35. Just curious...

Are there ever any Democrats who can defend the administration's policy of "Lets not rush off to another fucking war unless we have no other recourse?"

Seriously, Obama's poll numbers really do rise & fall due in large part on how the Sunday talk shows do their coverage...Obama lost 5% points when all 3 networks had nothing but the architects of the 2003 Iraq war on talking about how bad Obama's decision to leave Iraq was when yes he campaigned on getting out of Iraq but that deal was done before he was ever elected but none of that was ever mentioned!!!

These Sunday talk shows, CBS included, are no better than FOX "News' if they are only going to present one side...Because Journalist in this country are like the cops in this country they have completely lost all sense of what their true job description is suppose to be...Instead they (Journalist not cops) do the easiest possible thing & pretend to act neutral even when they know one side is lying or is dead wrong.

OH Yeah, If the above was suppose to be an example of a journalist challenging right wing talking points then we really are FUCKED!! She let him run his mouth the entire 3 minute video clip...NO CHALLENGE AT ALL!! Seriously, WTF? What did I miss? Or are we simply comparing how the other host cheer on the GOP while she simply let him speak uninterrupted?

SAD.
