First Post-Election Meet the Press Features Exclusively Pro-War Politicians
First Post-Election Meet the Press Features Exclusively Pro-War Politicians
http://thinkprogress.org/2006/11/09/mtp-iraq-exclusive/

The 2006 election was defined by a) a repudiation of the war in Iraq and the current Iraq strategy, and b) widespread national victories for Democratic House, Senate, and gubernatorial candidates.

Yet, according to a press aide, this Sunday’s edition of NBC’s Meet the Press will include two interviews: one with Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), an Iraq war supporter who defeated Ned Lamont (D-CT), and one with Sen. John McCain (R-AZ), who recently called for 20,000 additional U.S. troops to be sent to Iraq, and who was not up for reelection in 2006.

In other words, the first post-election edition of Meet the Press will exclusively feature politicians who support the war in Iraq, neither of whom ran as a Democrat.

2. Irrelevant and superfluous...
Boycott Meet the Press... Go for a walk in the park instead...
