http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/1101/23/rs.01.htmlDavid Zurawik, media critic for the Baltomore Sun, was on, arguing with David Shuster.
SHUSTER: But it was a very different type of show though than what Hannity or O'Reilly have been doing.
ZURAWIK: I don't agree with him being a poetic voice for the left and all of the things that were said. What I am upset about is the recklessness he exhibited.
When people say, oh, he was a little over the top, and, oh, he was a little bit too much, no. That is dangerous. That is the dangerous kind of rhetoric we have.
And NBC News is absolutely right to say this does not belong on our airwaves, we're going to dial it back. And that's what's happening here. You watch how fast Maddow and all of the rest of them dial it back in a week.
David Zurawik has been after MSNBC and Keith Olbermann for a while. See my later replies in the topic I posted about Reliable Sources earlier today
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x255354for what he was saying about MSNBC in May 2009, Olbermann's response, and Zurawik's attacks on Olbermann for objecting to the attack on MSNBC.
I didn't have an exact quote for his "dial it back" prediction till now, though, when I found the transcript on CNN's website.
Editing to add that I hope Rachel and Lawrence respond to this clown.
