Mainstream Scream: Cokie Roberts calls Hillary Clinton's 'grandma' message 'brilliant'
This week's Mainstream Media Scream features NPR's Cokie Roberts cheering on Hillary Clinton's "grandmother message" on issues like global warming as "brilliant."
On ABC's This Week Sunday, the grandmother of six said of Clinton:
"She does have a new message out from the last time which is the grandmother message and she's using it very well. On climate change for instance when she says everybody says I'm not a scientist. She says I'm not a scientist either, I'm just a grandmother with two eyes and a brain. Now, that's brilliant."
Media Research Center Vice President of Research Brent Baker explains our pick: "Roberts is easily impressed by cute one-liners – when they come from liberals who she admires. Plenty of older conservatives are grandmothers and grandfathers, but I don't recall Roberts ever trumpeting any of their comments as 'brilliant.'"
