Small Talk
Posted by SCapozzola on April 17th, 2008The Washington Post’s Tom Shales suggested that last night’s bland Democratic debate on ABC was “another step downward” for the network and “dwelled” too long on “specious and gossipy trivia.” AAM director was similar appalled by the lack of serious discussion on jobs and the economy. In response, Scott offered the following:
“Pennsylvania voters were shortchanged by this debate. Every poll shows that the economy matters most in this election. Yet economic issues like jobs and trade received scant attention from the moderators. Instead, we were treated to a range of stale questions about as compelling as Vanilla Ice’s Greatest Hits. We expect and deserve better.”
