It pollutes the membrane, raises the blood pressure, and deflates the soul.

I get filled with despair when I see even DUers who regularly watch that propaganda and buy into the propaganda.

haven't looked back since, other than to confirm my suspicions with the MSM's treatment of Occupy Wall Street and Occupy Los Angeles.

You have to be rash, loud, and able to look into the camera to get sponsors. No sponsors no show.

work in that format - being aggressive and rude does. Ideas lose out to whoever is the rudest when the moderator doesn't do his job whether intentionally or because he doesn't care or isn't smart/quick enough to take over.

that the only way to win an argument with Maddow is to duct tape her mouth. They sure as hell can't do it with brains.

And, yes, Gregory sucks. There was a time when he was respected as a journalist.

He won't admit it, though.

Gregory was on Joe Scarbrow's program Friday morning and he was making as many excuses as he could for each 1 of the possible veep candidates for Romney, highlighting every single one of their supposed "qualities", but never mentioning any of their drawbacks.

And he cuts off Rachel most of the time whenever she is on Meet the Press.

one word about the lies coming out of Romney's campaign about Obama? Axelrod was pissed.

All in the same show where Rinse Peinus said that Obama has blood on his hands, and David didn't even bat an eye.

Hopefully one day the management at nbc will wake up and realize that David Gregory is in way over his head as moderator of MTP.
