1. Hillary has the power to destroy the media!
Tell me again why we DON'T want someone like that to take on the Republicans.

--p!

23. Our Beloved MSM? Attacked?
Dear MSNBC? The people who let Kerry get Swiftboated night after Night?
who jeered at Al gore, praised GWB, and destroyed Howard Dean's candicacy,

Hillary actually stood up to them?

HOW DARE SHE!!!!

3. This is my take on it
I remember watching Richardson speaking out against the Bush and how he forewarned them about terrorist attacks before 9/11. I remember Richardson getting absolutely DESTROYED by the media b/c the Bush whitehouse was pushing their talking points onto them. The only person who really took a stand against it was Keith Olbermann and I have liked him ever since. He was the only one with the courage not to Spin. I absolutely hated how Bush controlled the media.

Now Shuster's choice of "pimping out" was a bad choice of words to use, I'll admit that much. However, I think its dangerous to try to control the media and spin them. I would rather have journalists being critical and speaking out, it makes for a more honest and open society. I don't want to hear just "spin" from politicians.

4. Another hysterical post with no evidence
Is this an example of 'Hope' or perhaps this is 'Inspiration?'

7. I have to agree that attacking the media will only hurt her (and us) in the future.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Hillary will be MORE of the same.
Closed door meetings, intimidation and abuse of power. Just like Boy Bush had daddy issues, the Clintons will seek revenge for the past


Joe Walsh: Turn to Stone
Backyard people and they work all day
Tired of the speeches
And the way the reasons they keep changin'...
Just to make the Words Rhyme...

And you know its getting stronger,
Can't fake 'em out much longer
Turn to stone

11. First it's protecting Chelsea, next protecting Bill (if not already), then herself and her power.
Where does it end? With a lockstep media stepping to Hillary's tune?

17. Are OPs no longer required to have content?
Perhaps you could indicate when your OPs are nothing more than a subject line, to spare us opening them.

18. Bad form
Edited on Sat Feb-09-08 04:05 AM by psychopomp
not just in the OP, but coming from almost every post on the thread. This whole thread needs to be roundfiled.

Mr. Schuster's on-air comment is indefensible and he should have known better than to bomb like that, which is a shame. Hubris or foolishness, I don't know, but it should not have been said.

Now back to the positive!



:bounce: GObama! :bounce:

22. Oh - poor David Shuster
said something absolutely indefensible and like the rest of the people in the workforce had to accept consequences for stupid actions. Poor guy and damn that Hillary for getting upset and being called a pimp and by definition got her daughter called a whore. I mean, who does she think she is anyway - a mother??!! So fucking what. The press should be able to say any disgusting thing they want and we are to just lap it up like puppies and allow them to treat women like shit. Why shouldn't the other men in the backround laugh? Damn Hillary for getting upset at a network that now has two jounalists who have had to apologize for being sexist pigs. And it's also HER fault that Obama gets the golden glove treatment.

The hypocrisy on this web site has gotten surreal. If Shuster had said anything like this about Mrs. Obama, the place would have exploded. Anyone who says that Hillary has gotten the same kind of treatment at Senator Obama is outright lying.

For the record, have no problem with the suspension (like children, if you don't punish bad behavior, they'll just do it again) but don't think it should last very long - 2 weeks works for me. I also heard his apology. The first one was a joke and a non-apology apology - the kind that used to make this place steaming mad. However, I think the one last night was more than sufficient.
