Transcript:

I want to show you something else now. I want to bring your attention to something that's been said by Sharron Angle in Nevada. Now, Sharron Angle has said a lot of controversial stuff. But I think it could be argued that this one maybe takes the cake.

She is saying that you, Jessica, and me, Rick Sanchez, have to interview her in such a way so that we give her only what she wants so that she could get more support. It's -- well, let's listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SHARRON ANGLE (R), NEVADA SENATORIAL CANDIDATE: We needed to have the press be our friend.

CARL CAMERON, FOX NEWS: Wait a minute. Hold on a second. To be your friend?

(CROSSTALK)

CAMERON: That sounds naive.

ANGLE: Well, no. We wanted them to ask the questions we want to answer, so they report the news the way we want it to be reported, and when I get on a show and I say, send money to sharronangle.com, so that your listeners will know that if they want to support me, they need to go to sharronangle.com.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SANCHEZ: I don't know. When I think back to, like, Professor Irving Fang and some of those guys who taught me at the University of Minnesota, I don't ever remember one of them telling me that I was to go out there and only ask politicians the questions that they want to be asked.

YELLIN: No? Really?

(LAUGHTER)

YELLIN: You know what I would like, Rick? I would like all politicians to answer questions just like she did, to speak their absolute truth, even if it blows your mind.

Wow. What a gift to Carl Cameron. And he called her even naive at that point. "That seems a little naive" is what he said. And even "National Review," a conservative publication, posted an item online about it, and they called it, did she just say that out loud?

So, even conservatives are sort of raising their eyebrows about this one.

SANCHEZ: Well, does she not know or -- because I know that she's stepped in land mines in the past. So, because of that history, people are saying, does she not know that there's supposed to be an adversarial relationship between journalists and politicians?

YELLIN: Well, it actually perfectly plays into the -- I should say, the reason this could matter, that her comments could matter, is because Democrats are using it already to feed this narrative that not only in their view is she extremist, outside the mainstream, but, to your point, that she might not be ready for prime time.

And if you go online, you will already see the Reid campaign has a video of times that Sharron Angle has ducked press questions. The Dems have a page called Sharron Angle's Underground Bunker of her alleged extreme positions. So, it just feeds this overarching theme that, yes, she's not familiar with this terrain. Odd thing to say to a reporter.

1. while that may have been a two camera shoot

it certainly was not an unedited video. That video was cut up like catfish nuggets. I'm more interested in what was covered up by cutaway shots and what was totally cut out.

In the first place, the press isn't anyone's friend.

In the second place, why can't SharRUNAWAY-from-reporters stand in her truth and take her asswhippin' for it? She wants to be given a pass because she knows that her ideas haven't even made it to the half baked stage and she doesn't have to want to explain herself. No... you came to run with the big dogs, so run already. She and palin want to be given some freakish kind of pass when its obvious that they have nothing knocking round up in their heads but lopsided marbles.

she is a joke and if the people of Nevada have any good sense at all, they will crush her ass at the polls.

2. I wondered about the jumpy editing too.

Of course, I assume that everything on fox "news" is false or phony in some way.

3. No, Rick, she does not know and for good reason. Most reporters treat republicans like she wants.

because the GOP is comprised of bullies and the press is scared shitless of them. They are afraid they might say "liberal media" or "She's an arab Jew hater....I mean, she wants us to pay tribute to the dead Taliban, fire her immediately."

she doesn't even have to ask Fox. She is an idiot.
