Meet the Presstitute Russert

[malaise]

Oh the games people play.

[babylonsister]

1. Just came on here, harrassing about Wright. This whole hour

had better not be about that...:grr:

[jaxx]

2. It's a good interview for Obama.

He holds his own all the way!

[babylonsister]

4. Good to hear; thanks! nt

[malaise]

5. Only if he asks about Hagee, Robertson and

fat Jerry

[DAGDA56]

3. Stay with it...about 20 minutes in, they move on the the gas tax fantasy,

...and no mention of Rev the rest of the program.

[Coexist]

7. 20 minutes in? Are you serious?

they spend 20 minutes on Wright?

[DAGDA56]

8. Yep...at least Obama can say "I covered that on Meet the Press"

if he's ever asked about the Rev again.

[KharmaTrain]

6. Is Arianna Gonna Be On This Morning?

No? That's a shocker :sarcasm:

I wonder if Timmeh will bring in his buddy from Pat Robertson's network...surely another "unbiased" pundit.

I hear Nat Geo is showing sharks attacks...and the sharks are a lot smarter and better to look at than Timmeh.

:hi:

[Jack Rabbit]

17. It sounds like Russert is proving Arianna's point.

He's one of the reasons I killed my TV set years ago, when all the media whores could talk about was Monica Lewinsky.

9. Ironically, the last CSPAN WJ segment covered this:

The 50 most influential US political pundits
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/1904702/The-50-most-influential-US-political-pundits.html

...and of course Russert was high on the list for his critical questions, etc Bull. Shit.

Airing clips of one speech, then one several months later, asking, "what happened during those months?" ...knowing full well that it's because - sadly - this is how the selling and spinning of political personas is done via the M$M.

[malaise]

10. It would be funny if it wasn't so dishonest

Sadly Russert actually thinks he's a great journalist and not just a stupid fucking enabler of the right.

[Echo In Light]

11. I know. I was hoping to switch this on and NOT find this to be the leading topic

On a more + note, however, aside from the handful of typical haters supporting Rush, Hannity and Coulter, most of the CSPAN segments covering American punditry were very critical of our system overall, the unfortunate reliance on punditry over objective reporting, and quite disdainful of the fact that so many rabid rightists {or their megaphone mouth-pieces, anyway} made it to the top of the list.

[malaise]

12. Good to hear n/t

[billybob537]

13. After the Whitehouse

endorsed Timmeh as their preferred mouthpiece why would anyone take him seriously?

[Ishoutandscream2]

14. "Meet the Presstitute." I really like that, lol!

nt

[malaise]

18. All yours

:D

[johnfunk]

15. Tim Russert, dean of the DC Village Idiot Box Press Corpse...

Now that's journalism...

[WA98296]

16. Presstitute...LOL, love it.

[malaise]

19. I think it's perfect for that fat face

right wing enabler.
