It's the lack of pushback, stupid [View all]

Hey MSNBC and CNN: go ahead and interview cheato. But ask him REAL questions. He definitely is newsworthy, but only if there is pushback. Otherwise, it's a campaign rally, and you are normalizing him.

There is no public official, let alone ex-President, with his history of lying. If you don't factor this into your questions and follow up, you are not doing journalism. You are doing public relations.

If you don't even ask this convicted sexual abuser about his record on this subject, you are disrespecting women. MSNBC, I am positive, has a majority of female viewers. How would they like it if they stopped watching?

Welker is being trashed on twitter, so I hope word is getting out not to watch this @##show. watching her eyes twinkle and her giddy smile as she discussed the interview made her look starstruck. Pathetic, and not journalism.

I have read comments on DU that he should be interviewed. Yes, he should be. By a real journalist.
