Julia Reed served up "anti-Democrat rhetoric" on Chris Matthews Show

[deutsey]

Julia Reed bashed NO Mayor Nagin and the Democratic gov of Louisiana today in an interview with Rachel Maddow.

According to Media Matters:

All four panelists on the June 12 edition of the syndicated Chris Matthews Show -- Time magazine senior writer and columnist Joe Klein, conservative commentator Andrew Sullivan, NBC News chief foreign affairs correspondent Andrea Mitchell, and Vogue magazine senior writer Julia Reed -- offered up copious anti-Democrat smears and repeated unfounded claims critical of Democrats. The panelists offered no comparable criticism of Republicans.

1. It's too bad Rachael ended the week with her

She did so well the whole week.

#1 The producers shouldn't have had her on
#2 Rachael was WAY too easy on her

[AspenRose]

2. This was the idiot on Rachel's show today

blaming the mayor for the chaos in NOLA....Randi replayed a portion of the interview on her show and apologized....

3. Yes, that's the context for my post. Sorry I didn't elaborate.

4. She was a problem w/ Rachel,

Rachel should have spoken up, she said she felt bad because the woman just came out of "it". I love Rachel, but this was a mistake, Rhandi is eating her for breakfast.

5. The way Rachel handled her I assumed it was a friend of hers

was not listening to what she said- because Rachel did not sound like she was dealing with an opposing view.

6. why are they interviewing the writer from Vogue?

I wonder what Marie Claire, Allure and Glamor have to say


sheesh!!!

9. Apparenlty, Reed is from Mississippi and was affected by Katrina

from what I can gather.

7. Reed has also described herself as an "acquaintance" of the Bush Family

From the Media Matters link I provided:

In the course of criticizing Dean, Reed referred to Republicans as "our side." Reed has written a profile of President Bush's daughters for the August 2004 issue of Vogue and has described herself as an "acquaintance of the family"

8. Does anyone know why this woman was even on the show

I wasn't really paying attention until she started bad mouthing Nagan and then my head was about to pop off. I really like Rachel but she so blew this - and I'm glad that Randi beat the snot out of this Julia woman and I hope Rachel isn't in too much trouble over it. This freak woman should not have been on Air America

[Prodemsouth]

10. Sorry but I would like to find out if Rachel has a connection to her

in some way. If she was soft on her because she is also gay- that will not fly with me. Randi just finished saying she knew what she was doing- I guess she was talking about Rachel.
