As I said on the blog, the real telling comment came by Olberman at the end when he said that Gingrich "left openings" and that they, his network, through Brokaw (sp) would provide responses.
He's saying that it is his networks responsibility to rebut Gingrich. WRONG.
One lesson here is that Gingrich is a college professor of history. A subject matter expert in history. Don't test him on it. Duh! The reporter had probably been told that Newt was a hick from GA. In all likelihood the reporter didn't have a clue who he was really dealing with and his producer sent him out to be slaughtered.
