Krauthammer Mocks Inside Washington Host for Citing MSNBC's Fineman: 'I Like Your Choice of Objective Sources'

February 11th, 2012 8:32 AM

It was rather telling on Friday when Gordon Peterson, the host of PBS's Inside Washington, cited the Huffington Post's Howard Fineman calling Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney "a giant hairball" on MSNBC.

Luckily for viewers with some objectivity, syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer was there to call Peterson out saying, "I like your choice of objective sources" (video follows with transcript and commentary):


GORDON PETERSON, HOST: I heard Howard Fineman say on MSNBC that Mitt Romney is like a giant hairball that the Republicans can’t cough up.

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: I like your choice of objective sources.

PETERSON: But do you disagree?

KRAUTHAMMER: "Hairball" has a pejorative connotation. I hate to say that.

So the host of one of the nation's oldest televised political talk shows watches MSNBC.

Any questions?

Associate Editor’s note: As you are likely aware, since the financial collapse of 2008, charities and non-profit organizations have seen a sharp reduction in donations. Although the environment has improved, contributions are still nowhere near where they were prior to the recession. Unfortunately, the Media Research Center has not been immune. With this in mind, your support has become more important than ever. With a critical election approaching, the liberal media needs to be monitored 24/7. As we have been predicting for months, the press are willing to do anything to get their beloved politicians elected and/or reelected. As such, we need your help to fight this fight. Any contribution, even $10, is greatly appreciated. Please consider a tax-deductible gift to the Media Research Center to help us battle the liberal media. Thank you.
