In case you missed Glenn Greenwald’s review of the FOX News anchor’s interview with President Bush:
Chris Wallace interviewed George Bush today on Fox News and, after asking Bush about his views on waterboarding, this was the “question” which Wallace - sitting next to Bush in front of a cozy fireplace (after a borderline-romantic stroll with him down a picturesque, snow-covered Camp David trail) - asked of him:
WALLACE: I want to follow up on that. Whether it is interrogation of terror prisoners or the intercepting of surveillance among al Qaeda members, are you ever puzzled by all of the concern in this country about protecting of rights of people who want to kill us?
Wallace’s obsequious framing was too brazenly propagandistic even for Bush to accept:
BUSH: That is an interesting way to put it. I wouldn’t necessarily define some of the critics of my policy that way. I would say that they want to be very careful that we don’t overstep our bounds from protecting the civil liberties of Americans.
If the subject of a political interview finds the questions from the “journalist” too favorably slanted to embrace (basically: “I think you’re being unfairly harsh to my political opponents” ), isn’t that a fairly compelling sign that there is something profoundly corrupt with the journalist?
haha…good job…snarky yet subtle
maybe for chris wallace’s next interview he should go hunting with cheney?
Come on, now. You pieces of liberal crap really do get disgusting. After all the tongue-hanging-out interviews that Katy Couty has done with little Billy Klinton and the fawning that CNN does over the Hill-witch, you are down on Chris Wallace? You people make me sick. It’s telling that you don’t make yourselves sick with your blatant duplicity.
