Why does the Republican Right get DiGenova on CNN, and we...

[DeepModem Mom]

get no spokesperson on this panel? None.

I actually think the panel is not bad today -- except for that jerk.


On edit, at least Wolf is now pointing out that he has served under Republican administrations.

1. whatyoutalkingabout deepmodemmom? That's how they work

[SoCalDem]

2. Exactly.. the left is rarely represented..and if it is, it's by a person

who seems to have a speech impediment, speaks slowly(and gets interrupted constantly), someone who is out of mainstream-looking,etc..
They know all the tricks and use them constantly.. The "right" will be represented by a Brooks Brother type or a prefectly coiffed blonde bimbette, and the person they get to represent the left is someone that no one knows and often is a disheveled academic-type who is loathe to interrupt...or a D in name only who willingly piles on with the repubes..

3. At least David Ensor (CNN reporter) gave Joe the smack-down.

But you're absolutely right... it's shameful that no liberal pundit-type is on to counteract Poisonous Crackpot Joe.

4. It's the standard "republicans and reporters as substitutes for liberals"

television panel.

[ohio_liberal]

5. Toobin is very neutral

at least today. :shrug:

[merbex]

6. Because the Reagan Administartion and a willing Congress did away

with The Fairness Doctrine

Democrats should advocate reinstating it

[bluedawg12]

merbex- yup and led to the rise of right wing hate radio

something like 500 stations sprung up after Raygun passed that bit of shit law. That led to Limpags and others.


The radicalrightwing has played this nation for suckers for 30 years or more.

7. LOL!!! DiGenova is absolutely Hysterical He is so MAD!!!

This man is livid

Mad at the CIA Mad at Aschcroft Mad at Fitzgerald!!!

They are going to down sooo bad!!!

This man is hillarious!!!

He just came out and said this is the WORST situation the Republicans!!!

Ya Degenova he's yelling about NO CONFfidentiality signature that Wilson signed after the Niger trip!!!

And incompetence of the CIA!!!

Confidentiality signing is holding up Sibel Edmunds!!! and what this does is allow crimes to be commited in secret!!!

[Roxy66]

12. We all laugh...but, an elderly lady in smalltown America who does

not follow the delailed news the way we do...may think he speaks the truth....because they call him an analyst

[lovuian]

13. Well the insight to me is that the Republicans know they are in

deep doo doo!!! For him to get HYSTERICAL!!! and he is hysterical!!!

[WCGreen]

16. That lady in small town America is probably not glues to

her TV set today....

Most people are just going to see High Level White House Official indicted....

[Pithy Cherub]

8. CNN is allowing all of this pre-spin

which is amazing. It may be (ok hope) that the Dems are waiting until the facts emerge and then they are going to really be firm and lay out a bush administration smackdown. That was the thought anyway. :freak:

Think how many Dems voted Aye on IWR that are not feeling too good right now.

[Roxy66]

9. I am outraged by this......wtf!! Get his ass off the air...

He's not an analyst

[Miss Chybil]

10. How does he get off saying Joe Wilson outed his own wife

by writing the op-ed piece and nobody calls him on it? Bob Novak outed Valerie Plame after he was told who she was by Scooter Libby. Joe Wilson wrote his op-ed in response to that betrayal. Period.

[NNN0LHI]

11. Thats who they were told to put on n/t

[Rose Siding]

14. Write them! I did -here's a link

This has to be stopped in its tracks!

I sent:
Re: Panel discussing indictment "breaking news"

Your panel includes several reporters and the partisan Joe DiGenova, so you are short a representative of the left. In order to discuss this topic objectively, you might consider adding a Paul Begala, David Corn or Sidney Blumenthal.

[Rose Siding]

15. I would have added some Dem lawyers' names to the list...

but so many of them are at work, having to defend GOP crooks :rofl:
