Whoa. Will Oliver Darcy have a job on CNN tomorrow? [View all]
I just saw him on Jim Acosta's show on CNN critiquing Kristen Welker's interview with cheato. He was scathing. I'm not talking about mildly critical. He acknowledged that keeping cheato from lying is very difficult, but said that she should have been fact checking him in REAL TIME. He said that a producer could be sitting there to help with that if necessary. But, basically, he made the point that fact checking after the interview is not sufficient. And he said that letting these lies get out is dangerous.
He also said that all journalists know that he has a proven track record of lying, so that treating him like a normal politician is very dangerous for our democracy. He wondered why the media is still not able to interview this person in an effective way.
Oh, and after that he said Drew Barrymore has reversed her decision to cross the picket line by resuming production her show due to public pressure. 
All in all, it was a refreshing 10 minutes or so on CNN.
