Katrina Vanden Heuvel Calls Out Fox’s ‘Sycophantic’ Limbaugh Interview
Rush Limbaugh’s interview with Fox News’ Chris Wallace on Sunday, during which he criticized President Obama’s “out of this world ego” and described the president as “immature,” “inexperienced,” and “in over his head” is still making waves.
On Joy Behar’s HLN show last night both Arianna Huffington and The Nation‘s Katrina Vanden Heuvel weighed in on the interview, which Vanden Heuvel described as ‘sycophantic’:
This was more than a softball interview, this was sycophantic. Chris Wallace was, like, lapping up every word. And it went unchallenged. Rush Limbaugh is a bully, and he has a bully pulpit on his radio show every day. And here he is getting a half hour on allegedly a news channel. And what he had to say was not really new, he’s out there to kind of cripple and delegitimize, take down the president, and this is not new.
Of course, if Rush Limbaugh is indeed somehow functioning as the defacto head of the Republican party, than perhaps giving him the entire half hour makes more sense in light of today’s elections. Video below.
