The best interviews come from reporters with differing viewpoints than the candidate. I hate watching Fox interviews with GOP candidates and I hate watching NBC or MSNBC interviews with DNC candidates. It's just a softball fawn fest.

Palin doesn't need help to look like an idiot




sorry couldn't resist

[Marx]

Exactly chamber.

[chaseter]

HAHA but lets be fair here...I dislike Palin but either Katie wanted to ask tough questions or she wanted to make her look terrible. It's one of those two. It's the same for Bill. I would guess the former on both.

I used to hate Bill O'Reilly but then i saw Beck and Hannity, and thought "you ain't too bad bill o'reilly"

[chaseter]

Bill and Maddow are pretty good people although Bill says some dumb things sometimes...like the tides crap. Olbermann, Shultz, Matthews, Hannity, Beck, and Greta need to go away.

Also makes fun of Jon Kyl saying 90% of Planned Parenthood is abortions, getting called on it when it's actually 3%, and Kyl saying, "It wasn't planned to be a factual statement" lol.

Greta better not go anywhere, she is the only one that knows what the hell she is talking about when it comes to the law, that is on at night...she has also been the hardest hitting pundit on Obamacare....and I think probably the only one that has actually read the whole thing...

[chaseter]

Greta on tour with the Palins made me barf.

[Kelly]

I didn't see that, I watched when she was railing on the writing of the Obamacare legislation. If Palin is mentioned, I just turn the channel.

[chaseter]

She went on the road with the Palins during the 08 election for like an entire week of shows. I see Greta as more of an political entertainment reporter. She does all the light stuff and she loooovvvees Palin.

[Kelly]

She promotes women politicians....I have noticed that, and since most Democratic women except for Claire McCaskill lol won't come on Fox, she doesn't get to do much with women democrats....thing is, during the 08 campaign, Palin was the money maker for television....she got the viewers, not so much now....but back then, she was certainly the main topic everywhere.

FOX NEWS TIES STUDENT'S SUICIDE TO PRESIDENT OBAMA'S VISIT TO CAMPUS?

[The Squirrel]

Um, not really. They just said it coincided with the trip (which it did) and that it was tragic (which suicides are). I mean, it could have been worded better.

[Marx]

In any case, they should've known better.

And yet she polutes the airwaves by obsessive over stories that absolutely do not need to have that ammount of attention for hours instead of reporting on anything that the public needs to know about. She feeds into a sense of moral superiority by picking someone who did something bad that effected a relatively small number of people and makes them out to be the worst person in the world and spends far too long harping about how they fail at life. She may know a lot about the law but she is an aweful journalist.

[Kelly]

We differ in opinion...

Um, she isn't a journalist, so I guess its ok that she's not very good at it.

How exactly is,

"So, what do you read?" a tough question?

There were some tough questions there and Palin responded by saying she'd get back to her with an e-mail. But Palin also drowned on the softballs too, which is what voters remembered a month or so later.

I'd agree with Olbermann and (especially) Shultz in this comparison, but I don't think Matthews or Greta are as bad as Hannity or Beck....albeit, Beck is on his own level of slimy, opportunistic bat**** crazy. The others are just partisan hacks for the most part.

UPDATE: GLENN BACK CALLS MIKE HUCKABEE A 'PROGRESSIVE'
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/0..._n_852102.html

...further proof that Glenn Beck is a moron.

[Kelly]

Well, I can actually agree with that....Bush was a Progressive as well.....there really isn't much difference in Huckabee and Bush. Huckabee spent the hell out of Arkansas, Bush spent the hell out of the US...Huckabee would have done EXACTLY the same thing that Bush did...

[Marx]

Mike Huckabee is the same man that said the US Constitution should reflect God's standards...and not those of the american people. He is far from a 'progressive'.
