Dennis House, host of Face the State, the public-affairs program on Hartford’s WFSB, Channel 3, has named the panel for the interview with Senate candidate Linda McMahon, which will be taped Thursday and aired Sunday.
House’s co-interviewers are Daniela Altimari of the Hartford Courant and Brian Lockhart of the Stamford Advocate. Both already have contributed valuable coverage of the McMahon campaign. Altimari wrote a profile of McMahon, which I discussed here. Lockhart wrote a piece exploring the tension between critics expressing distaste for McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment, and the reality of WWE’s economic impact on the state; I discussed that story here.
In House’s blog post announcing Sunday’s lineup (http://dennishouse.wordpress.com/2010/01/13/mcmahon-to-appear-on-face-the-state/), he joked, “Someone already calledtheappearance the ‘Rumble in Rocky Hill.'” That someone was the headline writer for Tom Dudchik’s Connecticut Capitol Report when it linked to my post earlier this week — in which I said we obviously can expect House & Company to do a much better job grilling Linda McMahon than Kate Snow of ABC News did last Saturday.
