Naive me, when Bowtie Boy was on MSNBC I thought he was normally decent. He was always gushing on his producer Willie GEIST, who now seems "decent" compared to Joe SCABS and Mika MOUSE. Then he was released to fulfill his total Wingnut self. Back when, when DRUDGE blew the Sid BLUMENTHAL fake story about wife-beating, it was BowTieBoy's daddy Richard(?) who was the source.

BEGALA articulates my suspicion of Jon STEWART. I stopped trusting him. [View all] UTUSN Nov 2015 OP

When you know better, you do better Shankapotomus Nov 2015 #1

I'm always blanked-out by blanked-out posts. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #5

Begala waas Tucker Carlson's enabler Kelvin Mace Nov 2015 #2

Me naive, too. (Who knows, I have no idea what this means.) n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #4

Back in 2004 Kelvin Mace Nov 2015 #40

Uh, I'm fully aware of Jon/Crossfire. Was this whole thread a parallel universe?!1 n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #44

Agreed. And wasn't that Tucker Carlson's show as much as Begala's? brush Nov 2015 #31

I remember Begala saying damned little during the interview Kelvin Mace Nov 2015 #35

Actually, went back Kelvin Mace Nov 2015 #42

Crossfire was a symptom Android3.14 Nov 2015 #3

Let's see: "a symptom" of what? BEGALA ashamed about what? I'm sincerely asking. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #7

The show was a joke and such for several reasons Android3.14 Nov 2015 #9

Well, I wasn't an obsessive viewer. I detest contentiousness where nobody will ever be convinced UTUSN Nov 2015 #12

O-kaaaaay Android3.14 Nov 2015 #56

Paul Begala is a clown melman Nov 2015 #6

Oh. O.K. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #8

Just like Michael Kinsley or Alan Colmes, Begala was chosen for that job because he was BAD at it melman Nov 2015 #46

Begala wrong - Stewart right. Shows where people sit and scream over each other NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #10

So now we have whole networks screaming out *just* one side. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #13

Agreed - which is why I've not watched TV in 7 years. It serves no one well, but misinforms NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #15

Let's see: BEGALA/CARVILLE/Tweety. Noboy on the wingnut side of things?!1 UTUSN Nov 2015 #17

the entire other side - which I mentioned in my previous response. What is your point, anyway? NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #18

I stated my point in the O.P. Am puzzled by all the flak (kneejerk about Jon?). UTUSN Nov 2015 #23

Yeah, I distinctly remembered Stewart being quite obsequious with O'Reilly, then kysrsoze Nov 2015 #48

ty UTUSN Nov 2015 #50

Articulates by blowing up his own argument? jeff47 Nov 2015 #11

Or whole networks taking just ONE side? n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #14

Uh...that's what Begala is advocating - more partisanship. That would mean more one-sided networks. jeff47 Nov 2015 #16

I think he is being obtuse on purpose - or doesn't even understand the point he is trying to make. NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #19

Really nice of you. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #24

thank you. NRaleighLiberal Nov 2015 #25

O.K. so the Balkinization of networks instead of personal confrontations. UTUSN Nov 2015 #20

Because it gets ratings. jeff47 Nov 2015 #21

Third Way Begala and centrist Jon--I come down on Jon's side because Jon was incredibly merrily Nov 2015 #22

I loved it when he was bashing wingnuts, which was most of the time. No doubt about talented/funny UTUSN Nov 2015 #28

Hmmm... Who To Trust... Paul Begala, Or Jon Stewart... WillyT Nov 2015 #26

I would trust the Democratic hack over a pal of O'LOOFAH's but see the self-promotion aspect. n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #29

I Have No Idea What That Means... WillyT Nov 2015 #43

How could somebody so authoritative about everything *not* know?!1 You asked a question, UTUSN Nov 2015 #45

Crossfire wasn't his show. It was Robert Novak's show. It was despicable. Zen Democrat Nov 2015 #27

Despicable? Well, 2 opposite sides clashing are at least clear. Gladiators. nt1 UTUSN Nov 2015 #30

Two centrist hacks and two right wing nuts yelling at each other is not "clashing" tularetom Nov 2015 #34

Well, both of them are very much on the air & I haven't seen either ever, so it's up to you not to. UTUSN Nov 2015 #38

I don't have cable or satellite anymore tularetom Nov 2015 #49

I remember when Carlson lost a bet and was supposed to eat his shoe, and Hillary brought a shoe Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #32

Yip, F**ker CARLSON and his likewise scum father Richard(?) UTUSN Nov 2015 #36

I never like Carleson and Novak. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #39

Me too neither, because we're both beautiful Dem/Libs!1 n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #41

Jon Stewart rightly called out the bullshit pandering of the media Matariki Nov 2015 #33

What's not to get? What's his thing about getting along with hateful enemies who USE you? n/t UTUSN Nov 2015 #37

In that case Stewart is again right Shankapotomus Nov 2015 #54

Saying we need more partisanship is just silly mythology Nov 2015 #47

who asked for " more"? u urself said polarized to the max. why deny UTUSN Nov 2015 #51

Republican *politicians* invariably say "Democrat party" Fumesucker Nov 2015 #52

Well, Sherman A1 Nov 2015 #53

The "Rally to Restore Sanity" was a sideshow. joshcryer Nov 2015 #55

Paul who? Orrex Nov 2015 #57
