As I do most every week, I tuned into Fareed Zakaria GPS this past Sunday. Fareed opened his show with his take on the media coverage of the BP Oil Spill that I thought was more or less perfect (in that it echoed what I have thought along... yay me!)
After returning to the Furriners office with the intention of putting up a link to a YouTube clip of Fareed, I found out that James Carville had blasted Fareed earlier in the week in response to Fareed's column in Newsweek. With all due respect to Mr. Carville, he does not seem to be thinking completely rationally on this topic. I certainly appreciate his passion and I think it is overall a very positive thing that he is screaming to anyone who will listen that more needs to be done to help the Gulf Coast - but Fareed, as is usual, is a tremendous voice of reason on an emotional topic.
Here are links to the relevant clips if you're interested:
Carville Blasts Zakaria (originally aired on June 10th)
Fareed's Take (aired on June 13th)
And here is one example of at least one news show "properly" covering the BP Oil Spill:
