Alex Wagner had a whole segment on that.

Andrea Mitchell was horrible and totally dismissive, actually missing what Kerry said about Syria to imply he talked about weapons, and that Obama would not follow.

A lot of what Kerry will be able to do will depend of Obama and what he wants to do, but I find extremely irritating the dismissive reactions the media have, but what is new.

(BTW, on a different side, the media seem to be just as dismissive with Markey, so I guess this goes with this MA senate seat).
