Rachel Maddow’s Restrained And Poignant Report Of Obama’s Visit To Ground Zero
Almost immediately after President Obama announced the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, the politicization of the capture and killing of bin Laden began. And oddly, the political playbooks of right and left appeared to be swapped: some traditionally progressive outlets were lauding Obama’s “victory” trip to Ground Zero while other outlets known for a conservative bent were focusing on the seemingly inappropriate politics involved.
But last night, Rachel Maddow once again showed how its done, chronicling every detail of Obama’s visit without one word of judgment, celebration or aspersion.
The following segment reminds us that sometimes all one needs to do is report on the events as they happen, letting the viewer make their own conclusion. Yes, some cynics are sure to see this segment as hagiography, but its worth pointing out that in the age of opinion media, its can be much more effective to leave opinions out. Or put another way, just the facts ma’am.
