39. Bob Schieffer and the rest of the pseudo-centrist, phony, corporate media mainstreaming Fox "News"

....propaganda are the real villains destroying America, not Claire McCaskill. Replacing her in the Senate with Todd Akin would NOT be an improvement.

I don't think that the headline "Senator Claire McCaskill DISTANCES HERSELF From Obama, Senate Democrats" is an accurate summary of the interview at all, and totally ignores the trust of her replies, which was overwhelmingly SUPPORT of the President.

A more truthful headline for the interview would be "Pseudo-centrist GOP Troll Bob Schieffer and CBS Shamelessly Peddle GOP Propaganda".

We need a higher profile for full-throated truth-tellers like Warren and Sanders, but those who think getting rid of Clair McCaskill would help are naive.
