1. Can't take that show. It is CW with a giant capital C!

[babylonsister]

2. Huh? Not my impression. Eleanor Clift is good.

CW?

3. Conventional Wisdom. Ultimate media.

Ms. Clift is the one notable exception, and even she is total CW, through and through.

4. Not really. I like her for this....

5. Well, she's always been a progressive.....I agree,

but I still see her as part of the old guard....possibly because she appears with so many of them on that show, which I just don't care for due to the shouting and the cynicism that prevails over there as the majority opinion in reference to Democratic ideals, most of the time.

6. I pay attention to Eleanor Clift. Here's her last, about Sen. Kennedy.

I like her for a lot of reasons, and have the ability to not agree with her.

8. He embraces reality unlike some of his guests.nt

[omega minimo]

9. well there's that

Well put tho, cuz he does-- sometimes he surprises b/c his POV is not predictable politically when it involves a grounding in reality.
