Hardball is making me sick to my stomach tonight
Is anyone else watching this ridiculous obscenity?

Matthews is once again trashing Dan Rather, and hectoring his guests to agree that 'if this story had been about Kerry, it would have received much more scrutiny'.

Really? Three words, asshat: Swift Boat Vets (whom you, Matthews, allowed a forum on your program to spew their lies).

He then finished with a smarmy comment about how the networks would have to relocate to Kansas City in order to 'speak to' the red states (as though they're the only states that matter!).

Another clue, asshat: the city of Kansas City overwhelmingly voted for John Kerry - about 75% to 25%. What an ignorant bastard he is.

1. Turn it off. Set down the remote control and back away from the TV.
You may turn the TV back on at 8pm when Olbermann takes the stage. Until then--do NOT watch Tweety. He has been found to be very dangerous to the mental health of DU'ers!

4. Say it again, LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!
For the life of me, I cannot believe anyone smart enough to frequent DU is still watching those slags on cable news.

What is WRONG with you people?

Why not just take a couple of sharpened pencils and jam them into your ears? Or your eyes?

The effect will be more enlightening, I promise you that, and probably less upsetting.

8. Since I've permanently
Edited on Mon Jan-10-05 07:43 PM by jrthin
tuned out cablenews I've noticed several things: my heart is no longer in my throat; my heart rate has stabalized, and that nervous twitch thing my eye did stopped.

I highly recommend tuning these idiots out, they only serve to lessen the quality of one's state of mind.

11. He really doesn't go left enough to represent the left side.
He's more a conservative Democrat to right-wing nut. That leaves a whole half of the American population that goes unrepresented on his show.

5. I just shut it off
My head was in danger of exploding. I want to see Granholm, but damn, that was the height of hypocrisy.

Things are not good when I'm lining up behind Zell for my turn at the duel.

9. They promo'd a Special Report at 9 pm est with Tweety, on Memogate.
I believe it mentioned CBS' "false reports".

Clearly a lot of this is NBC pissing on CBS to spread around the stench of flaming pickup trucks. Or was it Pintos?

But that, and Tweety go too far. As far as I know, none of the FACTS of Rather's report have been disproved.

And the documents themselves, while of questionable origin, have not been shown to be forgeries, despite the fact that every ill-informed talking head on tv today has called them that.

What uninformed journalists!
