CNN’s Kirsten Powers Zaps Fox’s Martha MacCallum over Kavanaugh: She Was a ‘Sympathetic Interviewer’

‘They knew it would be an easy interview and it would be a sympathetic interviewer which it was’

RUSH EXCERPT: 

POWERS: "Well, I think it will help him with the people that they were targeting which is the base. And so that’s why they chose fox News. They knew it would be an easy interview and it would be a sympathetic interviewer which it was. I actually don’t think he did that great of a job, if you’re just an objective observer. Repeating over and over that you want a fair process but not really answering the questions, I don’t think necessarily bolsters him, but for the audience that they wanted to reach, I think it will have its intended effect which is to portray him as somebody who’s being persecuted and it will rally the troops around him. That’s what’s really has kept the Republicans on track is this fear of the base not turning out in the midterms because they’re angry that they’re not moving — if they don’t move forward with this nomination."
