So I decided to watch the talk shows this Sunday morning.

[Cali_Democrat]

Big mistake. I almost never watched these shows, but I decided to subject myself to the torture.

I watched Meet The Press.

Here's what I got when watching the panel of 'experts' which included Andrea Mitchell and some conservative who writes for the Wall Street Journal:

- It's basically Obama's fault the plane was shot down over Ukraine.

- Obama is weak when it comes to foreign policy and so is all of Western Europe.

- We need to exploit our energy supplies at home to get back at Putin (see fracking).

- The 2016 GOP field is so deep that Dems should be worried. All they have is Hillary.

- Chris Christie is teh awesome and bridge-gate is no big deal.

That's why I don't watch that shit. No wonder why Meet The Press ratings are crashing.

1. Obama needs to go kick Grenada's Ass again. That'll fix them damn polls. nt

[randys1]

2. Yeah, seems america needs to get poorer and needs much more pain, elect republican senate

impeach obama and i will sit back and watch it on tv with my last few dollars, laughing while the entire country goes to shit

when righty has to work 12 hours a day to afford a whopper, and he will, he will beg us to save him, it will be too late then you dumbshit asshole rightwing morons...

not to mention the certainty of the worse than 2008 financial meltdown we will have in 2016

[n2doc]

9. He won't beg us to save him

He has been brainwashed to believe all his problems are due to immigrants, democrats and liberals. Even if all three were wiped off the face of the Earth, he would still believe they caused all his problems.

13. You're on to something there

I keep getting letters claiming ACORN rigged the 2012 election.

[Journeyman]

3. Thanks for the summary. . .

Except for the names and a few other changes, you could be talking about the last time I watched those wasted hours, back in 1980 or so. Nothing's changed, that's for sure, and won't until many, many more stop watching.

[lpbk2713]

4. I stopped wasting my time on them long ago.

And I used to watch 60 Minutes reluctantly until the Logan spectacle took to the air.
I used to record it but gave up on it and haven't seen a minute of it since.

[LibGranny]

5. +1 on all counts

[conservaphobe]

6. The ratings are crashing because all the people who believe that phony shit

are at church.

[Jamaal510]

12. I wonder if

McMuffin and Graham ever go to church.

[LSparkle]

7. This Week was worse ...

Why ABC allows Jonathan Karl (Darth Cheney's go-to guy) to continue to create intro packages for this show is beyond me. He belongs at Faux News.

[Cali_Democrat]

15. Oh I have no doubt

The Sunday talk shows are basically places where you can find all the latest GOP talking points.

[bluedigger]

8. You should have seen Mo Roca's tribute to Reagan on CBS This Morning.

I got a little sick in my throat and changed the channel - fast!

[LSparkle]

10. Maybe I haven't kept up with him enough but ... Mo Rocca feting Ray-Gun?

The only person who keeps me from absolutely hating Ray-Gun is Ron Reagan Jr. -- the fact that Gipper apparently allowed his son to grow up as unemcumbered by his own beliefs.

[bluedigger]

11. Mo's dead to me now.

I guess we know why he left The Daily Show...

[greatauntoftriplets]

16. I found Ray-goons supposedly funny one liners to be duds.

Why did they subject us to that?

[bluedigger]

17. It kind of came out of nowhere, didn't it?

Maybe there was some anniversary that I didn't stay tuned in to find out about.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. They didn't mention any occasion.

The death anniversary was early June. I only remember it because my uncle died the next day.

[spanone]

21. reagan addressed nation after the russians shot a plane out of the sky. they want to make Obama....

look weak cause he hasn't. ronnie is god to gop.

[greatauntoftriplets]

22. Yes, that's true.

Probably had it in the can and decided to haul it out today.

[Populist_Prole]

14. You sure are a patient sort

I can't even sit in someone's living room for a minute and a half if they have MSM cable news on. It's such spoon fed crap. I can always tell if someone is a MSM news bot by the fact that most are unread apathetic numbskulls and then they suddenly speak like they're informed, as they spew forth "newspeak" word salad. They only fool each other.

You should have waited a day though. Today, those people will say the president is a weak feckless weenie. Tomorrow he'll be an over reaching dictator about to enslave all of white gun owning Amurka. It'll alternate like that, as it has, as long as he's in office.

[RobertEarl]

19. RT is probably better

The US media is owned by corporations. The only honest thing they do is sell soap. Everything after that is just lubing the people for a good screwing.

[spanone]

20. it's so much horse manure. the media is owned by huge corporations. watch who sponsors those shows.

the chemical companies and the oil companies that are killing us. they have no interest in any prospect of fairness.

fairness doesn't play into their bottom line.
