Tonight i watched Bashir try to rip Suskind apart for his book which detailed all the failures of Obamas economic team. Martin Bashir is supposed to be one of MSNBC's "credible" journalists. Watch the similarity between the 2 interviews as it is comical. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/63TMawHivXQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Wow the site i was going to link to which had Bashir interviewing Suskind seems to be taken down. Maybe it was just because they havent went through their second play through of MSLSD's night time programming, either that or they are embarassed by this shoddy attempt at journalism. I will give a hero cookie to the first person who posts the Suskind/Bashir interview that happened tonight on Lawrence O'Donnell's show, it is quite comical, otherwise i will just post it tomorrow.
Here is the "unbiased" interview from Bashir with Ron Suskind. I couldnt find a version which only had the interview, so you have to go to the 3:30 mark of this video in order to find the beginning of the interview where Bashir is being an obvious tool for the left. This is such atrocious journalism it isnt even funny. Bashir is a complete tool, and he doesnt give a shit about real journalism. <object width="420" height="245" id="msnbcbcd75" classid="clsid27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=10,0,0,0"><param name="movie" value="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" /><param name="FlashVars" value="launch=44618986&width=420&height=245" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><embed name="msnbcbcd75" src="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32545640" width="420" height="245" FlashVars="launch=44618986&width=420&height=245" allowscriptaccess="always" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash"></embed></object><p style="font-size:11px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; color: #999; margin-top: 5px; background: transparent; text-align: center; width: 420px;">Visit msnbc.com for <a style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;" href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com">breaking news</a>, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032507" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">world news</a>, and <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3032072" style="text-decoration:none !important; border-bottom: 1px dotted #999 !important; font-weight:normal !important; height: 13px; color:#5799DB !important;">news about the economy</a></p> http://thelastword.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/09/21/7888389-suskind-defends-white-house-book
BTW, no one on the left objected to Suskind when he wrote a book bad mouthing the Bush administration. They loved Suskind then. My how times have changed.
Damn you!!! I was waiting to use that bullet when someone from the left first came out opposing suskind.... Now the last bullet I have left is questioning Bashir's sexuality.....
