Media: Chuck Todd slams Bill Clinton
Chuck Todd Slams Bill Clinton: "Woefully Unprepared For 21st Century Media"
Broadcasting & Cable Marisa Guthrie April 28
Quote:
If there's one thing that Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.), Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and Hillary Clinton (D-N.Y.) all have in common, it's that each of the presidential candidates has already endured his or her very own YouTube moment.
Whether it's a clip of McCain's erroneous assertion that Shiite Iran was training Sunni group al-Qaeda in Iraq, or videos of Obama's former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., shouting "God damn America!," or CBS News footage proving that Clinton's 1996 visit to Bosnia wasn't quite the Jerry Bruckheimer action movie she'd taken to recounting, the digitally fueled wildfire of unfortunate video moments has singed all three candidates.
But as NBC News political director Chuck Todd sees it, none has gotten burned by this new-media phenomenon quite like former President Bill Clinton.
"It's fascinating: Nobody's been a bigger victim of the so-called YouTube moments than Bill Clinton," Todd said. "I think Bill Clinton was woefully unprepared for 21st Century media."
