Why do all these bimbos (male and female) on the TV act as if they are the ultimate
authority on what is good for the American people? Obama is selecting insiders...Oh... is that the change we were promised? Tell me Mr. Republicon, what do you think about Obama, Clinton, Daschel, etc. etc. etc.
Just ranting, I don't have to watch and I do turn it off when it gets well above my tolerance level.
But now at least every time I see Andrea Mitchell I remember Stephen Colbert during his roast: "Alan Greenspan is here, and we're in the middle of a once-in-a-century financial meltdown, so of course the question everyone is asking is, How did Alan Greenspan land Andrea Mitchell? Seriously. Keep kissing him, Andrea, he's going to turn into a prince one of these days."

1. The question is: Why does anyone listen to them?
It could be you and me doing a tv 'news' show. It could be Joe the Plumber. It could be my gardener. Just because they're on the tv, doesn't mean they know squat.

But, I'll tell you, my hubby used to do radio interviews on cars. He called himself a 'car expert' and so everyone assumed he was a car expert and they hung on his every word. He told me, all you have to do is say you are the expert, and you are!

3. If President Elect Obama had brought in entirely new people, the same corporate media puppets

would be ragging him about their inexperience with the way Washington works.

I seriously doubt President Obama after taking office will get a six month honeymoon from them, this from the same crowd that gave Bush a honeymoon from almost two years before the selection of 2000 to just about seven years after-wards.

They think that buys them an opinion.

5. Some people who say they are experts are know nothings
and some people who are know nothings are experts.

Enough said this is the MSM talking heads.
