Do the pundits really think the way they speak or is it just simply

a "presidentially kind" spin for the public? I watch several pundits tonight on the news-Hardball, the Situation,etc. They cannot really think that * was doing a bang up job or think that he really was strong on security or that his latest screwups are not his own fault but that of a B team, a tired staff, etc. Are they really that taken in by this guy? Surely they are smarter than that. Or are they run scared by the corporate news media?

2. They have their own agenda

based on how important it is to their organization to keep Bush afloat....many have underlying contracts with Republicans so they're not exactly independent analysts

6. Chris Matthews said just Wednesday....

....that people who come on his show often say something 180 degrees different when the cameras are off. During the break they say things diametrically opposed to what they say when cameras are on. Amazing. I just wonder why he never points that out on camera.

7. Tweety does the same.

He is a shill for the Bush Regime because his paycheck depends on it.
