In this week’s video, Howard Kurtz of Newsweek-Daily Beast and The Daily Download and I talk about President Obama’s growing reliance on Hollywood celebrities for his reelection campaign.
“I’ve gotten 10 emails from Obama inviting me to dinner with Sarah Jessica Parker,” says Kurtz. “It feels a little elitist.”
We also touch on the rest of the week’s news in media and politics: the White House denouncing the national security leaks that led to two New York Times stories, Bill Clinton wandering off script on Romney and the Bush tax cuts and Harvey Weinstein hosting Clinton on CNN.
Let us know your thoughts.
