There are times when I think I'm too hard on the press. But then I read something like this: Peter Jennings' interview of Karl Rove, and then I wonder if I'm not hard enough. This interview clarifies a few thing - while Peter is a very pleasant guy -- easy to look at, nice sounding voice (hey, these are all the things I lack!), he's not too bright and clearly looking not to inform the audience, which I think is what his job is, but looking to trap Rove and make him and the President look bad. Not surprisingly, Rove is ahead of him and rather easily avoids Jennings' snares. What a waste of TV time. No wonder more people were watching Fox News than any of the networks: Brokaw is an American version of Jennings, and Rather isn't even pleasant.
Via Frater Libertas, who also has good commentary (natch!) on the interview.
