You know, I'm really getting sick of Keith devoting half his show to politics

[ThomWV]

And I don't even mean political issues, I mean the first half hour just goes to cover the dirt, the polls, the opinions. Its just horse shit and its becoming tiring horse shit.

1. He's always devoted large sections of the show to politics.

What's different now? The "dirt" is part of the process, unfortunately.

[ThomWV]

2. One gets the impression that dirt is all there is, that there is no substance to either candidate

It wastes our time and informs us not one whitt.

6. The dirt is what's in the news.

Spare some of the anger for the people slinging the mud.

9. What's different is that it used to be all about Dems versus GOP

Now it's all how awful Hillary is and how saintly Obama is.

3. Really????

:crazy:

4. And I don't like the Brittney Spears and American Idol segments. nt

5. I agree

I quit watching him two months ago because of it. Shit I can watch the same crap all day on cnn or msrnc with the same stupid ass pundits if I wanted this torture. :puke:

[Bumblebee]

7. Today, for the first time, I turned him off after 2 minutes, realizing that

the first 30 minutes will be all Hillary bashing. He used to talk to all of us -- now he talks exclusively to Obama supporters. He is also about to attack Jon Stewart for making a joke about Obama... It wasn't a great joke but give me a break. This is Jon Stewart, not Rush or Billo.

13. Me too, Bumblebee.

I've been pretty sporadic in watching him lately because of his bias, but don't think I've changed channels quite so fast as tonight. Now watching Top Gear on BBCA--much better jokes, and haven't heard a political jab yet.

[Bumblebee]

14. Good plan!

8. I hear ya about Keith.....

I used to kind of like him but I think he seems be sort of morphing into a "liberal Rush Limbaugh" type with such a biased spin on the daily events. Maybe I'm getting too moderate in my old age,lol. As for today's twist on the Obama pic, I really think it is better that stuff like that comes out before he becomes the candidate because you know the repubs are going to pull everything out of the woodwork and we gotta know the worst now because giving another republican the chance to steal the presidency. Not that I think the pic is all that bad but Obama seemed pretty bent out of shape about it.

11. Welcome to DU!

:hi: :hi: :hi:

[IowaGirl]

15. Why thank you!!!

"Hi" back at ya!!!

[Catshrink]

10. Better than half to the celebutants.

Too much Brittany, Paris, and who's the other one? It's good to hear the progressive side of the story rather than the usual MSM crap.

[latebloomer]

12. Yep, it's becoming wearisome

Doesn't feel all that different from the other political shows-- it gets boring hearing about every quarrel, every poll, what's gonna happen next week. I miss the old Keith.

[LWolf]

16. Perhaps it's time to quit watching?

:shrug:

Of course, I have such a low tolerance for any kind of talk show that my advice is probably not the best, lol.
