Today, NBC News revealed just how angry they were over their inability to scoop the story of former President Bill Clinton's trip to North Korea. The trip of course lead to the release of US journalists Una Lee and Laura Ling.
Andrea Mitchell, who is traveling with Secretary of State Hilary Clinton filed her segment. In it, she decided to play up the "story" of former political rivals. She even managed to find 2008 footage of Bill Clinton critcizing then candidate Barack Obama. Remember the "fairytale" soundbyte? Well if you forgot, good ole' Andrea Mitchell made you remember it again. She of course didn't show Bill Clinton's speech at the DNC Covention in Colorado. Way too much unity and niceness in that segment. The focus must be kept on the "bitter" rivalry.
Was that snippet actually necessary? Have we not moved PAST Campaign 2008? I mean really. It is 2009 and Barack Obama is President. It seems like NBC wants a cage fight between these two men. Yeah. Okay.
Hell hath no fury...
