Media Matters slaps Bumiller on FTN, pushed Dean to criticize Hillary
There is contact info there if you think she was out of line. She was really awful, truly was. Then Media Matters shows more clips to make clear they are using an "angry Hillary" theme. Surprisingly the Chris Matthews panel, of which a clip is shown, was not so bad. Bumiller was awful.

Write up and video from FTN as well some other clips.

"BUMILLER: Mr. Dean, let me ask you about Ken Mehlman, the chairman of the Republican Party, said last week that Hillary Clinton was angry and -- too angry, and that Americans will not elect an angry candidate. What do you say to that?

DEAN: Well, first of all, I generally don't talk about 2008 because I have to be the referee in that race, and if I say anything about one of them, I've got to say something --

BUMILLER: Wait, we're just talking about what Mr. Mehlman said. We're not talking --

DEAN: I'm going to get to that in a minute.

BUMILLER: OK.

DEAN: So I'm going to leave the question of Senator Clinton's remarks aside."

(Then she does it again)

"BUMILLER: But let me just --

DEAN: He misled the American people about the cost of the drug benefits for seniors and made a mess of that --

BUMILLER: Let me -- -- let me just --

DEAN: What has this president done right?

BUMILLER: -- try to get you to talk about Mrs. Clinton. What -- how do you react to --

DEAN: Well, I'm not going to talk about Senator Clinton. She's running for re-election in --

BUMILLER: Do you think she's too angry? Do you agree with Mr. Mehlman?

DEAN: She -- I said I'm not going to talk about the 2008 race."


He does go on to agree with what Clinton said, but this pumping someone like this is ridiculous.

Contact info for CBS and Bumiller at the link.
