Nancy Pelosi slammed Katy Tur just now.

47. I find Chris Jansing much worse

She may just be a victim of producers' prerogatives, but her show is less NEWS (new items to report) than it is constant repetition of what's reflected in polls (Biden's old, INFLATION, INFLATION, INFLATION, crime). Of course these polls simply report the perceptions held largely by an oblivious population that unwittingly repeats narratives that began as fox new chyron.

She once had pollster Cornell Belcher on and he is very good at warning that polls are merely snapshots that give campaigns information on where they need to work. Jansing went on and on questioning Biden's chances given all this INFLATION. Belcher then informed her that in 1984 Reagan who had been given a slim chance at reelection given the recession that cast a pall over his first term came out with his Morning in America ads and went on to win in a landslide. Then know-nothing Jansing challenged the pollster with "but you can't tell people how they feel."

I was livid. Her contention was way out of line. Of course you can tell people how they feel. Fox News does it very well. Telling people how they feel is the job of propaganda. She's a complete and utter idiot that repeats Andrea Mitchellesque sayings for no reason. But I still turn her on in the morning. I guess I like to have something to complain about.
