Controversy

During an August 10, 2007 appearance on the MSNBC program Hardball with Chris Matthews, Burnett commented on the standard of Chinese-made goods: MSNBC, a combination of MSN and NBC, is a 24-hour cable news channel in the United States and Canada, and a news website. ... Hardball with Chris Matthews is a talk show on MSNBC broadcast weekdays at 5 and 7 PM hosted by Chris Matthews. ...

“ I think people should be careful what they wish for on China. You know, if China were to revalue its currency or China is to start making, say, toys that don't have lead in them or food that isn't poisonous, their costs of production are going to go up, and that means prices at Wal-Mart here in the United States are going to go up, too. So I would say China is our greatest friend right now. They're keeping prices low and they're keeping prices for mortgages low, too.[8] ”

Burnett's commentary was criticized by satirist Jon Stewart on the August 16 edition of The Daily Show.[9] The following day, Burnett revisited her remarks during another appearance on Hardball: Devaluation is a reduction in the value of a currency with respect to other monetary units. ... Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. ... This article is about the legal mechanism used to secure property in favor of a creditor. ... Not to be confused with John Stewart or John Stuart. ...

“ You know, this follows what you and I were talking about. It has happened to Mattel a couple of times. Toys made in China, there are some safety questions, all right? That's the fact.

And you and I were talking about—this is what people got upset about. I had said that, look, if people want to start making toys, and, by a extension, a lot of other things guaranteed to be safe, and make them in China, then the costs of production are going to go up in China, and that means prices at Wal-Mart may go up, too. Mattel Inc. ...


China has kept prices low in this country. And that's why I called China our friend the other night on Hardball. But, you know, Chris, nobody wants children to play with toys that are not safe. Nobody wants that. I don't want that. You don't want that. But safety and quality come with a price.[10]

Quotes

  • When asked if she had always wanted to be a television journalist, Burnett said, "I wish I could say I was one of those people that grew up wanting to be Jane Pauley, but we only had three channels. There was no cable, no satellite; there wasn’t even an NBC affiliate in my town. I remember having a big crush on Dan Rather though, and I remember watching the McNeil-Lehrer News Hour; but no I didn’t want to be a television journalist." [1]
  • When asked about being considered the next-gen Bartiromo, Burnett said, "People always like to have rivalries. She and I get along, but we have different styles. I don’t know if the comparison is flattering [to either one of us]."[11]
