Hey, if David Gergen is talking I’m there with my notepad.

LOL!

Touche for skewering the touchy!

You got there first, pb . . . it’s the voice that gets me.

It is that rare combination of deep and whiny. And everything he has to say seems so brownish-gray in tone.

Hey, doesn’t anybody like my cardboard cutout interview idea?? I’m laughing all over myself??

I loved Chris Wallace this morning, be sure to catch the re-run!

I got to the party late, but I do love your idea. Shop it around to Greg Gutfield and/or Glenn Beck. They are the only two that would probably be interested. I don’t see the rest of them that interested in having fun at Obama’s expense. SNL just can’t bring themselves out of the closet! They have just cracked the door a tiny bit.

With that kind of product line, it doesn’t hurt to have the White House contributing to the marketing campaign, especially for free. That’s why the White House campaign is ill-advised, and why it backfires on them.

Definitely a candidate for Obamatuerism of the day.

As a captive audience, I watch CNN in airports and other places. I heard a black lady say to a guy “I wonder what FOX would say about this?”.

Notice that this boring CNN report never considered the overall absence themes which might be interesting or valuable to an audience that has a need to understand both the promise and pitfalls of a very radical and inept gang in the government. Note to the media: “how are these guys screwing up/screwed up?” might be more germaine to journalism than fact checking SNL. You know, pretend The One is Richard Nixon.

FOX is not that unfair with The One. Just because they were not secretely disappointed that He did not make the latest group which Pope Benedict moved toward Sainthood doesn’t mean that they are a Republican attack pulpit. If they were, the running letters at the bottom of the screen would be asking over and over, whay are we talikg about healthcare with unemployment at 9.7%, the total deficit numbers, how long will Rangel be protected by the Dems, still waiting for a decision on Afghan strategy after 75 days…

Fox News twists facts and stories in the guise of “News” to promote the Republican Party.

Could you please provide an example?

Fox News is a Yellow Journalism organization that is little more than a 24 hour Republican infomercial.

Could you please provide an example?

They blatantly
do not report on any news story negative to the Republican Party.

Could you please provide an example?

It doesn’t work. But it’s clearly their strategy.

They could do it.

And yes, I’m selfish in that I want Obama’s head to split when it debuts.

Hey a-hole,

Which network actually did a ‘fact-check’ on an SNL skit that was only mildly funny about Obama?

You people are complete ivory-tower goofballs.

Palin/Chris Wallace 2012

I bet they figured they’d be doing better by now as His One-ness would be kicking some serious booty by now and all would be peaches and cream and no one would feel they needed to watch Fox News.

Also, they didn’t count on Glenn Beck’s success.

Makes me chuckle. One of the best FOX news moments ever was when Sean Hannity brought out the Ayers book that had the Sirhan Sirhan dedictation, and the look on Pat Goodells face… priceless.

Heh. As we say in the South, Wynn had Gov Granholm “batting her eyes like a frog in a hailstorm”.

d1carter on October 11, 2009 at 2:39 PM

I thought I saw smoke coming out of Granhom’s ears. That was the best smack down evah!

If Barry can’t handle that, he should hitch up his skirt and get off the stage.

No. With the exception of MSNBC, those networks are News networks. They are not a bought and sold arm of the Democratic Party. Fox News twists facts and stories in the guise of “News” to promote the Republican Party. Those networks, with the exception of MSNBC, do not actively lie and twist facts to promote the Democratic Party.

Decider on October 11, 2009 at 8:39 PM

Did you get dropped on your head as a baby?

The problem that NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, and MSNBC have is that they lie to support their political positions.

Freddy on October 11, 2009 at 6:52 PM

In a nut shell! Nail on head! Perfect!

Let’s see: We have ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, CNBC, and MSNBC all leaning liberal. You have the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. The three biggest newspapers all leaning liberal. One lonely television network, FOX, leans conservative. Yet, the Whitehouse complains about an unfair media.

Right: Fox News, talk radio

And somehow in the minds of the diseased liberal mind, Obama’s not getting fair media coverage. Yeah that makes sense.

It’s not clear as to whether this minister was governmental or religious in nature, so I did a quick search. Here’s a link to the story.

I wish I could say unbelievable, but apparently these days it’s all too believable.
