Recently MSNBC's David Shuster made a big no-no. While talking about Chelsea Clinton's role in her mother's campaign, he kinda-sorta called her a 'ho.
"Doesn't it seem like Chelsea's sort of being pimped out in some weird sort of way?"
Oops. Watch the clip here:
As you can imagine, a whole firestorm has come up out of this (click here to see what Media Matters has to say about it)
I wrote a column for my school's newspaper, The GW Hatchet, in which I ask the question: Is the media pimping out politics?
There's still so much election coverage - I can't wait to see what comes out of these talking-heads' mouths in the months to come. Will Bill O'Reilly accidentally say the N-word? Will Lou Dobbs blame his chronic diarrhea on bad Mexican food that upset his stomach?
