Ezra Klein, funny stuff

[Mac1958]

I was just reading a column by Ezra Klein, and I flashed back on something I saw on teevee a few months ago. Klein, a consistent, dependable and articulate advocate of liberal issues, was one of two or three people being interviewed on MSNBC on split screen. The conversation went something like this:

MSNBC Host: So tell me Ezra, what is your opinion of (whatever the topic is)?

Klein: Well, I'm a journalist, I can provide information, but I don't want to give an opinion.

MSNBC Host: Oh, yes, of course, that's not an appropriate question....

It was at that point that I laughed, shook my head, turned off the teevee and went on a hike.

Surprised an MSNBC host would recognize such a gaffe.

Ezra is brilliant.

Wow Mac! Great story! We are all pleased to hear, from you, what an astute observer you are. If only all of us could be so discerning.....and so humble.
