NBC’s Maria Shriver Offers Fawning Profile of “Overnight Sensation” Wendy Davis
Life News ^ | 1-16-14 | Kyle Drennan

Posted on 01/18/2014 1:10:05 PM PST by smokingfrog

In a glowing profile of Texas state senator and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Wendy Davis that amounted to a campaign commercial on Wednesday’s NBC Today, correspondent Maria Shriver proclaimed:

“Wendy Davis became a familiar name last year when she stood in her pink tennis shoes for eleven hours to defeat a Texas abortion bill. Even though the bill eventually passed, Davis became a star. And her story, her personal story, resonated across this country.” [Listen to the audio or watch the video after the jump]

Following footage of cheering Davis supports, Shriver lobbed this ridiculous softball to the Texas abortion heroine: “Everybody says Wendy Davis is an overnight sensation. Does it irritate you that people call you an overnight sensation?” Davis replied: “I’m not an overnight sensation. I’m a Texan. And I’m a Texas success story. I am the epitome of hard work and optimism.”

While teasing Shriver’s upcoming interview with Davis as part of Today’s series on women “doing it all,” co-host Savannah Guthrie described Davis as “a mom who rose from nothing to become a rising political star. ”

Beyond vaguely describing how Davis tried to “defeat a Texas abortion bill,” Shriver failed to ask a single question about the would-be governor’s staunch support for abortion in such a pro-life state.

She is older than Governor Palin, she was a nobody a year ago, and her claim to fame is a publicity stunt for abortion, and the national media is fawning over her and trying to make her a national political power.

Is an “overnight sensation” anything like a “one night stand”?
