R.I. Congressman Blasts Media Coverage of Massa (VIDEO)
Ted FioralisoThursday, March 11, 2010
WASHINGTON --  Rhode Island congressman Patrick Kennedy is blasting the news media as "despicable" for its non-stop coverage of Eric Massa's resignation and ignoring the war in Afghanistan even as troops continue to die there.
     “If anyone wants to know where citizens is. There are two press people in this gallery. We're talking about Eric Massa 24/7 on the TV, we're talking about war and peace, $3 billion, 1,000 lives and no press, no press, you want to know why the American public is fit? They're fit because they're not seeing their Congress do the work that they're sent to do,” yelled a frustrated Kennedy on Wednesday.
     Kennedy announced last month he would not seek a ninth term in Congress.
