You do, of course, remember when the Left wing of the American media dug up every right wing talking point it could find from the 90s to join forces with Fox News in its all out effort to destroy Hillary and Bill Clinton during the 2008 Democratic primary.
Well, turnaround is fair play, is it not? Read the transcript below and then follow the link to watch the ABC video showing Secretary of State Clinton critiquing the American media as substandard while lifting up the success of Al Jazeera.
Ironically, the Huffington Post (one of the worst anti- Clinton offenders in 08) provides the transcript of Clinton’s comments and the video.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Al Jazeera is gaining more prominence in the U.S. because it offers "real news"--something she said American media were falling far short of doing.
Clinton was speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and she said the U.S. is losing the "information war" in the world. One of the reasons she cited for this was the quality of channels like Al Jazeera.
"Viewership of Al Jazeera is going up in the United States because it's real news," she said. "You may not agree with it, but you feel like you're getting real news around the clock instead of a million commercials and, you know, arguments between talking heads and the kind of stuff that we do on our news which, you know, is not particularly informative to us, let alone foreigners."
