What I'm noticing on Washington Journal
the host lets the wingnuts go on and on, not bothering to challenge them on their lies and name calling. he seems to relish in hearing Obama referred to as a "monkey"

also, when Barnes, Gillespie, et al are on, only Republican calls get thru -- Republican callers agreeing with the 8 years of disastrous Bush policies.

1. I know,
I've also noticed that when a Democrat does get on, the host will interrupt the caller with an obtuse question, ie; what do you do in your home town, etc. to try and throw him/her off track.

I noticed they didn't even take calls for Gillespie.

I have mixed feelings about this. Sometime it pisses me off, sometimes I think C-SPAN has a wicked sense of humor allowing those fools to blather on.

WJ is certainly is a roller coaster ride in the early morning, but somehow I find myself awake at 5:00/a watching it.:shrug:

2. Unbelievable that he would not end the call immediately when callers refer to Obama as 'monkey!'

3. It's just another Fascist Friday on Washington Journal, Cat. They've been doing it for 20yrs.
They aren't going to stop now.
