Well that was priceless!! Rachel had Howard Fineman on her show to discuss
Sharon Angle v Harry Reid. Rachel went on about all that Angle has said and done (Flouride is communistic, drinking should be illegal....and more). She then asked Fineman if Harry Reid has any reason to worry about loosing his seat now. Fineman said OH YEAH - with the anti-incumbent mood in the country, Reid should be worried. He is an insider after all. Fineman went on and on.

Rachel then proceded with her show and her next segment was about how this whole anti-incumbent mood is just a made up story from the media - and followed that statement with facts, as Rachel always does. She went over a long list of incumbents that are winning all over the country, and how they far outnumber the incumbents that have been kicked out.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

I hope Howie saw the rest of her show.

I LOVE Rachel!!

2. I know - Fineman and Tweety both need to retire. They are all about sensationalism rather then
facts.

8. I think they stopped practicing real journalism because they

refuse to challenge the media itself. The stories become pile ons, with no real investigative work. It is lazy. Rachel is not lazy, she actually does her research.

9. Rachel is in a class all her own. You can just tell that she lives for finding out the facts.
That's why I love her show so much - you can see it in her face and hear it in her voice that she can't wait to tell us what she learned each day.

4. Fineman was saying some really stupid shit last night too
It was so dumb that I blocked the exact words out of my head, but it was something pretty much the opposite of reality in any case.

5. Having a show of such high caliber that Howard Fineman willingly shows up to
Discuss issues, amazing.

Having the intelligence and spunk to call him on his nonsense - PRICELESS!

11. I can't believe Fineman is still around. I still remember him on
the (then) McNeill/Leherer Newshour (about 25 years ago) saying that abortion would never become a political issue! lol. At least he disappeared from that show, but people are still putting him on to pontificate? Everyone in my neighborhood is more savvy than him.

The problem though is that even if the corporate media claims that there is an anti-incumbent mood are hype, the hype can become self-fulfilling if Democrats assume we will lose and don't bother to vote. We are in trouble because our side shows no passion compared to the other side.
