Bernie Goldberg On CNN Reporter’s ‘Multiple Choice’ Waterboarding Query: I Thought It Was An SNL Sketch
On Monday night’s edition of The Factor, host Bill O’Reilly spoke with guest Bernie Goldberg tackled President Obama’s reaction when asked about GOP hopefuls’ supportive take on waterboarding, a practice that Obama banned in January of 2009. “Let me just say this,” Obama had responded. “They’re wrong.”
Was CNN’s Dan Lothian, the reporter who had posed that question, essentially and unfairly “baiting” Obama by asking him whether GOP candidates who disagreed with his take on waterboarding as either “uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible”?
Goldberg’s reaction: Wait, is this a comedy sketch?
Well, look. When I first saw this, I thought it was a Saturday Night Live comedy routine. Are you kidding? I mean, a reporter from a major news organization asking if Republicans are “uninformed, out of touch, or irresponsible”? President Obama even looked embarrassed by the question. During that pause, I thought he was going to say, “Hey, man, listen. I know you guys love me — and for good reason you love me — but this is embarrassing.
Goldberg added that he’s yet to see a question as “unvarnished” in its bias as the one Lothian posed to the President, calling it “jaw-droppingly blatant” and “ridiculous.”
