MSNBC's Shuster just made a bad mistake

[BeyondGeography]

Saying Obama overreacted to something that wasn't even in print, that it was just online.

The Novak column appeared in print in Saturday's NY Post.

Sloppy.

[robbedvoter]

1. But NY Post is not really print, it's fish wrap

[rocktivity]

2. Why isn't he overreacting to such flagrantly poor journalism?

:evilgrin:
rocknation

[durrrty libby]

3. Yeah right..skew Shuster. Obama is the one who over-reacted

Between the blind item and the clip of Obama yelling at the old

lady in Iowa, this is not a good way for him to start the week

[BeyondGeography]

4. Novak was just on Fox saying that the Clinton campaign is lying

Not a great way for your girl to start the week either.

[leftynyc]

5. Being called a liar by Novak is

going to hurt Clinton? Which democratic primary voters are going to listen to him? You Obama fans are getting desperate.

[BeyondGeography]

7. It'll hurt about as much as raising your voice in response to some one who thinks

giving undocumented workers drivers licenses is an endorsement of al Qaeda.

[leftynyc]

25. I have no idea what you're talking about (n/t)

[durrrty libby]

9. Novak AND Fox. Wow ...Now there is a credible team

:rofl:

[BeyondGeography]

10. Yah...about as credible as Wolfson and Penn

:rofl:

and, for the record, he said your girl's campaign was shopping the "we have scandalous info" slime to undecided high-ranking Democrats.

Naughty, naughty.

[Jim Sagle]

11. Novak ain't nuthin' but shit and neither is anyone who pretends to believe him.

[BeyondGeography]

12. Wow

I just got insulted by Jim Sagle and his hairdo avatar.

How shall I carry on?

[Jim Sagle]

18. You effectively insulted yourself by gving Novak any credence.

[Didereaux]

15. FLASH! Novak calls Novak a LIAR! lol

[Justyce]

6. Do you happen to have a link to the clip or article

on the yelling episode? Not having much luck finding anything.

[durrrty libby]

8. They showed it twice on Morning Joe. I'm sure it will get more play

They tend to show things over and over all day

[Clintonista2]

13. Obama yelled at an old lady?

I haven't heard about that one, what happened?

[durrrty libby]

14. He was answering questions in Iowa and a granny type asked

him about keeping us safe or some generic question. Obama

was loud and obnoxious to her. Shuster called him "shrill" lol

They have showed the clip several times on MSNBC. I'm sure if you

are able to tune in any hour of the day, it will be repeated

[Cameron27]

17. I haven't seen it yet,

but I'll keep watching to see if it lives up to Schuster's description.

[Clintonista2]

19. Here, wyldwolf found the clip:

[durrrty libby]

21. Good ol wyld. He's good. I tried and got nowhere

MSNBC had a much better clip, but at least you know what Shuster was talking about

[Cameron27]

22. Yeah, he was loud, but he wasn't screaming.

I don't think Schuster had the right take on it.

[LandOLincoln]

20. I saw it--or a little bit of it, anyway. Didn't strike me as anything

extraordinary. Looked to me like he was having to raise his voice because he didn't have a microphone and the person he was responding to was some distance away. But I only looked up in time to see the last few seconds of the clip.

Probably just another media-hyped (non)controversy, like much of the crap that passes for political discussion on this once halfway decent board. :crazy:

[yellowcanine]

23. I agree. People who think that is "yelling" have never had to make themselves heard

in a big room with a lousy sound system and lousy acoustics.

[durrrty libby]

26. He had a microphone . No need to yell

[yellowcanine]

27. And he wasn't yelling.

[durrrty libby]

28. was too

[Catherine Vincent]

16. I agree.

I don't think he was screaming. I'll give Schuster a pass since I like him. :)

[yardwork]

24. How is this suddenly Obama's fault? IGNORE NOVAK.

Every Democratic candidate needs to put Novak on permanent ignore. Let the talking heads consult their own belly buttons if they so choose.
