I don't normally watch any TV, but my friend talked me into it, wanted to show off her TiVo, etc, so I dragged the kid over. The kid played with her dogs and I watched.
So questions: who was that lady with the face like a rat? Sorry, I really don't mean to be insulting I just didn't catch her name but she had a slightly bitchy attitude and five minutes into it I could tell she was a bush supporter. Are "journalists" nowdays really this transparent?
And as for Tweety, I take it back what I said earlier here on DU. I said he needs a wedgie that has to be surgically removed. What I want to add to that is that *I* now want to administer said wedgie. COULD HE ACTUALLY ASK AN INTELLIGENT QUESTION? COULD HE ACTUALLY HAVE MORE THAN THREE FREAKING QUESTIONS??????
What was that shit about anti-war, pro-war stuff he was asking MacAliffe about? (And then Franken?) Terry kept saying we are being pro supporting the troops, you break it, you fix it, but Tweety just kept pushing it. I wanted to slap him, really.
All in all, I thought the MSNBC coverage wasn't TOO bad. Just remove Rat Girl with a bitchy attitude and Tweety and it wouldn't have been bad at all. The story on Kerry and the Vietnam War, I thought, was VERY good. It showed him in quite an impressive light, I thought.
Damn, I swear those talking heads on TV are stoopid. Anyone one of you guys on DU could have done a better job by FAR than them.
So that's all from TV land. I'll now go happily back into newspaper and internet land where I am not bothered by people who ask the same three stupid questions over and over and people who wear a big shit-eating grin while asking things like "BUT BUSH IS SOMEONE PEOPLE WANT TO HAVE A BEER WITH....IS KERRY???"
Oh my GAWD what a PRESSING NATIONAL FREAKING CONCERN.
Seriously, if THIS is the level of discourse we are at, God help us.
One more thing: I USED to be a TV watcher, a few years back. Regular news, cable news, the whole nine yards. After not seeing it for quite some time, it looks even more absurd than ever. If you want to see if I am correct about that, do an experiment.....go on a TV blackout (all news/talking heads/political shows) for a few months. The more the better. I realize now probably isn't the time for you to, but seriously. Then watch it again. You'll be....blown away at how stupid it looks and sounds.
