     COMMENTS: Gentle Rights

The meeting between the leaders of the United States of America and the People's Republic of China was so unimpressive in ABC's eyes that it did not even assign its White House correspondent to cover it. CBS' Chip Reid reported on "hours of meetings where little progress was made" while NBC's Savannah Guthrie noted that "despite a lot of talk about a new era of cooperation it is clear this will take time." The agenda facing Hu Jintao and Barack Obama included trade and human rights, which were mentioned by both Guthrie and Reid. "Obama gently nudged his hosts on human rights," was how NBC's Guthrie put it. "The President raised the issue of human rights but only gently," according to CBS' Reid. NBC's Guthrie also touched on climate change and nuclear proliferation.
