Howard Kurtz interviewed Jann Wenner on June 29, 2008 on CNN's "Reliable Sources," as Wenner described an early interview with Barack Obama. The screengrab above is from the transcript. And here are the same words in an easier-to-read format.
KURTZ: But you closed the interview -- you closed the interview with these words: "Good luck. We are following you daily with great hope and admiration."
It sounds like you're getting ready to write him a check.
WENNER: Already done that.
KURTZ: You're an Obama donor.
WENNER: I put that in there because I -- I left that in there because of his answer to that thing, in which he says, "Don't worry, we'll get this done."
Ladies and gentlemen of the The Cable Game Jury: Wenner is clearly in love with Obama.
And so if Barack were to ask Jann for a little favor, such as, say, "Would you do a hit piece on Fox?" what do you think Jann would say?
