Kimberly Moffitt, assistant professor of American Studies, was a guest on the “Marc Stenier Show” on Wednesday, January 2, where she looked back at the year in politics and discussed the fiscal cliff. She was joined by Bob Somerby, editor of the Daily Howler, Richard Vatz, professor in the Department of Mass Communication and Communication Studies at Towson University, Lenny McAllister, conservative media personality, public speaker and writer, and Cheri Honkala, co-founder of the Kensington Welfare Rights Union and co-founder and former vice presidential candidate for the Green Party.
“From a media critic perspective, I’ve just been irritated by the amount of rhetoric around the conversation that has kept us from getting any work done,” Moffitt said, adding that the media’s coverage of the fiscal cliff has made it difficult for the public to be informed on the real issues in the debate.
