Pretend journalist? Are you kidding me?

Found this and I got a laugh out of it. First Mr Zurawik's issue with Mrs Clinton

Chelsea Clinton, Still NBC’s Pretend Journalist

I know there are questions on my beat larger and more pressing than who’s worse as a TV journalist, Chelsea Clinton or Jenna Bush Hager, the presidentially-connected, pretend correspondents at NBC News.

But I continue to be fascinated by a network news division putting someone as outrageously unqualified as Clinton on a prime-time newsmagazine. I watched her again last week in a softer-than-soft piece on a weight loss program started by Pastor Rick Warren at his Saddleback Church, and I can say with absolute certainty that she has not improved one lick in the last year.

In fact, I think she is worse than when she started this job for which NBC News President Steve Capus said “it’s as if she had been preparing her whole life.”

That’s why I read with such fascination a piece at Politico this week suggesting Clinton was ready for the “next act” in her life.

Here’s the nut graph: “Family friends and supporters says Chelsea Clinton, who has evolved from a frizzy-haired little girl in the White House to a self-assured public figure in her own right, is ready to play an increasingly larger role in the national debate and may emerge as a pre-2016 surrogate of sorts as her mom mulls her future plans.”

The piece is filled with quotes from those family friends and supporters describing Clinton as “incredibly articulate and human…charmingly personal while at the same time substantively deep...”

OK, got it. Chelsea's there to help the Democrats in general and Mrs. Bill Clinton in specific. But if your issue is pretend journalist there Dave, take a look at NBC News period. It's filled with one Democratic hack after another. Can you tell me time Andrea Mitchell actually asked B Hussein Obama a tough question with follow up on the Libyan Embassy attack? The criminal David Gregory, has he ever asked Eric "Fast and Furious" Holder about the deaths caused by Mexican gangs using guns provided by the US government? You have to go to local or foreign media to actually get these issues covered.

Legit question, but Chelsea (and Jenna) are the most minor signs of the disease. David Gregory succeeded Tim Russert but he is no replacement. No one questioned Russert was a liberal but he was a fair, honest journalist. Many a Democrat was uncomfortable under actual questioning by him. David Brinkley was a conservative but on This Week he was someone to hold Washington's elites to account.

Maybe if NBC (and MSNBC, and ABC, and CBS et all) would think of challenging the power brokers in Washington they would be taken serious. But I doubt that. B Hussein Obama and his minions have more to destroy.
