RE: Hannity is a Cobra spy

Comment comment by Liz_Miracle on 25 May 2005

I agree with Brandon on this one. Whether or not a news anchor uses tact or not is up to him (depending on how much he likes his job or jail for that matter). However, news is supposed to be just that. Give us an event, and present who, what, why, where, and how. I don't care if the interviewer agrees with who he's interviewing or not, his job is to tell me the facts, get answers and allow me to make a decision. I think had Crook been allowed to continue with his own thought process it would have inevitably failed. Hannity tried to prove this, but did a rather inefficient job. I too am angered by what Crook wrote, but I find that all the more reason to allow him to use his own words to make him look like an idiot with failed logic.

I'd agree with you if it were done in a news report, but Hannity and Colmes is an opinionated program that digests the news and doesn't necessarily report it. It's not the traditional news report and therefore can stray from the 5WH rule. (Yes, I just made that name up.)

That aside, I really wish they would have let this guy get a full sentence out. They seemed so focused on ensuring that they tell me that he's a moron, that I never got to really see it for myself. (Though it was plainly obvious.)
