On July 25, Face the Nation will host Wall Street Journal columnist John Fund, who has pushed phony allegations that the Justice Department engaged in racially charged corruption in the New Black Panther Party case. Fund has a long history of pushing trumped up and made up charges against Democrats and progressives.

Fund to appear on panel including GOP critic of conservatives pushing NBPP phony scandal. On July 25, Face the Nation is hosting Fund along with Abigail Thernstrom -- the Republican vice chairwoman of the Civil Rights Commission who has strongly criticized the decision of the commission to investigate the New Black Panther Party case; Georgetown University professor Michael Eric Dyson; Princeton University professor Cornel West; and Washington Post columnist Michael Gerson.

Conservatives attacked Schieffer for not questioning Holder about trumped-up charges about New Black Panther Party case. Conservatives, including posters on discredited activist Andrew Breitbart's BigJournalism.com, the Fox Nation, and Bernie Goldberg, repeatedly attacked Schieffer for interviewing Attorney General Eric Holder on the July 11 edition of his show, but not asking Holder about the phony allegations about the New Black Panther Party case.

Because of!!!

That's why I haven't watched them much for many years now. They're usually very slanted toward right wing views.

Just say no!

The Sunday Bullshit contests, i.e. Face the Nation, Meet the Press, etc. used to enrage me so much I'd be yelling at the TV. That's when my daughter strongly encouraged me to join DU.

I don't have TV anymore but if I did, for my own health I'd steer clear.

But thanks for your courage for the rest of us :thumbsup:
