has too much gossip-girl in her for me. But she's not the worst.

[CatWoman]

3. she's a bloody opportunist

all she did in that book was trash the Clintons - Bill in particular -- for always "clarifying" himself and offering "lenghty" explanations :eyes:

4. there wasn't a problem for me with Hilary telling the truth

Margaret thinks she went "too far." Why is being honest "too far?"
I think Keith is getting tired of Reidish Milquetoastianisms.

5. you mean THIS Margaret Carlson?

"I ALWAYS SAID YES: In a rational world, American citizens would be deeply troubled by what Carlson said to Don Imus (see THE DAILY HOWLER, 6/16/03). She appeared on his program on October 10, 2000—four weeks before Election Day. Why was the press corps pursuing trivia, and ignoring much more serious matters? And why was the corps so much tougher on Gore? Carlson didn’t mince her words. The press was pounding Gore—and giving Bush a pass—because it was “more fun” to do so, she said. “I actually happen to know people who need government, and so they would care more about…the things we kind of make fun of,” she continued. “But as sport, and as our enterprise, Gore coming up with another whopper is greatly entertaining to us.” So spoke one of America’s leading pundits, describing the values of the American press corps. And so spoke the pigtailed terror from Camp Hill, Pennsylvania—the ball-fisted battler who says she learned, because of her severely challenged brother, to fight on behalf of the weak.

On the one hand, Carlson was simply being honest about the way our modern press functions. If you want to understand that group, you should be glad that she spoke so directly. And you should also be glad for the 26-page autobiographical chapter which drives her new book, Anyone Can Grow Up. As Carlson tells her personal story, she traces a familiar narrative arc. Do you want to understand your press corps? Almost surely, many pundits have made the same choice that Carlson describes in her book."

6. I liked her whenever I saw her in the past. I disagree with her saying that Hillary

went too far when she mentioned the Bush election of 2000. It is not like people in other countries don't know these facts.

7. IIRC, she was MWO's MediaWhore of The Year for 2000 or 2001

I miss MWO.

8. Isn't she really Marcie, Peppermint Patty's best friend?

I like her. She's oddly hot. But maybe I'm just a perv.
