I saw the same report and lost ALOT of respect for Brit. He was so condescending that the snark was palpably dripping from his lips.
I do not respect anyone in major media, not since Cronkite betrayed his country and caused N. Vietnam to not surrender. They are all liars and facilitators pushing an agenda.
He did the same thing to Sarah, and I shut him out after that.
Brit is like the establishment repubs. He wants to cash in on all the goodies with no work involved. His heart does not look like it is in his job anymore. He looks totally burned out.
We should remind ourselves that most of the media conservatives that we trust for news and analysis (excepting perhaps Mark Levin and Rush) are elitists first and conservatives second (or not really conservative). When the peons demand to be heard, elitists unite and ideology be damned.
Brit is the epitome of this dynamic. His impulses are conservative, but at his core, Brit is a card carrying elitist. Any movement toward government by the people provokes an elitist backlash from Brit and his ilk.
