Surfing the channels this morning

and briefly stopped at CNN just long enough to watch Candy Crowly or whatever her name is show so much disrespect toward
David Axlerod..She would ask a question and immediately interrupt him...It appeared she was reading from some right wing script quoting phony stats about Obama accomplishments,etc..It was sickening...

Never did care to watch her narrow mindless interviews because she is such a Repuke shill...

..It appears to me the Repukes scripts have been distributed and the right wing cable hosts obviously have theirs well rehearsed.

2. CROWLEY has been a wingnut operative for years, is hot for Haley BARBOUR among many

But ABC was particularly This WEAK with Ricky SANTORUM, HUCKABEE, and COULTERgest, while only Van JONES was hanging around "for balance" as they say. Why are those three wingnutcases significant to hear from (not really a question).

spewing r-w nutjob talking points, and the next one I flipped to had Anne Coulter babbling away. These were over the air channels. I just turned it off. No wonder so many Americans are misinformed--look what they get fed by the tube.

6. If you have cable, go to MSNBC on Sat. and Sun. 8-10 am (EDT) for Up with Chris Hayes!

The best weekend political discussion show on the air! Incredibly smart, fresh minds.

Today Chris et al talked about Wisconsin. Wonderful analysis from everyone at the table, including John Nichols who provided his excellent first-hand account of what REALLY happened in WI. You can see that segment when it is up on Chris Hayes' show website on msnbc.com

9. Yet we hear there is a liberal bias in the news????

What we need is the Anti-FOX. A network which is as unashamedly liberal as FOX is conservative.

Actually, I want real news. News which covers the issues, tells the truth, and gives both sides of the issue.

But, could you imagine the Conservatives if there was a real liberal network?
