Right-wing commentators like Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly have
damaged the country, according to Alex S. Jones, the outgoing head of
Harvard University's Shorenstein Center on Press, Politics and Public
Policy, who announced his departure Wednesday after 15 years leading the
prestigious media training center.
"I wish they could be more objective, I don't begrudge them their
particular politics, I just wish they weren't simply one note, I think
it's damaging," said Jones, a former media writer for The New York Times and longtime media critic.
Jones cited the conservative media's coverage of President Obama: "Obama
certainly is the president and the president is always legitimate prey
for criticism, but I don't think that they have done a good thing for
our country to be completely undermining him in every way they possibly
could. I don't think that's good for any president, Republican or
Democrat."
