[Video] Jesse Benton ends interview with belligerent Dana Bash

[KingNothing]

Was that video edited "slyly" or was it exactly what Ms. Bash said?

The one with her exact words. You can't actually believe that she's "afraid" of Ron Paul winning. She just misspoke. People do it from time to time.

 

[KingNothing]

I don't get it. How does "I" mean "the republicans I was talking to"? I don't see how you can construe that to mean anything other than "I am worried..." She said, "many Republicans are worried, AS I AM, that Ron Paul will continue on...

I just don't see how that can mean anything other than she was worried, along with the others. Either way, it was still a crap statement because she was playing the "he's unelectable and will hurt the nominee" card. There is no way you can defend crap like this.

Her inflection implied that she meant to say "Many Republicans are worried that Paul could win, and heck, you know what? I think he just might do it."

Her inflection implied that she meant to say "Many Republicans are worried that Paul could win, and heck, you know what? I think he just might do it."

Wow. I'm glad you can read her mind and give us all an exact representation of what she was implying.

Her inflection implied that she meant to say "Many Republicans are worried that Paul could win, and heck, you know what? I think he just might do it."

I watched the video and I got no such impression. The sentence makes perfect sense as it is, and there is no reason to think that she meant what you said because it is such a far stretch from the original words. Maybe I'm just not seeing it. You will probably have to post the video and cite specific examples in order to get me to understand what you mean.

I think its time Dr. Paul should stop wasting his time by talking to these kind of "reporters" !!

 

[Nate-ForLiberty]

that was almost fair. I think they realize that Huntsman has no chance of beating out Paul in NH.

 

[J_White]

I am not that impressed with that lady independent voter who would have voted for Dr. Paul , is he shook her hands ?
is it like an ego trip for her ? whichever candidate strokes her ego the most, gets her vote ?
I am sorry for the 90 yo mother, who had come there, but in that kind of media mob, I would still support what Dr. Paul did.
Or they could have told the media to wait outside and meet Dr. Paul after he finished his meeting in the diner.

 

[kuckfeynes]

Wow that was uncharacteristically fair and balanced.

Maybe they are starting to feel the blowback a bit?

I won't say where, exactly, but I remember running into Dana Bash at a particular event several years ago, and saying "Hi, Andrea," because I thought she was Andrea Mitchell. Man, she had the most pissed look on her face.

It was awesome.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

They should stop doing interviews with CNN completely. That would give them a bump with republicans.

This.

Seems that the media is desperate to find something. Was this manufactured? Who knows. I think we can expect more of it.

 

[Legend1104]

HAhahaha. Great line, "This is a joke, we're done."

 

[ronpaulitician]

I think its time Dr. Paul should stop wasting his time by talking to these kind of "reporters" !!

And miss quality interview segments like the one CNN made from this bit? Showing independent voters in the moment of making the final switch to Ron Paul? Showing the two polls favorable to Paul (not the PPP one)?

I think Wolf has a man crush on Paul. Had the reporter treated Paul unfairly in this piece, he may very well have defended Paul (as he has done in the past).

Be nice. You'll be amazed at the results.
