Wow...did an MSNBC host get a back bone...temporarily anyway.
Dylan RatiganAs Congress winds up deliberation on government health care reform, the issue is getting other people wound up as well -- on the air. According to the Associated Press, MSNBC's 'Morning Meeting' host Dylan Ratigan has issued an apology for a live confrontation with congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, a Democrat from Florida who appeared on the show last Friday to discuss the health care reform bill with Ratigan.
The conversation became heated when Ratigan pressed Schultz to explain why presumed passage of the bill was spurring insurance stocks to rise in value when logic would seem to dictate the opposite; when she demurred, stating that "I am not a stock analyst," Ratigan castigated her for "not answering my question," adding "I do not have time for you to come do talking points because it makes you feel good."
