We wrote a lot already about the controversy surrounding Jack Murtha, the GOP and the Democrats and the fireworks in the House.
But here are two more MUST-READS from Oxblog’s David Adesnik on this controversy. Adesnik does balance out some of the points in this story that have gotten lost amid the media coverage, the ‘vilify-him’ comments from the right and the ‘deify-him’ comments from the left:
(1) READ THIS by Adesnik on Murtha’s appearance on MSNBC’s “Hardball.” Re his comments: very definitely. A reporter is supposed to ask ALL interview subjects the toughest questions possible if it is to qualify as a true news interview.
(2) Then READ THIS by Adesnik on comparing the resolutions…and his conclusion about how all this has played out and who gets the political black eye in the end.
