Meet the Press...hosted by Republican WHORE Tom Brokaw
WTF? Did anyone else see the first 30 minutes of Meet the Press today? Corzine was left twiddling his thumbs at the end of the segment while Brokaw served up a "softball" question to the Repuke on the discussion panel.

No firm or strong follow-up questions.

Focus on McCain to the exclusion of Obama.

Minimizing Obama's record or debate performances by quoting David Brooks (Repuke).

WTF? Get the asshole Repuke Brokaw out of there and replace him with a journalist worthy of Russert's reputation.

1. I don't get why people watch that show
and then come and complain about it.

It'sbeen garbage for years- and it'll remain garbage next year, too.

5. You know why? BECAUSE the are
millions of americans that watches this show. And is up to us to hold them accountable. DU doesn't have to tune in and give them ratings but Americans will continue to watch it. So, our job is to contact Meet the Press adn give Brokaw some fire for not being fair. It is our job to watch and if see what is happening to day to report it and give them HELL.

We must hold that freaking ass Brakaw and NBC accountable.

Let's contact them right now.

Phone numbers and e-mails please.

10. You think that's going to make a difference to those fools?
And no, millions of people don't watch that show. Please.

I'd say of every friend, acquaintance and colleague I know not one single person I know bothers with it.

2. Has Brokaw always been this way?
For some reason, my sense of him had always been that he was pretty fair and unbiased, but I admit I wasn't looking at him through the current filters.

4. He certainly wasn't fair and balanced when he INSISTED that Keith and Chris be pulled from events.
Brokaw "liasoned" with the McCain campaign after they bitched about Keith and Chris. So, McCain campaign complains about unfavorable coverage (i.e., truth about their shit) and Brokaw kneels at their lap. That suggests that he is more interested in currying favor with the Repukes than being a fair journalist. He capitulated in the face of bullying behavior by the McCain campaign rather than being a honest and resolute journalist.

Fuck him.

7. Since his days of cheerleading and running cover for Reagan
So it's getting close to 30 years now he's been like that.

20. He was bought out in the early 90's. I wouldn't be surprised if I heard
it was earlier. He is Jack Welsh product. He is one of many prime examples of people who earned a degree in Journalism and practiced it for a portion of his career. I also wouldn't be surprsed if I heard that he was bought out leterally. He is one of the wastes of this Party.

3. I bet that Brokaw wouldn't quote Brooks saying that Palin is a fatal cancer.
Brokaw is just a joke to me at this point.

15. Reminds me of Thurston Howell III from..
Gilligan's Island, and I have seen him juiced up on the tv screen. It's quite the memorable sight.

12. Brokaw quoting Broder - doesn't prioritizing mean choosing?
They both say Obama did not choose among his agenda -

14. Follow-up Panel: Gigot (Repuke), Koppel (Asshole), some other guy (?) & CNBC financial lady (??)
Where's the liberal pundit representation to offset Gigot or Koppel???

It's time to flood NBC with complaint letters about Brokaw and his WHORING for the Repukes/corporate overlords.

16. Rachel Maddow would be perfect in
that spot. We know where she stands on Repub v. Dem but she would be very good because she is a real reporter and not a butt-kisser. She would be fair to everyone.

18. She would clean Brokaw's clock, so you won't be seeing her on MTP anytime soon.
Until Brokaw is FIRED or gone, we won't see this show be anything but a Repuke talking point hour.

17. He had the nerve to ask if they could name "even one" proposal
Obama had named in the last 30 days to help the economy. Unbelievable!!!!
