1208
Duration: 24.62 seconds
Julian Borger: And that is a difference with America where it is beneath the dignity of the head of state -- the President -- to be grilled in such an undignified manner in Congress. So he doesn't have to face that. And without that -- Without that collision of executive and legislative, you don't have -- the sparks don't fly.

Duration: 16.18 seconds
Julian Borger: It's a relatively dull matter in Congress, because there are no real -- there are not the same "stinks". The President isn't there answering questions. Isn't there confronting angry Senators or Congressmen.

Jim Lobe: The reporters look to other institutions for, in a sense, what is permissible to report and what is not -- particularly elite reporters.

Jim Lobe: "Is there a credible weight in the opposition party, a credible number of opposition party people who are raising these questions?"

Jim Lobe: And obviously, the latter was the easier course, particularly when the only person who was trying to raise hell in Washington, D.C. was Robert Byrd, and to some extent Al Gore and Senator Kennedy. I mean, these such small voices, although prominent people, but nonetheless the fact that people weren’t following them made them easy to marginalize in the mind of mainstream media.

Jim Lobe: If you don't like what the professionals or Congress is telling you, then create your own institutions to tell you the things you want to hear

Helen Thomas: I would say that it's issue-based at the White House when they're preparing for a new legislative session or something. But if something's happening -- there's a real crisis, then it's events. So it's both.
