David Gregory Reveals His McCain Bias AGAIN On The Issue of the BailOut

[McCamy Taylor]

I was watching MSNBC. First a McCain spokesman came on, said McCain objects to the bailout on ideological grounds. Gregory let the spokesman have her say, did not interrupt, nodded his head and seemed fine with her answer.

Then he has an Obama spokesman come out. First, he said "We just had an Obama spokesman explain why he objects to the bailout...."

The Obama spokesman corrected Gregory, then went on to explain how Obama had analyzed the situation after talking to political analysts. He agreed that the nation was in a financial crisis but does not agree with the lack of oversight. He gave a detailed list of Obama's problems with the bailout.

Gregory then attacked Obama's questions, asking if it was appropriate for him to question the administration's solution to the nation's financial problems at a time of national crisis.

I kid you not.

14. Wow, that explains a lot.

"Beth A. Wilkinson is Fannie Mae's executive vice president - general counsel and corporate secretary. She reports directly to the chief executive officer. Wilkinson has oversight and management responsibility for all legal issues, strategies, services and resources. Additionally, she serves as the business-oriented, senior legal advisor (sic) to the board of directors, chief executive officer, and members of the senior management team."

3. Oh Lord.

We're back to "DON'T CRITICIZE BUSH OR YOU'RE A TERRORIST SYMPATHIZER" status, it seems.

4. I can't even look at either David Gregory or "Joey the Scar" on TV ...

My set wouldn't last. They are world class right-wing horse's asses. Why even bother watching that shit?

12. Joe Scar sounded reasonable this morning

He was jumping on the anti-McCain economy bandwagon and seemed in favor of Congress taking their time to sort out the details on this bailout.

6. Gregory was cheerleading for the bailout...

...and engaging in fearmongering.

I've been a bit on the fence about him until today. The fearmongering turned my stomach.

What is General Electric's stake in this bailout, anyway?

13. YES it's damn appropraite for Obama to question King George

and it's appropriate for me to question him as well. In a national crisis in which the King created he should now get to do whatever he wants, screw democracy.
