The Mote and the Beam

Slate: Scott Walker’s First Big Chance "Scott Walker is taking a stand against campaign gotcha questions. All praise to him! It’s a noble goal, and a posture that’s very hard to sustain.

When two Washington Post reporters asked the Wisconsin governor if he thought President Obama was a Christian, he refused to answer on account of it not having anything to do with anything. “To me, this is a classic example of why people hate Washington and, increasingly, they dislike the press,” he replied. (Nice of him to say “increasingly … dislike the press,” as if that condition were still in transition as opposed to frozen in amber). “The things they care about don’t even remotely come close to what you’re asking about.....”

Earlier in his show yesterday, Rush mentioned this debate [linked below] between WI Gov. Scott Walker and the Mayor of Milwaukee, WI [who was challenging Walker in a recall election after he "broke" union hold on the state].

It's an hour but by watching it ALL you will have a good idea how Walker is going to campaign and interact with the media and critics.

Wisconsin Gubernatorial Final Recall Debate - 5/31/2012

The results Map:

Wisconsin governor recall election — Scott Walker vs. Tom Barrett"

As I told Freeper who sent me a comment last night that she'd watched this debate too:

"Glad you watched the debate - it WAS interesting.

I’d start levitating at the “toad Barret [her apt discriptor],” but Walker would sit calmly and then very unemotionally run Barret through. Over and over and over again. I finally relaxed and enjoyed the show."

As opposed to the overt racism blacks express all over this country’s whites and other non-blacks?

Evidently, Balz and Costa did not ask in good faith. Rather, they wanted a specific response, and they were determined to crucify their man if he didn’t give it to them. That, I’m afraid, is not journalism; it’s entertainment.

The main stream media is to journalism what islam is to religion.

The media ain't journalism and islam ain't religion.
