msnbc continues to blur the lines of actual journalism and complete horsepucky by interviewing tonya harding. the suggestion, however unsubtle, is that clinton would resort to harding-like tactics against barack obama. our champions of truth, the watchdogs at mediamatters.org, cut through the baloney.

That in and of itself makes some point when Harding with her reputuation comes out looking better than mainstream media.
HALL: Let me ask you this. You talk about the way people view you. Obviously, big presidential race, and the "Tonya Harding option" actually came up in the news. Reportedly that was one of the options that Senator Clinton's campaign was looking at and that they would do anything to take out Senator Barack Obama. Your name became synonymous -- or is synonymous with taking out the other person. I know you had to have heard this. What did you feel, and how do you feel when even your name comes up in a situation like politics?
HARDING: Well, you know what? Whatever people said, it doesn't matter. It's their opinion. But I think that there's more important issues that we need to deal with in this world and that they need to focus on the candidacy at hand and hopefully help this country.
HALL: But did you cringe when you heard this, though?
HARDING: I just heard about it just a little while ago, and I just thought that it was really sad that they have to talk about me and not the problems in the world.
HALL: All right, Tonya. Thank you very much.
