Ann Coulter om de amerikanske medier

Ann Coulter har noget af et rygte på sig som højreorienteret kommentator og provokatør. Som Caryl Rivers beskrev hende: "She’s cute, blonde, mini-skirted, mean as a warthog, and somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan.”. Samtidig er hun eminent læsbar. Forleden havde hun et hib til den venstreorienterede presse i USA:

I enjoy making fun of CNN as much as the next guy, but CNN is not that liberal. It may be liberal compared to an average American, but it's certainly not liberal compared to CNN pre-Fox News. Consider that Peter Arnett used to be treated as a serious journalist on CNN. Even his work on the "Tailwind" hoax program did not jeopardize his standing.

Now, even MSNBC won't hire him. (Although I hear Arnett has a big interview at al-Jazeera next week — good luck, Peter!) After initially trying to stand by him, NBC was forced to fire Arnett after Americans erupted in fury at his traitorous comments on Saddam's state-run TV at the outset of the Iraq war. This is what liberals mean when they say the country has become "polarized." Now when they try to put traitors on air, Americans complain.

Og heldigvis for det.
