...We on the right notice such things as high level Clinton advisors (Stephanopolous) anchoring the ABC news. How about the proposal that Karl Rove do the same at CBS? Naturally the former is business as usual for Glenn, while the latter would produce apoplexy. -- shooter242
I rather doubt he would see them differently for the reasons
that your implying. But, there are very good reasons to see
them differently, nonetheless.
These 2 men are not comparable political actors. Rove was a highly
successful, highly feared Republican operative/hatchet man
for years before he joined the Bush administration. Stephanopoulos
was..... a very young man with exceptionally good hair for years
before he joined the Clinton administration. They have very
different histories. If Stephanopoulos has a record of leaving
shattered careers in his wake... this is the first I've heard of
it.
I'd be damned surprised if Glenn were real hot on the presence of either of these spinmeisters in high or influential positions in our national newsmedia -- but complaints against Rove can be made on sound grounds that don't hold for Stephanopoulos.
Having said that.... when has Glenn said much about either of these strange fruits of modern American politics?
