Barney Frank on Reporters: 'When People Say Stupid Things, I Say That They Are Stupid'

Barney Frank on Reporters: ‘When People Say Stupid Things, I Say That They Are Stupid.’ In an interview yesterday, Frank sounded off on the “hypersensitivity” of journalists and the one-way street of political reporting. “Do you think reporters worry about whether people cry after what they write about them?” Frank responded after being told that he’s brought some members of the news media to tears.
