About Tweety....

It would seem every time Chris gets his "republican" on, his ratings start to slip. I know I cannot and will not watch him with his very biased repub talking points. However, when he does notice the slippage of his ratings (and he is on two different times) he seems to get his head on straight. I'm wondering if we just ignore and turn him off for a few weeks if he'll come back to reality. I always feel so good after watching Martin and the Rev. Al..Tweety just deflates me. Perhaps "Management" plays a big part on this, I'm not sure.

Here is the key point, the less he is watched the better he gets, so quit watching him entirely. 1-Old-Man May 2013 #2

That's got to deflate his ego when people are calling for his head, whether figuratively or literally.

He seems to have a more right-wing opinion when he is on Morning Joe versus when he is with Rachael or Lawrence.

This story he keeps pushing is a good way for him to kiss the ass of right wingers.

canceling his satelite radio service because he was so
disgruntled with Ed....he seemed, to my Ex anyway, to
not hold true to Democratic Party stances. I could
understand that at the time. I miss Ed on the weekdays.
I like his down home approach.....better than all the wonk
of Hayes and Rachel.

like a real life drama. Light bulbs would turn on for him slowly.
It was most interesting to listen to Ed shed those Republican clothes and take on his new mantle.
Now he is one of the most liberal of all and one of the few that really backs labor issues.
