1. Rahm Emanuel on MTP
As much as Gregory leaves a shitty taste in my mouth, I don't want to miss this interview.

2. I just watched it.
Gregory was so mad he was emotional about Geithner. Getting in all his digs about the crap the pubs are spouting. Emanuel cool as a cucumber.

4. I used to faithfully watch the ABC news show
because I enjoyed the mix of Sam and Cokie and George Will. Then little Georgie took over. I can't stand it anymore.

6. Yes. They have forsaken deep issue topics for discussions trapped in false framing.
There isn't anything to be learned from watching them anymore.

7. I always liked seeing Sam Donaldson yell at presidents
on the White House lawn. Even if he was obnoxious and they ignored him. ABC silenced him and there hasn't been another WH reporter who has the balls to do that since.

14. I have low expectations for any kind of network news programs
I always assume that they are just opportunities for politicians to state their talking points while the "reporters" nod and smile.

If they're otherwise, I'm pleasantly surprised.

That being said, if you just want something interesting and informative to watch, CBS Sunday Morning often has interesting feature stories.
