(13,390 posts)I posted something about Candy Crowley before the second debate that essentially gave her the benefit of the doubt. It was littered with a barrage of insults and claims that she is a RW tool. And yet most agree she did a pretty good job. The problem here is the narrow- minded assumption that the media is against us. And, of course it is the same assumption that is made by RWers.
I think part of the problem is that people accept and expect the journalists to facilitate and participate in a semantic WWF rather than moderate. Anger rules the airwaves and the uglier it gets the more the public - Democrat, republicans, etc.. responds. It's really very embarrassing that people look for "smack downs" to come from journalists.
I haven't seen MTP for awhile because I sleep too late for it. So I have no comment on that. I get most of my news from reading and turn CNN on occasionally. MSNBC to soothe myself from time to time.
