When Hypocrisy No Longer Matters
<p>As Couric notes, the big “moment” on Meet the Press was always when Russert would hone in on a politician’s contradictions and catch them in a lie or a flip-flop. The politician would sputter and evade and then Russert would pounce and bag his prey.</p>
<p>Russert always irritated me — he seemed to focus more on whether a figure was consistent in their positions than whether that person was telling the truth or proposing something that was actually, you know, good. It always felt as if Russert would be perfectly happy if a senator had always supported starving America’s elderly to balance the budget, but God help the senator if he switched from a pro-starvation to an anti-starvation platform.</p>
