: Dispatches from the Culture WarsPoliticians Promoting a Media Company?
By Ed Brayton
This is kinda weird. Dave Weigel was at the Values Voters Summit over the weekend and found Jesse Watters, that irritating git of a producer that Bill O'Reilly likes to send around to ambush people who say mean things about him, interviewing politicians to get them to say things to promote a Fox News website. Eric Cantor, Mitt Romney, Michelle Bachmann and others are all on video promoting the website, as if they were celebrity endorsers talking about how they get all their bling from Jacob the Jeweler.
I'll put the video below the fold, but can anyone think of anything even remotely equivalent to this? A news media outlet getting the people they cover to sing their praises and promote their coverage? I can't think of anything.
