I think David Shuster must've read my e-mail!!!
Here's what I sent to MSNBC earlier....

"On Sunday's news show at 1300, David Shuster didn't even challenge McCain's spokesperson, Nancy Pfotenhauer, when she perpetuated the lie that Franklin Raines is associated with the Obama campaign. Your reporters MUST challenge these lies (on both sides) because many people watching the show aren't aware of the lies and take whatever the spokespeople say as the truth! Reporters need to do their jobs!!!!

see more information at this link.....

Yay!!

2. Because he brought it up in the next segment

Sorry, I should've mentioned this in my original post.

Shuster actually asked someone (I didn't get the name) from the Obama campaign if there were any ties between Obama and Raines. The Obama spokesperson debunked the Raines connection.

It just seemed like such a coincidence that right after I fired off my e-mail, Shuster addressed the issue.

4. I believe they actually view Bloggers as "sources" who will do the legwork.

6. Raines also put out a statement that he has no connection with Obama's campaign
But the mainstream media is too lazy to know this.

7. Shuster did challenge Tucker Bounds today on it and it was hilarious!
Tucker Bounds is a braying doofus, and I love it when anyone sets him off.
