4. Joan's unsure about political donations, wants more info about the KO thing.
The whole thing lasted less than 2 minutes.

I almost regret posting the OP.

8. How come is it that the Dem/Liberal always...
has to be the adult in the room?

Walsh was the most sensible in all of this discussion - she admitted she needed more information before she'd make a concrete observation, while pointing out that there is no comparison between one commentator give a pol money to that of an entire news organization.

Then, later when the story was discussed about the Obama 200 million a day trip to India, she again was the adult in the room and had to do Kurtzs' job when the Townhall goof tried to hand the ball off by saying it was okay for Hannity to spread that lie because he is just a commentator (she replied people like Hannity still have an obligation to the truth).

Still though, I'd love to see these Dems push the moderator around and demand they make the other host tell the truth and not obfuscate the truth.

5. Ugh...Howard Kurtz Thinks KO Should Apologize
he already wrote a column about it over at the DailyBeast!

Does anybody give a shit what Howard Kurtz thinks?
I'm so disgusted with cable's nauseating and overkill coverage of worthless candidates who were never going to win, ie; Christine O'Donnell, and the Nazi reenactment guy.

We've got problems and they seek out the worst candidates and obsess 24/7.

6. Didn't see it but I can sum it up
Joan Walsh started to say something that made sense.

Howard Kurtz interrupted her with a cheap shot at Olbermann.

Kurtz then said "We'll have to leave it there" and went to break.

7. We Will Have to Leave It There...
Edited on Sun Nov-07-10 12:31 PM by winstars

Remember when Jon Stewart (when we liked him here) did that great montage of every CNN host(?) saying: "Well, we will have to leave it there" and Stewart screaming "BUT IT"S A 24 HOUR NEWS CHANNEL!!!!
