Howard Dean speaks to college press



DNC Chairman Howard Dean spoke to a group of college journalists in Drexel University’s Main Building at 4 p.m. Tuesday.

Dean said he gave the college generation an “A” for their political involvement and pointed to the Internet as a rallying point for activism.

Dean called the right wing media, especially Fox News, “hatemongers” and said people should “vote with their feet” and switch off these programs.

While the conversation was heavy on national and foreign policy issues, Dean did link Philadelphia’s rising crime to federal cuts in local police that occurred under the Bush Administration.

Stay tuned to The Trianlge’s web site for a full report on the interview with Howard Dean and the Democratic Primary Debate.
