The other way in which Castellanos attempted to distract from and diminish the cold factuality of Maddow's statements was by continually chuckling in a bemused and condescending way whenever she was speaking, as though he couldn't believe she was saying something so silly -- a tactic one would expect from the class troublemaker in kindergarten.<br /><br />I, too, would love to see him torn a new one (politely) on her show, but I suspect he's too big a coward to risk having his BS challenged in a forum where there's no indulgent, enabling referee to act as an ideological shield.Frank Stonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11717740988326817494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11363027.post-92225113912058386752013-01-08T13:07:39.204-06:002013-01-08T13:07:39.204-06:00Excellent meta-level analysis, DG.

On the one hand, it would provide enlightening feedback of what the critical-thinking users of their product are thinking. OTOH, it would be like being inside a hall of mirrors, where every move you make would tend to be distorted by your pre-reaction to what others might see. I'd love to be a fly on the screen to learn what you, or bigger meeja critix like Charles Pierce, hear from "inside-the-pressway" types.

He's lucky she didn't haul off and sock him one. After this happened I wondered if she'd get him on her show to point out just how big of a liar he is. But when the liar just smiles and refuses to acknowledge truth, as all of these people do, it's pretty frustrating.<br /><br />marindenverhttp://www.rumproast.comnoreply@blogger.com
