Aren't there any DEMOCRATIC pundits? Why is it two to one Repukes to Dems

[renie408]

on every 'news' show I see? Hell, on Diane Rehm today they had one guy from Politico and two Republicans on to discuss Sarah Palin. What the hell? How is that unbiased? Is there such a thing as unbiased any more?

1. Was it on NPR?

I predict that if we have a Democratic presidency, US House and US Senate for the next few years, then NPR will gradually swing left from where it is now.

2. I noted this BEFORE the DNC started ...

the Sunday before the convention I noted on both MSNBC and CNN they had at BEST a 2 repukes to 1 D ratio - at the DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION, and what few Ds they had on were the passive take shiite types.

I noted then that I was SURE they would flip the ratio for this week, right?

Larry King spent all last week with ALL Rs, with his thing about opposition voices or whatever, and promised to turn the table this week. Last night, he has two Ds and two Rs, and said it was because of Gustav.

4. And half of them are black.

It seems like half of the so called republican strategists are black. The RNC must have something to do with it, like they are trying to imply that republicans are acceptable to African Americans.

5. Corporate loves the GOP

because they've been able to progress toward monopoly without all those pesky antitrust laws getting in their way.

GOPs favor corporations over people. Until the news monopolies are destroyed, we won't see any opposition voices, only nodding heads.

7. Bingo. We have a winner.

6. Potential Dem pundits aren't getting the supplemental income deals from...

...books, speaking engagements, talk show retainers, etc that keeps them 'punditing'. I think there winds up being a certain amount of attrition.
