Yellow Journalism

So Mike Wallace gets a once-in-a-lifetime interview with Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and it ends up looking more like a tea party than a journalistic endeavor. Ahmadinejad is saavy, no doubt; his answers were deft and well-crafted. But his inconsistencies drove me almost as crazy as the fact that Wallace didn't call him on them. Bush wants to settle things with bombs; we want a cultural exchange. Yes, this sounds like just the thing a man who wants to "wipe Israel off the map" would be interested in... cultural exchange.

Meh. I'll let you watch the rest for yourself:
