He sides with the Republicans but he likes the pitched battle and division. Yeah, it's all a game to him but he's also thin skinned when someone points out his bias. I remember him claiming his job is very important because he forms public opinions on the issues. Without him being in his high and mighty privileged spot we wouldn't be able to understand stuff. He has to tell us what to think.

the rest of the hacks like him are _perfect_ for what passes as "journalism" these days.

He's thin skinned just like the majority of the politicians he covers.

This is all a game...a bloodsport to them. Egos reign supreme and the corporate stenographers like Chuckie are tools of that inbred society. He's more interested in being a "player"...getting that big "scoop" or showing how "smart" he is. It's all horseshit smothered in "conventional wisdom" as he regularly shows not only how shallow his knowledge of events and history is but his own right wing leanings that have become real obvious this election year. He's hoping for a horse race as it means he gets more face time and gets the invites to all the big drinkie drinkie parties.

I watch him long enough to push the channel button. NBC and MSNBC are almost as bad as FOX in the daytime. From Mourning Joe and the Toady show, until about 3:00pm EDT, I totally tune them out. Republican ass kissers like Toady Todd would make the founding fathers hurl.
