Stu Rothenberg on the Need for Civil Discourse on Cable TV News
by Greg Stanko
Category: Issue Management, Public Affairs
As a companion to today’s earlier post on Lou Dobbs (see previous post), I wanted to call attention to a piece that Stuart Rothenberg had yesterday in Roll Call and on Real Clear Politics. In it, he announces that he will no longer do MSNBC’s “Hardball” since it no longer has a civil approach to political discussion.
I’ve been cynical that the civil discussion can lead to ratings success, but Rothenberg makes a number of important points and a rather impassioned case that is worth reading.
