You did wonder why devote the entire program to the interview in which he accused the United Nations Security Council of being in the back pocket of the United States and Britain, questioned the way the U.S. treats its own citizens and at one point posed a question of his own to Wallace: you the representative of the Zionist regime or a Instead, CBS opted to couple it with a repeat of a Morley Safer piece on Comedy Stephen Colbert. News from the Middle East is only seen here through the prism of the American metabolism for it, filtered by star who move about easily in a news-o-tain- ment world. there be some cultural mechanism in place to prevent Tucker Carlson, seen on the Israeli border one week, from being announced as a celebrity contestant on With the the next? like to think that someone on staff dinged Carlson as a potential interlocutor after seeing the item on his Google news. The hour on C- SPAN played like the 25 minutes, which is to say I had hoped we would get to see more of the environment of the interview the entering and exiting of the participants, the beforehand and aftermath.

This is stock in trade, the way they leave the cameras running. No such luck, though.

Wallace, for his part, seemed focused on bringing Ahmadine- rhetoric down to size. While some of the Monday morning quarterbacking variously accused Wallace of being too soft, or plain rude, he brought to the table his own form of sage belli- coseness, a kind of been-here, done-this attitude, having dropped in over the years on Yasser Arafat, Manuel Noriega, own Ayatollah Khomeini (he and his producers had reportedly been sitting in limbo in an un-air-conditioned hotel waiting to be summoned by Ah- men). There would be no time for Broll shots of the correspondent strolling with Ahmadinejad.But he did try to confront the Iranian president on vitriolic, anti-Semitic propaganda and grew exasperated with filibustering. I Wallace interrupted him after asking about the inflammatory Holocaust statements, suggesting one moment suggesting then, that Israel should be over in Germany, because where the Holocaust took not saying that, mind you.

Well, if an atrocity was committed in Germany, or Europe for that matter, why should the Palestinians answer for this? Why on the pretext of the Holocaust, they have occupied Palestine? This is a question that Western media, mass media, never bothered with, and to date Ihave not received an Mass media was the tool the Iranian president was commandeering on this night. Ahmadine- the broadcast said, was translating his comments, which had the effect of further warming the rhetoric. Finally, word came from off-camera that aides wanted him to wrap up. might have five more hours of Ahmadine- jad said. of course I Wallace said.
