Campbell Brown brushes off criticism from the McCain camp.
From Howard Kurtz this morning:
Nicolle Wallace, a senior McCain adviser, says that when she was at the Bush White House she “admired” Brown’s approach but now believes the anchor is one-sided. “I find her work at CNN a stunning departure from journalism in the tradition of tough, smart women like Andrea Mitchell, Diane Sawyer and Katie Couric, to something that looks and feels a lot more like commentary in the mold of Keith Olbermann,” Wallace says.
Brown says the campaign has not offered specifics to back up its complaints about her supposed bias. “That as a journalist I dared to ask them to explain what Governor Palin’s foreign policy credentials were? That I dared to ask the campaign to give journalists basic access to their vice presidential candidate? This is why they are lashing out? Give me a break.”
Hear hear.
Update: New people coming to the site for the first time from Duncan’s place should read my first post on Campbell Brown arguing that she’s building a new model of engaged journalism that The New York Times could learn from.
