What’s hot/What’s not: 1/13/08
What’s hot:
FNC’s South Carolina Debate - The ratings for last Thursday’s debate were the highest of the season for FNC.
What’s not:
Rush to judgement - Cable news nets wound up doing an about face as the New Hampshire primary results trickled in. The evening started with last rights being given to the Clinton campaign and the annointing of Barack Obama only to wind up proclaiming Hillary as another “comeback kid”.
You should really add Chris Matthews as an addendum to your not hot list. His coverage, more so than anyone else’s was singled out for it’s burying of Clinton, and his misogyny with her campaign. Hell he got called out on primary night for it, even Clinton herself mocked his coverage of her the day before at a press conference. He’s really become the poster boy for the whole thing.

Joe, Hannity has been working on his anti-Hillary campaign since day one, and he is truly preaching to the choir (I am sure not one Hillary fan would EVER watch Hannitiy to begin with). Matthews, OTOH, puts himself out there as a moderate-to-liberal, with the same type of audience, so his statements were in fact impactful to the NH primary.
Matthews did go over the top, even for him, and dems seem to have reacted and came out to show their support for her.

By Matthews having “the same type of audience”, I meant people that basically agree with him (Matthews), not with Hannity.
