I am ACTUALLY watching face the nation.

[pangaia]

Just turned it on..I NEVER, EVER watch sunday shows. I go to the gym.
Where one of the TV's, in the eve, has that guy with the white 5 o'clock shadow and glasses holding a piece of white paper because he doesn't know what to do with his hands.. Wolf, that's his name Wolf Blitzer.. What kind of a name is that. Wolff??

I have 2 very close friends in Toronto--American citizens who have lived there for 35 years-- both in their early 70's , active, creative, sharp as tacks, artists, gourmet cooks, and as liberal as one gets... like me...They watch the sunday shows most weeks... just to 'stay in touch' . they last about 20 minutes having b'fast in bed, then give up. :&gt ))

OK FTN---
Some guy wrote a book about the 2013 election.. Schieffer plugged it.
Watch Peggy Noonan's eyes. her head and nose go UP, and her eyes go down and flutter, flutter.. a very clear psychological tell.
Just turned to Inside Washington local PBS--- EEIi The Kraut is on... He forgot his tie.

Back to FTN----
look at Noonan's eyes again.. Schieffer smiling at her.. other guys laughing..

Schieffer just gave his-- I don't know.. personal statement about his first interview job.. duh!! And.. and what? Stupid absolutely stupid.


I mean what the fuck is this stuff? Do people actually watch this? It's like..like... I don't know.. dancing with the Stars ( I confess I have seen a few 20 second snippets of that)

The utter stupidity, shallowness, emptiness of this 'entertainment' is horrifying..
Baseball this afternoon.. minor league... something real.. See y'all.

1. It's horrible. I'd rather watch "Locked Up".

Except on the very rare occasion that they have a real progressive on.

2. Do kidnappers have you tied to a chair in front of the TV?

3. HUH?

Did you read my post through?
I just said I never watch that stuff(or TV almost at all). but turned it on this am.. for some unknown reason, and commented on what I saw.
And my disbelief at it all...

Do one has me tied to a chair...

4. And you've come here to tell us how stupid we are for watching Sunday opinion shows?

Thanks for the input....

8. I meant no offense toward you.

I did not do what you day I did. Or certainly that was not my intent.
I find a generally high level of intelligence, awareness and knowledge here at DU, which is why I come here to learn what is what.

5. Watching Noonan and Krauthammer

This is a standard punishment for people who have not done violent crimes, but have nonetheless exhibited a dangerous tendency to do so at some point in the future.

6. The MIC is a major sponsor of those shows

which explains the conservative tilt.

7. People watch this stuff,...and then go to church.

9. It's more for the older crowd that don't use the internet imo
