This back and forth between Norah O'Donnell and Matt Yglesias just tipifies how shitty journalism is in this country. The whole time Matty Y is making the case that the Republican pushback on Nancy Pelosi could end up creating the needed buzz for a Truth Commission, Norah O'Donnell won't even consider his point because she is adamant that there won't ever BE an investigation. Never once does it cross her mind that as a journalist on a "cable news" network SHE should be pushing for an investigation also. Nope, she is much more comfortable hiding behind President Obama and his administration's stance that there be no investigation. Its not even worth pointing out to her that President Obama has no ability to block such an investigation should they take it up in Congress. It is amazing how people who have no clue what it means to be a journalist are given a prime platform. You have to wonder why they invited Matty Y on in the first place unless they just wanted to pour cold water on his article in the Daily Beast. Just pathetic.
