So, is KO not good enough to be a Hardball Hotshot?

[Wetzelbill]

Or is he just not dumb enough to be lumped in with Rita Cosby, Joe Scarborough, Tucker Carlson and Tweety?

Seriously, that panel is beyond worthless and grossly unbalanced. It's just so typical of the Librul media to be so biased. :eyes:

1. He's better than that.

I don't think Keith is willing to play "liberal view," since he really tries to keep his stories balanced. Besides, MSRNC would be nuts to pull his show on Fridays - especially with the Loofah King attacks going on.

Keith's a treasure - and at least SOMEONE over there knows it!

[Wetzelbill]

2. well since you are shilling for Rita nowadays

maybe I should just discount your opinions? :)

Yeah, I don't think he is willing to play the "Liberal" view. It isn't his style to be a self-serving whore who is in love with the sound of his own voice. I find the people who live to go on all the different shows and regurgitate the same BS over and over to be pompous and irresponsible. Keith just isn't like that.

[RevCheesehead]

3. "shilling for Rita??"

LIES! ALL LIES! :spank:

Damn you, Botany!!! :grr:

I don't think Keith is interested so much in opinions, as he is in accuracy in reporting. He asks questions, and (here's the unique part) he lets his guests answer. He'll let others pontificate, and simply focuses on the news. And sometimes, he discovers gold that other, sloppy journalists have missed.

[Wetzelbill]

4. Letting people answer... that is so

quaint isn't it? :)

[RevCheesehead]

5. It is in Tweety's world. n/t

[gkhouston]

10. what's even more amazing

is that Keith's followup questions indicate that he actually listens while letting people answer... he doesn't just wander off to his Happy Place while someone else is droning on and on. ;-)

6. KO tries to keep his political views to himself...

he does'nt even vote.



:hi: KO, we know you would never vote for the idiot-in-chief!

[Wetzelbill]

7. He doesn't vote?

that's interesting. I heard Jim Lehrer hasn't voted in 45 years. Those guys are pros. They keep their opinions about ideology and so on to themselves and do some serious reporting.

8. The reason KO is not on Hardball Hotshots is simple.

Scarborough, Carlson and Cosby got the gig as a sop to the fact that their shows were canceled for the time being on Friday nights so that MSNBC could run prison documentaries instead, in the hopes of getting better ratings with them.

KO's show was not taken off; hence, he doesn't get to be a Hotshot.

Scarborough must've been unable to do it this past week, though, as they dragged Craig Crawford in there to replace him. Now THAT was a shock. A Hotshot who isn't 100% conservative idiot. I just about died from amazement.

[Wetzelbill]

9. Craig Crawford is a lot of fun

I like that guy. :)

[crispini]

11. And those prison documentaries are a RIOT, aren't they?

Honestly, I watched about 10 minutes of one and that was all I could stomach. So over-the-top with the music and the production and so very very appealing to the "COPS" viewer in us all. Not that I myself don't watch "COPS" every now and again but last I checked MSNBC was supposed to be a NEWS network. :eyes:

[gkhouston]

12. well, you've seen 9 minutes and 55 seconds more of them

than I have. And calling MSNBC a "news" network is almost as comical as saying that Fox News is "fair and balanced".

[crispini]

13. Hey, off topic, ya gonna be a delegate to the TX State Convention

this year? I've already offered Wolvie a bunk and you could stay too! :bounce:

[gkhouston]

14. Nah. Latest update I got from

Mr. Steering Committee is that he needs to go to Florida then... or was it Austin? After a while, you stop keeping track. :eyes:

[crispini]

15. Dang, girl, you gotta get out and get on the road sometime!

We need to have a big Texas DU meetup somewhere. :D

[gkhouston]

16. well, if they shift weeks (which sometimes happens but don't

cross your fingers), I'll see if I can come up to the convention even if don't come as a delegate. I'm still trying to decide if I want to support Chris Bell again in the primary.

[crispini]

17. Heeeeeeeeeyyyy! Party in cowtown with the girls!

I haven't made up my mind who I'm gonna go for in the gubernatorial race. Hell, I have enough trouble with all of the local judicials calling me up and hassling me! But that's the kind of trouble I like. :D
