I am so sick and tired of weak ass television "journalists." I just watched a pathetic Kate Snow

interview Katrina Pierson on MSNBC, and it was infuriating. Snow allowed Pierson to spew lie after lie after lie about Don the Con and HRC without challenging even one of them. Snow's questions were asinine--she kept asking Pierson if Don the Con "would act differently with world leaders than he does in his stump speech." What?!? All it did was give Pierson endless openings to spew shit about "the $400M Iranian hostage deal, those fucking e-mails, and of course, Benghazi, Benghazi, Benghazi."

If you wonder how this country ended up with the clusterfuck that is the Don the Con presidential campaign, look no further than this pathetic excuse for an interview. I'm completely fed up.

useless prompter reading hacks who have 0 integrity. All they care about is getting their blow dried asses on camera and getting that undeserved big fat paycheck. Fuck all these people.

They often read well, but it's not like earning a degree in "communications" is considered difficult. Lots of college athletes choose that option!

On Pierson until she is interviewed by Joy Reid - or Dan Rather - or Keith Olbermann.

Maybe the ghost of Cronkite or Murrow - but other than that - nope.


She's one of the shiny happy smiley people so they aren't going to touch her. And if you really listen to Pierson you realize she is an extremely unintelligent individual.

So maybe a lot of the 'talking heads' don't want to pick on the dummy girl?

Example Maddow - she's nice. She really is. She knows how intelligent she is. She knows when to lay off.


Reid, Rather, Olbermann don't know how very intelligent they are so they won't hold back. They'll assume she's at their level and then lay into her from there.


Sorry for the Rather and Olbermann references but we need them back NOW!!!!! Joy Reid can't do this alone!

They have got some new chick on in the AM, she has a crooked mouth and is real snarky. She performs strictly for herself. Like she is auditioning for a comedy show. You will recognize her as soon as you see her. Oh I miss my Toure, Crystal Ball, Big Eddie, Bashir, Olbermann, Ari, MHP, Cenk, even little Rowan Farrow...better than this Andy Lack crappola.

Thre are plenty of gender-neutral terms to use with these cretins. If you think I'm being "too PC", please remember, as Don the Con so horrifically demonstrated yesterday, words matter. Thanks!
