The Boy Who Cried YYEEEEARRRGGHHHH!
By Matt Margolis | June 20, 2004
I can’t believe I missed this, but can you believe that the former-Democrat-frontrunner-turned-embarressment Howard Dean is denying the infamous scream ever happened:
Howard Dean said the scream speech “never happened,” and that its repetition more than 900 times in the following week showed cable “at its worst” and revealed cable news as a “Murdochized” entertainment medium, not journalism.
The former Vermont governor and presidential candidate calls it part of the “Murdochization,” of cable, referring to the growing success of Rupert Murdoch’s Fox News Channel. “Not because Murdoch is a right winger, which he is,” says Dean, “but because [Fox News Channel head] Roger Ailes is so incredibly good at what he does that the other stations [sic] are starting to copy what Fox does.”
Dean told a crowd of broadcasters in Washington Monday morning that all the cable networks showed of the speech following his loss in Iowa was “me at a microphone carrying on. No crowd noise or crowd shot,” that would have shown that the crowd was screaming and Dean was trying to make himself heard. None of the pool reporters reported the scream initially, he said. It was only the next day, when their editors saw it, with the noise-canceling mike making Dean stand out, that it became a story. “The speech as it was portrayed in cable television shows 937 times in one week “never happened,” he said.
Does Howard Dean think this it’s going to help him save face by crying about it? I watched that infamous speech live and my first thought was “He’s a f**king lunatic.”
Dean imploded. He screwed up. He was a lousy candidate with lousy ideas, and didn’t have a chance in hell of winning the general election. He’d do himself a favor if he’d stop whining about it and let it go.
YYEEEEARRRGGHHHH!
