What do you think of David Schuster?
He was just on MSNBC expressing the outrage to be generated because Hill was in Indiana talking to a race car driver and had a car metaphor about having a D and an R and everyone knows we don't need to go in (R)everse. Of course this was a giant screwup because racecars have sequential gearboxes (no D or R). So of course the question is: How will this slipup affect tonight's contest?

(Just my paraphrasing)

I'm no Hillary fan, but that's some weak shit. Discuss...

36. Oh, I know it
Morris will be talking and it looks like his mouth, for no good reason, one side or the other will just fall open.

Schuster looks like when he is talking he is trying to do a personal halatosis test and doesn't want to be noticed.

43. Your last sentence is hilarious. Guess we've all done that from time to time.
And Dan Abrams lips are square! He sticks them out when he's talking and actually makes
a box. Drives me crazy!!

45. Pat Buchannon....
when he is not talking has this look on his face like some person waiting in line at the Drivers License Office that just pulled the number stub #663 and they just called #14 up for testing.

2. He's still upset he got called on his previous Chelsea bullshit
reporting so he's 'showing us' what a tough guy he is. He drank the MSNBC Obama koolaide.

fault that he said something wrong.

Thought I'd throw some meat for the Clinton supporters, and give everyone a chance to pile on another daytime teevee news tool.

his contempt for the Clintons.

8. He was suspended for 2 weeks for saying Chelsea was being
"pimped" out.

So one could deduce he is a tad biased

10. Race fans are very knowledgable about race cars
Just like hunters are very knowledgable about hunting firearms.

You ahve to get your talking points right if you're attempting to appeal to a group on their level because they'll know if you're just blowing steam.

He's a prince.
One of the rare decent and smart, serious journalists on TV. Imagine how hard it must be for a person like that to work in that environment. I look forward to seeing his next career move.

Edited on Tue May-06-08 04:01 PM by Seabiscuit
sure he has all kinds of crap to spew. Shuster is just one of many on MSNBC that have a Hate Hillary hat on these days and frankly its disgusting. I think there must be some Hate Hillary water going around MSNBC's offices these days, I don't fault just him for the dumb comments.

15. Schuster is a very good straight reporter. He's clear, concise & factual.
and yeah, I know, Hillary supporters hate his guts because he picked a bad word and they tried to get him fired, but only got him suspended.

That does not detract from his reporter skills, which are excellent.

19. You are aware that Hillary made it clear to the head honchos
at MSNBC that she did not want Shuster fired and she was quoted in the paper as saying such? She asked for an apology which he offered publically. MSNBC chose the suspension just like they did with Imus who was ultimately fired

25. His hatred of Hillary seeps over into his reporting on a daily basis.
He has tried to hold it in check since his suspension over the Chelsea Clinton remark. But, you can still tell. I used to like him a lot and thought he was quite fair until it came to this primary season.

27. He gets his talking points from upper management. (GE)
It's just more crap to consume time. Don't focus on the real issues folks, let's concentrate on Bittney or the Lohan tramp.

Ignore the real abuse, the real crimes, the dead troops...we have more important things to worry about. And did you see Barack's TIE YESTERDAY? OMG!! It was so ugly!!! Could a man with such poor taste make a good President?

And what about Clinton? Did you know she had a sip of beer last week? Can America survive with an alcoholic in the White House? (Ignoring the current occupant, of course.)

Let's talk about something really important...for a change... :eyes:

34. my opinion
I think David does great analysis. He has a keen insightful and well informed take on things.

I do cringe when he ventures into ad libbed humor. His sense of humor is creepy in a not enjoyable way.

I think hes a very good political reporter otherwise.

40. I wasn't directing anything at you.
Your post did set me off a bit, because that's one of my pet peeves with the M$M today. They censor what we are told, they provide "facts" that aren't facts at all, and they allow statements that aren't true to stand, instead of saying, "Wait a minute, Vice President Cheney. That isn't true at all. Here's video of you back in 200X where you stated just the opposite. Let's run the footage and then let you comment on it..."

I want to pull my hair out when that happens.

42. He's a bright man, writes his own stuff
But his delivery is not ready for prime time.

I like his insight, and have to look beyond his voice.

I don't care if he has three eyes and two noses, I care about the content.

NOW, as far as content goes, he spends too much time on the sensational, but offers thoughtful commentary.

How's THAT?
