Let's Send Tim Russert & NBC News A Note!

"Do you have a question, concern or comment for Meet the Press or Tim Russert? Fill in the form and send us your feedback. We look forward to hearing from you."

My note:

Does Karl Rove have photos of Tim Russert naked with a barnyard animal? Tim's pro-administration bias is getting to the point of slavishness. Can't you find someone to do this show with at least a little bit of impartiality? He's starting to make Bill O'Reilly look like Walter Cronkite.

1. you can send a more effective note simply by not watching. When numbers

drop they know something is askew.

10. I would like to think you're right on this, bumblebee, but I'm not

sure.

NBC News is the propaganda wing of that old reliable merchant of death General Electric, who "brings good things to life" and right-wing politicians into the White House.

What do the ratings matter as long as they get their message out?

If the Pigman's program was part of the entertainment division, then ratings would certainly matter, especially since corporate profits would be at stake.

But the Sunday morning news shows, which used to be a public service, are not held to such standards, especially now that they are a public disservice, churning out propaganda for the Project for the New American Century and the Bush Crime Family.

4. And here's mine!

With the Bush Administration butt-kissing Tim Russert does on his show, I almost thought I was watching that hack Bill O'Reilly on FOX! Is it just not possible to find someone in this great Country of ours a bit more balanced and obviously less of an unapologetic cheerleader for Bush and the GOP?

6. Oh!

And I've stopped watching Russert ages ago. It's always fun to write the letters, though. And, yes, it's VERY cathartic!

5. I've sent so many notes to them

and not once have I gotten a response. Not even an automated one. In fact, it was surprising that they had Murtha on alone today, they are normally scared to have a guy like that on, at least not alone. Usually there are three repubs to every one Democratic Party member. But good luck with your notes. I rarely watch that show anymore.

7. Did you ever think of turning it off?

Russert has been campaigning for Rove for 7 years now. Even the stoopidest people in Texas should have figured out that writing to MSRNC isn't going to do any good.

"We're Dems, we spend several hours a day on 'enemy recon' and then complain to each other about it"

9. I actually haven't watched Russert in years

As a matter of fact , the only TV news I watch any more is Keith O.

But I read a lot about Tim here, and I thought the 'send a note'
thing would be fun.

11. But but but...his DAD!!!!

You'd think that Russert was the only guy in America who had a father. The difference between his and everyone else's is that his father never farted, cursed, was irrationally angry at the family, looked at another gal, played poker drunkenly...

A real sanctimonious fellow - wonder if he was 150 pounds overweight on national TV. Imagine, excepting Candy Crowley, if he were female. He'd be delivering donuts to the set...maybe.
