I listened to the Morning Talking Heads.. and the result is...

[Peacetrain]

Garbage..

If you listen to Meet the Press, Stephanopulus, etc, what you come away with is this hyperventilating commentary.

My guess is the main street America, the middle grounders are as sick of it as we are.

You cannot go around like the little boy who yelled wolf, and keep peoples attention.

I bet TV's will be clicking off by the millions.

1. They were always garbage, weren't they? Big money shills, that's all. nt

[Peacetrain]

6. Acrually it has gotten worse..

Whether they are supporting our side or the other.. it is like a 'twitter' analysis, that ends up being completely contradictory from minute to minute

[valerief]

8. Oh, you're listening for logic. They only toss out pre-approved sound bites.

That's what big money pays them to do.

[Peacetrain]

10. Good Point

[KakistocracyHater]

24. infotainment only, weather is the 1 reason I look at

tv & only briefly-there is no news & I stopped watching for good when what passes for the press let W do his (((the weapons inspectors BS...))), my jaw just dropped as I listened to the deadly silence. Only for tv shows & the weather.

[skooooo]

2. Is that the famous...

Obese Train that Cat Stevens sang about (your avatar)?

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. I stopped watching years ago.

[Bozita]

4. The Sunday AM talking heads are done talking. Now, what's Dick Cheney doing on my tee vee screen?

[Peacetrain]

7. What bad thing did you do??

don't do it again.. or the cheney will get you :rofl:

[Bozita]

12. He's still there.

Help!

[Peacetrain]

13. Hang in there...Time to call a Priest for an exorcism of CNN

:hide:

[patrice]

5. Millionaires telling us what to think and do? = Corporate+Military Socialism.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

9. I used to look forward to the Sunday morning talkers. I can barely take it now.

[Hamlette]

17. me too, I never missed a program

I think part of it is I can get my daily fix of politics on the web which is faster and less painful. Plus, for 8 years they lied to us and covered up for Bush. And for 8 years before that, all the talked about was how bad Clinton is.

I wonder if the country does stay dem for awhile, if we'll get a couple of KO or rachel type shows on Sunday morning.

[VeraAgnes]

11. Nothing but GOP crybabies!

No plan,no effort to help America, ever. I browsed thru thr TV guide to see if they were worth recording while I'm at work today. zippo-nothing but GOP crybabies!

I suggest a Sunday boycott of these GOP minions!

[Peacetrain]

14. They don't seem to get it.. we had 8 years of hyperventilating by the Bush people

and the American people made a choice for some calm analysis.. GOP caterwauling does not appeal to most of Americans..

[polichick]

15. Heck, people are likely to get less propaganda going to church these days...

...than listening to the Sunday morning "news" programs.

[nradisic]

16. Look at all the ratings...

Are there more people watching? No. No one believes the MSM or the GOP...Asshats.

[otohara]

18. David Gregory Is Awful

he talks way too fast and only when a democrat is the guest does he play an aggressive, finger pointing (literally shaking his finger) game of "gotcha".

He was down right rude to Ms. Romer today, while letting the Whip Boy go on and on and on as if the past 8 years never happened.

[Top Cat]

19. He will never be able to walk in Tim's shoes.. I really miss Tim he was always fair.

[Born_A_Truman]

22. I was just watching MTP repeat on MSNBC

and thinking the same exact thing. Gregory was rushing his questions and was like a dog with a bone on the "fundamentals of the economy" remark by McCain during the GE versus Obama's remarks. Wouldn't let it go. It was like he wanted to say "Gotcha!" but Ms. Romer wouldn't give it to him. Don't know if I can stomach the round table coming up.

[grantcart]

20. Nobody is listening to it. Sometimes we give people too little credit sometimes too much.

The people are gaining a general impression and couldn't care about the details.


The impression they are getting now? Obama is the only cat doing anything coherent. Everyone else is just BS.

[Still Sensible]

21. About the only people that watch those shows are

hyper-partisans anyway. It really doesn't matter unless someone makes perceived news with a quote or something that goes mainstream. It's sort of like Rush's audience. Those folks in his shrinking audience buy into his bullshit, but he doesn't get any traction with the general public. It took a long time, but the moderates have finally seen through the faux outrage and fear mongering.

[BlooInBloo]

23. (facepalm) I skipped right over your word "Morning"....

And thought you were dissing one of the great acts in alternative rock history.

:rofl:

[Peacetrain]

25. Well not so much rock history Bloo as just plain old rocks

:hi:
