Lawrence O'Donnell is probably one of the worst "journalists" on television today.
I was watching the Sunday morning media show today and they were showing footage of him as he was saying...in a somber tone...that the HealthCare Bill not going to a vote was the day that the "Presidency of Donald Trump ENDED"
They were laughing at him and wondering if MAYBE he was being a little overdramatic.
Remember...if you are depending on O'Donnell for your information, you are using a TALK SHOW instead of a news report.
O'Donnell's show is total biased OPINION. No different than watching "Hannity" on Fox News from the other side of the coin.
At least Hannity openly admits he's a talk show host with strong conservative bias.
O'Donnell tries to pretend he's actually reporting the news. Which he is not.
But as you can see...it's convincing enough to fool people IF you are searching out a "news" item that confirms your pre-determined belief.
Anyway...we were all laughing this morning at O'Donnell when they played that clip of him and said "Maybe it's a little over-dramatic after only 64 days in office".
You would never have seen Walter Cronkite or Huntley & Brinkley make those kinds of opinionated conjectures. They were actually reporting the news...and not trying to shove their bias down your throat while pretending to be a real "journalist".
