MSNBC Scarborough Country
Pat Buchanan just did a paid advertisment in the disguise of an interview with John O'Neil(sic)

It was the most bias and one sided presentation of this crap that I have ever seen.

For the first half he let O'Neil have his way, and the second half he had 3 people to argue the point including the jailbird Ted Sampling.

What can we do about this kind of crap which masks itself as journalism?

2. Don't watch!
If nobody watches and his ratings go down the tube, he'll be gone.

I purposly don't put him on because the cable co. has the ability to sww, at least in the agregate, what's being viewed. I won't contribute to his score.

8. I saw part of that... had to turn it off...
This is still going to backfire big time. I don't see it doing more than just flaming entrenched voters on both sides. I really don't think people will fall for this 'Willie Horton' routine. I could be wrong, but I just don't hear any of my right wingers harping on this.
