I'm going to have to start watching her show. She is awesome. I'm a journalist and I asked you a valid question. BOOM
She don't suffer fools gladly either, by gawd

(9,760 posts)immediately after each of those? Were they even publicized to enarly this extent?
Did we get immediate, correct details after the biggest terrorist attack on Ameican soil, 911? Fuck that sleazy lizard bastard Giuliani and all his slimy, hypocrite cronies.
Go Soledad!

A shitty one at that.
Dodging flaming debris on 9/11 does NOT qualify one as a foreign policy expert. If that were the case my GED-educated brother would be giving these interviews on CNN.
He probably wouldn't be shown his ass by Soledad O'Brien either. Just sayin'...

(60,010 posts)as a know it all on Crisis Management.
The blurb announcing his schedule was full of "9-11" references.
But he did not tour alone, there were several other people also speaking, and he had 4th place.
That's what I remember from the flyer...and that it was a ticket only event.
Making a profit ( speaker fees) from 9-11. WTG, scumhead.

(31,464 posts)I used to rag on her a LOT. But she seems to have found a footing. I like her. She's the only anchor actually asking serious questions.

(24,096 posts)just compare her to those many other weak kneed scaredy-cats, and I mean the hefties at MSNBC.
they would Never risk their cushy cush like she did.
I'm just wondering why Soledad Can do this and still keep her job! She has been out in front like this for a while now.
And I too used to really dislike her - more from guilt by association with her mostly useless colleagues at CNN -. so I apologize profusely to her now for she is what the others hope and pretend to be, but are far far away.

(31,464 posts)Why can't the poster give us the source? I'll spread it far and wide! It doesn't show up on YouTube.
I googled what I saw as the headline in the OP youtube pic:
Soledad O'Bien To Rudy Giuliani:...
and found it on the youtube list.

(31,464 posts)Tiabbi is excellent. I subscribe to Rolling Stone largely because of his writing. Yeah, I'm "old," I still like holding a physical magazine when I read a long article. LOL! I like Palast, but his e-mails annoy the hell out of me. I still received them, but I've learned to have them filtered into a separate "politics" folder in my mail box.
SomethingFishy
(4,876 posts)Maybe I should keep it that way.
Like you I am old and enjoy my paper. I got a Kindle as a gift and gave it to my wife, I just love the feel of a good book. Not to mention I fly a lot and like to be able to read while the plane is taking off and landing
She was great!

justiceischeap
(14,040 posts)and not a pundit is the same problem Rachel has on her show... Republicans will refuse to go on because they're afraid of tough questions. They're afraid of someone who wields facts instead of spin points, they're afraid of people who they can't control the message with.

It has to be the journalists, it has to be the networks hiring people who aren't affiliated with either party and do not use experts from partisan think tanks.

(3,596 posts)Rudy is so full of himself. I would like for her to have asked how long did it take for Bush to answer the question of what did he know about Bin Laden's threats to this country? It has come out YEARS LATER that it wasn't just the one warning in August of 2001 but multiple reports and warnings that started as early as the Spring of that year.
Rudy needs to find a nursing home somewhere and go live there.

Thank godmother that this could be the last time we ever see Guoliani again. Hopefully we'll be seing a LOT more of Solidad, though.
Thanks for posting.

(292 posts)Oh having someone like Giuliani on and then having a knock down drag out fight trying to get him to say something reasonable.
Get a better quality of guest and stop trying to score cheap points.
Giuliani is an ass and not a worthwhile guest on a credible news show.

Anyway, thanks for the link, interesting exchange.
