Just woke up and watched NECN’s 6:30 AM report on last night’s debate. John Moroney is spinning hard for the Republican: “Kerry Healey did what she needed to do. She gave a strong performance.”
No, she didn’t. She asked the first question, her rivals gave 3 responses, and then she ludicrously said they didn’t answer her question. Mihos still had her number last night. And she never shook Patrick.
This reminds me of how the media recited spin that said Bush won his debates. For example Newsweek’s Jonathan Alter said:
ALTER (10/5/00): Well, you know, I called it for Bush. I just think that he had a very low standard to meet, and he met it.
We need to push back hard on this. We saw that debate: Healey is still taking a beating from the other candidates because her record is a millstone tied around her neck.
