FINEMAN just charged that "they" have tried to intimidate reporters

[UTUSN]

By "they" he said, "people running this campaign, tough..."

FINEMAN was pissed, kept referring to "they" and it became clear he was referring to Mc5PLANE's people. He said that this affected him personally, that THEY had "gone around saying I had said PALIN would have to be replaced. I never said that. They are doing it to set us back on our heels. I am going to try and succeed at continuing to be objective."



Earlier, Tweety and BUCHANAN went at it over Rethug charges of sexism against PALIN. Tweety said, "Since when have you become Doctor Phil? What have we been asking that is out of line?"

They escalated into yelling, and BUCHANAN pointed his index finger with his whole arm in front of the wingnut woman in the middle, and yelled, "You are the one who had to apologize to Hillary CLINTON over sexism." Tweety kept yelling, "You're crying crocodile tears, Pat BUCHANAN, you're a 1950s dude. What, do you buy groceries for your wife?!"

I don't think there's a 2nd hour repeat for this.

1. So what's new? They've been intimidating and bullying reporters for 8 years

It's about time those reporters hit back and told them that that shit won't work anymore.

3. Um, it's been much longer than 8 years and that's exactly what Howard's doing.

Hello?

6. Well yeah, probably since the end of The Fairness Doctrine

Which is why it needs to be reinstated.

I know Fineman is standing up to them now, but it's going to take MORE of them standing up than just Fineman.

9. It's not about "them" standing up. It's about all of us standing up. n/t

[EFerrari]

2. Howard is a good guy. If he's saying this, I believe him.

What wouldn't "they" try on?

They won't stop until someone stops them.

4. Bullies only stop bullying when someone stands up to them

I hope that finally the press has decided that enough is enough and stands up to them.

11. The 'press' does stand up...

otherwise we would know nothing about what is going on anywhere in the world today. The television side-shows are another story. For the life of me, I don't understand why people are surprised by what comes through the television screen.

5. They are going to try

and actually walk her through this without any questions outside hand picked town halls.

Anyone who stands for this shit is nuts...there should be some big protests if they wont bring the shy lil reformer out.

7. Damn! The one day I didn't DVR Spitballs, something happens ..

8. GOP memes: Criticism is sexism. Questioning is insulting.

10. I turned on MSNBC and the salivators are at it.

I give them five minutes.
