Does anyone else get really pissed off when they see Mort Zuckerman sitting on the left? |
|
What's up with that? He used to sit on the right. I didn't really mind him over there since I understand the show needs conservative commentators, but now that he's invaded the left side of the screen and constantly spouts right-wing talking points the show's like a Republican informercial.
This is from Wikipedia: "In addition to his publishing and real-estate interests, Zuckerman is also a frequent commentator on world affairs, both as an editorialist and on television. He occasionally appears on The McLaughlin Group and writes columns for U.S. News & World Report and the New York Daily News, usually taking positions consistent with American conservatism on political matters."
Eleanor is the only liberal left on the show.
They've got that Republican talking head blond lady, Pat Buchanan who, though amusing, is to the right of James Inhofe, Zuckerman, and McLaughlin, who plays devil's advocate but is slightly right of center.
It's basically unwatchable now. Back when it wasn't so blatantly skewed I really enjoyed watching it. But now, it's just another one of the dozens of Fox News style "debate" shows.

1. I've quit watching it, |
|
because of the imbalance.
Besides, I can't stand Monica Crowley. She's just another Rethuglican blonde with a sneer.

4. Yeah, Crowley's just awful. |
|
Tony Blankley was really conservative, but at least he seemed to put some thought into what he said.
Crowley just spouts the talking points. I've never heard her go off message.

2. Crowley is another fascist party doll of the Ann Coulter school. |
|
I wouldn't care if they brought in Amy Goodman, Naomi Klein and Janine Garafolo, Crowley is like broken glass in my ears.

3. I've noticed it too....seems they loaded up the show special for the |
|
election season. The blond bimbo is right from Fox and I weep for poor Eleanor who is constantly interupted. I'm hoping for better participants after the vacation season.

5. Ever notice his hands when he's talking? |
|
his fingers going all wonky...they match his right-wing espousing.

They used to have people sitting on the left who would at least try to espouse a Democratic viewpoint. Now, other than Eleanor, no one even tries.
