I think it's safe to say that most personalities on TV are educated idiots. They might even have some good degrees and education, but they are a still nothing but blowhard idiots. It's been a while since I've been able to stomach anything more than a couple minutes of the drive-by media on any channel.

I agree!

That's why I keep the Pepto handy.

I think the political/cable news discussion began when someone bashed Fox News. But, I believe your point that - they are all idiots - is a good place to end the discussion.

Nothing good can come from this. Except, it gives Carl and ts a chance to become friendly again.

I'm all about Fox: Hot sassy-ness.



Now I want to see Buzzpat go on Maddow's show! HA! I doubt he'd be so smitten as he was on Fox that time when he was working his magic:



Really, there is nothing better than a TIVO pause gone ugly.

From the play book of how not to think for yourself and criticize conservatives: When you find yourself unable to regurgitate MSNBC talking points and grasping for straws always know you can go for the "FOX is biased!" card.

Maybe Seal Team 6 can rescue Elisabeth Hassleback from the set of the view and then blow the rest of it up?

It looks like Buzz's eyes are down and to the left. Well Played Sir!

The truth about media bias is that it's not how they say it that is the bias but rather what they elect not to say.

I'd rather live in a world where the people telling you what happened also tell you where they stand. I prefer this over a world of Walter Cronkite and Barbara Walters claiming to be above the fray or unbiased when that's patently untrue.

Give me Rush, Beck, O'Reilly, Hannity (who annoys me btw), Greta (who has a great show), Madcow, Boar, I mean Behr, Woopie? and whoever else has the guts to tell you who they are and what they believe before they try to tell me what's happening out there. Lay it all out for the world to see. Let me be the judge. Frankly, I can't stand being stuck listening to CNN in the airport knowing they're not telling you everything because if you go to Drudge you can see other articles on the subject that provide a better context and probably less spin.

Which really is what Rush Limbaugh's niche was when he started in that he red you the headlines and talked about that stuff the big 3 and CNN wouldn't acknowledge. Ironically it seemed as if most of his articles are from the big "liberal" papers who burried the "real" story on page 32 instead of putting it on 1- but it was there waiting for someone to "post it" nationally. Rush was in essence the Drudge Report and Puffington Post before the internet.

So, if I'm reading your drift correctly, because they also don't pretend to be unbiased, you prefer the commentators at MSNBC, too?
