Nice sentiment, but it rings hollow if Scarborough himself isn’t willing to “apply some pressure on his peers” — folks like Keith Olbermann, that is, who regularly confuses name calling with policy debate.
Didn’t Olbermann call a conservative columnist a “mashed up bag of meat” or something like that? Didn’t he rant at Scott Brown on the night of his election, calling him racist and the like? Didn’t he say “get the popcorn” before cutting to Christine O’Donnell’s concession speech on election night? These are but a few examples in a long body of work.
Instead of lecturing the people he can’t control, Scarborough should seek to clean up the house he lives in — MSNBC.
