Right Angle

[BrianFromWA]

I like watching some Fox shows, and I generally don't watch MSNBC (partially b/c I can't stand listening to Olbermann, who's dumber than even I am but refuses to come off of his high horse), and I have to preface it by saying I've never seen this lady's show.

I think she did an ok job leading in, and I don't think that the LV news guy was unfair. I think Ms. Angle represented a lot of things that a lot of people hate about politicians.

For example: "Tell us about why young people shouldn't get SS". We've had that discussion here in the last 6 hours. She brings up a "Harry Reid Lie". Who the eff cares if Harry Reid said something? There's a reporter here that is asking for your opinion on it.

The one part I would ask about is: why is this interview taking place in a bar, and not a studio or Ms. Angle's office or something (believe me, I'm not excusing her, but it seems like poor "reporting".)

It seemed to me like that was where she happened to be. My guess is if she'd said, listen, now is not a good time, but if you come to my office tomorrow I'll answer all your questions, the reporter would have been quite happy with that. But politicians tend to get interviewed whenever they go out in public, so she chose the venue, not the reporter, simply by choosing to be there.

to add further to the venue question, I think Rachel (the msnbc host) prefaced it by saying the woman was holding a rally at that location. Later in the local interview you could see that there many other reporters at this location as well.

For what it's worth, I'd never seen her either until I saw her interview with Rand Paul a few weeks ago. She seems like a sharp cookie.

Angle's "office" IS a bar.

Whatever bar is closest.

New poll, Reid up 7 points.
