There is undoubtedly something to Ed Klein’s claim that he’s getting the TV blackout treatment on his book. Consider that Kitty Kelley got a Today Show rollout, as Howard Kurtz notes this morning. The Truth About Hillary Clinton is not exactly below the “news” talks shows—Matt and Katie had the new Princess Di/JFK Jr. “news” on their TelePrompter this morning, for instance.

But the impression you’re left with in the Kurtz piece seems a little broad-brushed. Joe Scarborough is taking his marching orders from Hillary? John Gibson is? I think not. I would have liked Today and others to have defended themselves to Kurtz, Scarborough and Bill O’Reilly aren’t half as interesting here.
