MSNBC all repug's Tweety, Buchanan, Andrea, Tucker and Gergen.
The place looks and sounds like Faux. Seems like they got the talking points about the CIA leak and how to spin it, directly from the republicans. Why no democrats on the panel?

Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 03:15 PM by Reciprocity
A: Democrats sent talking points but they are not being addressed?
B: No democrats want to be on the program?
C: Tweety's choice?
D: Network's choice?
E Tweety's delusional and thinks the panel is balanced?

6. I beg to differ - I heard - Libby being squeezed, Rove not out of danger
Edited on Fri Oct-28-05 03:18 PM by emulatorloo
Fitz not done yet (fitz history to go after lower level to get them to flip on big fish), it ain't over, What are Libby's motives to lie if not to protect Cheney, serious problem for white house, "Official A' code speak for someone else in danger of being indicted still, etc. None of those sound like whitehousetalkingpoints to me.

7. not sure I understand, but is your argument that because
some valid points were made on this particular occasion, you have no problem with the notion that a priori, Tweety or someone at MSNBC chose to include no Democrats, progressives, liberals or other persons representing left-leaning perspectives while including multiple persons on "the other side"?

9. C-SPAN for me.
I watched it on C-SPAN then, went first to MSNBC to see if the panel had included any democrats. I was surprised that their were none. CNN wasn't much better, but did have the token democrat in Begala and one correspondent that did repudiate some of the RW talking points.

11. This is a serious fricking problem for the democratic party.
We are either, being excluded from network panels, or we are choosing not to participate in them. Either choice will not win us any elections. We need boots on the ground on days like this. It is not like we did not know this was coming.
