Anyone watch ABC News tonight, with Jennings? They finished with another look at Dean's supposed scream after Iowa. It wasn't bad, I'll give them credit. They had, yes, Diane Sawyer look at video and audio from the crowd perspective, giving the necessary context, not just playing a single camera angle with the audio of a handheld, background noise-filtering microphone. Of course, from this perspective the whole thing was completely different. The noise was deafening; probably the only one who could hear Dean was Dean himself. It was obvious had to yell because of the crowd's cheering, not because of any bogus temperament issue.
ABC then got quotes from the other networks admitting that what they didn't wasn't really proper or accurate.
And, alas, they naturally gave the last word to awful Roger Ailes, who said, "Yeah, we maybe played it up a bit. But that kept him around for another week." Which translates as yeah, we got it wrong, but it HELPED Dean! Horse apples. What helped Dean was the outrage from sites like dKos and the commitment of Dean supporters. An historic dropping of the ball by the media.
Somebody should keep track of when the media corrects itself like this. It might help them to know we are watching and that we demand information delivered professionally, no sensationalistically. We could call it, "Media Culpa" or something equally witty. Thoughts, reactions?
